It comes with the \u2018Join an Email Newsletter\u2019 and \u2018Refer a Friend – Viral\u2019 actions automatically added to the giveaway widget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Refer a Friend action asks users to share the giveaway on your social media network of choice. For example, you can ask people to share the contest on:

- Facebook<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Twitter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Pinterest<\/li>\n\n\n\n

![\"viral](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/viral-referral-share-options.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe idea behind this action is that as more people share your contest, more people enter using that same method and share it even more. So it creates an ever-growing circle of sharing that can quickly make your giveaway go viral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who Should Use This Template?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

![\"new](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/daily-entries.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMany of these actions allow people to complete the same task daily to earn more entries. And since most people will take as many actions as they can, it results in repeated engagement and brand awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Facebook Giveaway Template<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
![\"Facebook](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-giveaway-template.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Facebook giveaway<\/a> template provides everything you need to grow your Facebook followers<\/a> and engagement with viral giveaways successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s automatically populated with giveaway actions to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Visit on Facebook<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- View a Facebook Post or Video<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This means you can direct giveaway users to your Facebook content right from your WordPress site. There are several advantages to this approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, when users visit your Facebook page, they\u2019re highly likely to Like your page if they enjoy your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second, having more people reading your Facebook posts increases your engagement, making your content appear more in the Facebook newsfeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guess what that means – more visibility!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you like, you can add more Facebook-related giveaway actions, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Like our Page<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Share on Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"facebook](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/facebook-like-share-giveaway-action.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBut you should use these at your own risk. This is because Facebook doesn\u2019t allow you to incentivize Likes and Shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who Should Use This Template?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This giveaway template is one of the best solutions for increasing your Facebook page fans, likes, and engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chances are that by just visiting your Instagram profile, people are motivated to follow you, leading to more followers and engagement on your Instagram content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another action you can add to improve your giveaway is the \u2018Submit an Image\u2019 action. This lets giveaway participants enter by uploading a photo or image right on your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Submit](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/submit-an-image-entry-action.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSince Instagram is a highly visual platform, running a photo contest<\/a> like this is a popular way to collect user-generated content<\/a> (UGC) like reviews and testimonials. You can then use that content for marketing your brand on Instagram in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who Should Use This Template?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Giveaway Template?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A giveaway template is a framework that gives you all the essential elements for creating a successful giveaway. But, instead of working from scratch, it offers building blocks you can customize with your own giveaway content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many contest templates have a theme, enabling you to choose one that aligns with your giveaway goals<\/a>. For instance, if you want to collect email addresses, it\u2019s a good idea to select a template designed to grow your email list<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, every template aims to make creating your online contest easy without hiring expert help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Are the Benefits of Using Templates for Giveaways?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The main benefit of using a giveaway template is it allows you to quickly create online contests without hiring a developer or writing code. This can significantly reduce the cost of running a contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And since templates allow you to set up a giveaway yourself, it also saves time and gives you more control over how everything looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
