Amazon offers a unique online contest platform, called Amazon Giveaways, that allows any business, group or blogger to run promotional contests online. Visit the Twitter feed #AmazonGiveaway to find hundreds of giveaway links to FREE prizes, entirely paid for by the "Host."
"Host" = any business, group or blogger
These "Hosts" are hoping to promote goodwill for their brand, find new customers, or gain valuable online exposure with these FREE prize giveaways. Here is a quote from Amazon to the "Hosts" about the Amazon Giveaways program, "Run promotional giveaways to create buzz, reward your audience, and grow your followers and customers."
So what does this all mean to you? Lots and lots of FREE STUFF!
You might find a giveaway link, on the #AmazonGiveaway Twitter feed, in one of these Amazon store categories: Books, Tech Accessories, Music - CDs & Vinyl, Lawn & Garden, Toys & Games, Home & Kitchen.
"Hosts" have the entire Amazon store available to them for giveaways...but it gets even better...Amazon delivers the prizes directly to the winner, with no shipping or sales taxes.
Want to try your luck and see if you can win an Amazon Giveaway?
Endgame - Each "Host" sets up his Amazon Giveaway a little bit different, so make sure you read the how-to instructions in the Tweet. All contest participants will end up clicking on a #AmazonGiveaway virtualbox to see if they’ve won the prize. To control entrants from making multiple contest submissions, you must have an Amazon account.
Okay, I didn't win...what now? You can still get a significant discount on some of the Amazon Giveaway prizes through Amazon.
Here is one of the messages I got from Amazon:
Shucks! You didn't win. But you can still have a super organized make-up, travel bag at a big discount. Save 12% with this code! The promotion code should be used by Jan 31, 2018, 11:59 PM PST
Well, I just saw an Amazon Giveaway for an MSI gaming laptop, I want to try to win...wish me luck.
