Tips & List of Linkys to Increase the Reach of Your Giveaway

So you've started hosting giveaways on your blog - congrats! They're fun, especially when you receive the item free yourself for review. Woohooooo! They can also drive extra traffic to your sight, which is always welcome!

There are a few different programs you can use for your giveaway. I personally use Rafflecopter. One tip is to include extra entry points for tweeting, pinning, and Facebook sharing about your giveaway. This will pull in friends and fans of your participants, and help spread word exponentially. You should also include extra entry points for following your own social media accounts and those of the company sponsoring the giveaway - this won't necessarily spread word but gaining fans is a huge benefit of hosting giveaways!

Another tip is to list your giveaway on as many linky lists as you can. Here's the list I use, divided by the day of the week that each blogger posts her giveaway link-up:
