Hey Bob, no I was not thinking you would scam in anyway, I have not tried this at all. I want to though, this brought me back to a method I used some years ago on FB, building pages of WHY I LOVE_____ travel, car, sports etc.....people come say why and you promote a cpa offer, i was in travel. I am truly speculating as well, I would like to ask......what is a punter?
I just got a client for something else but when I try this I will let you know.
Whatever method you see being run honestly and legitimately there will be scammers who will try to take advantage and devise a scam version.
I have run genuine giveaways to boost likes and shares on Facebook pages. The method is to award the prize you promise to a person who will then take pictures and prove that the promotion is real. Social proof makes the page viral.
Quote:After 36 hours, and with my offer submitted to 14 separate giveaway/sweepstake sites, I have had - let me check, yes, 18 separate visitors, of which a grand total of 4 actually signed up to my list.
How long a timeframe did you establish for you contest? A week? Two? A month? More?
I noticed in the case study, he set the conclusion date for the contest to be nearly 90 days from the time he set it up. That's a long time, though he did check back in a week and had good results in just 7 days.
Of course, I also noticed that he was running the contest on his own coupon Website, which seems to be already well established and is likely already getting a lot of traffic.
This seems like a method that
could work, but it likely won't work by just following the method as described. It will likely work best as supplementary income in a niche for which you're already drawing traffic.
It's less a "how to make money" system than a "how to increase your income from an already profitable Website" system.

Thanks for asking - I thought it was about time I updated this thread. So, after just over a month the list has slowly grown to 70 subscribers, and I have made two CPA sales, netting me $4. A good chunk of those subs came via a Fiverr gig, from a supplier with a sweepstakes blog.
Not really what I was hoping for.
Just FYI: I modified the method by offering a free gift for every entrant - a download PLR ebook on making money. Don't know if it helped but I don't think it hurt either. Maybe there's something else I could have offered at zero cost but couldn't think of anything.
That said, I think I'm going to modify my conclusions and agree with essmeier - yes, this could work potentially. But, as is so often the case, the claims of "floods of traffic" are ridiculous unless you have massive prizes, and who's going to risk those with an unproven technique?
(Anyone want a prebuilt website now? Barely used.)

By now, I find it hard to believe any one of them; my lack of support for them extends even to those few, very few, among them of whom some members state, "I like so-and-so's stuff," or "This marketer always puts out good products," etc., etc.
But, rather than villifying them, I think it would please me more to meet a few of them in person and learn how they do so much damage...and, then imitate the shmucks, by selling clay and dust painted to appear like rubies and diamonds!
Thanks for the comments, but I'd encourage you to stay on the side of the angels Jorge! It is possible to produce honest products and solutions that can help people, rather than the misleading overblown nonsense that permeates the IM space.
This specific product is far from being a winner IMO, but at its heart there's a concept that *can* work, to a degree. The problem isn't so much in the concept, it's in the claims made for it.

Just for the record, lest someone may misunderstand me, and I think you may have, Bobhenry, the last sentence of my post was merely tongue-in-cheek, an attempt to shock a little. I would never sink that low.
Thanks for a great share.
