Frequently asked questions

Is the analysis really free?

Yes, fully free. We spend about 30-45 minutes per analysis. It is the fastest way for both sides to find out if the project fits. About half of analyses end with us recommending a different approach or saying we are not the right partner.

What if I'm not sure about my budget?

Choose "Not sure, please advise." We will include an indicative price band based on what your goal realistically requires.

Will you share my contest details with competitors?

No. Every submission is confidential. We do not share contest URLs, briefs, or client names. We do not work with two clients competing in the same contest at the same time — if you submit and we are already engaged on the same contest, we will tell you immediately and decline.

What if my contest doesn't fit your services?

We tell you in the analysis and suggest a direction that would help. That might be a different channel mix, a different timeline, a different agency, or no marketing spend at all if organic effort would serve you better.

How long until I hear back?

Within 1-2 business hours, Mon-Fri 09:00-21:00 GMT+3. Submissions outside those hours get a reply by 11:00 GMT+3 next business day.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What exactly do I get in the free contest analysis?
We review your contest link, entry type, voting rules, and current promotion setup, then send you a written summary covering your realistic audience reach, which channels are worth pursuing, a rough timeline, and an honest verdict on whether paid promotion makes financial sense for your specific situation. No sales pitch, no obligation. Most analyses come back within one business day.
How do I submit my contest for the free analysis?
Fill in the short form on this page with your contest URL, the voting deadline, a sentence about your goal, and your email. That is all we need to start. We may follow up with one or two clarifying questions if the contest rules are unusual or if the platform restricts external promotion.
Is the analysis really free, or is there a catch?
It is genuinely free. We offer it because many contests are not a good fit for paid marketing, and we would rather tell you that upfront than take your money on a campaign that will not move the needle. If the analysis shows promotion is worthwhile, you can choose to hire us. If not, you leave with useful information at no cost.
How does your agency help people get votes for a contest?
We run targeted paid ads on platforms like Meta and TikTok to put your contest entry in front of people who already care about the topic. We also help with organic content, email outreach templates, and community engagement strategies. Every tactic drives real people to your public voting link — no automation, no fake accounts, no platform logins on your behalf.
What does it actually mean to get people to vote for you online using legitimate methods?
It means giving real people a compelling reason to click your voting link and cast a genuine ballot. That involves clear, shareable creative (a good photo or short video), a message that explains why your cause or entry matters, and distribution through the right channels so the ask reaches people who are predisposed to support you. We cover the full process here.
Can you guarantee I will win my contest?
No. We will never promise a win, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. Contest outcomes depend on your starting position, the number and activity of other competitors, the platform's rules, and factors outside any agency's control. What we can do is give your entry the strongest honest promotional push possible and be transparent about whether that push is likely to matter given the gap you face.
Do you buy votes, use bots, or create fake accounts?
Never. Buying votes, using automated bots, or creating fake accounts violates contest terms of service and can get your entry disqualified, sometimes permanently. Beyond the rules issue, it is simply dishonest. Our entire model is built on driving real, voluntary votes from real people, which is the only kind that holds up under any organizer audit.
Will you log into my contest account or vote on my behalf?
No. We never ask for your platform login credentials, and we never cast votes directly. Our job is to bring real people to your public voting page so they can vote themselves. You remain in full control of your account at all times.
How do I get votes for a photo contest specifically?
Photo contests respond especially well to visual ad campaigns because the entry itself is the creative. We build ads around your photo, target audiences with demonstrated interest in the contest category (pets, babies, travel, etc.), and drive them to your voting link. Shares and community posts in relevant Facebook groups or subreddits can also move the needle. See our contest promotion service for details.
How long does it take to see results after promotion starts?
Paid ad campaigns typically begin delivering votes within 24 to 48 hours of launch as the platform exits its learning phase. Organic outreach and community posting can produce spikes faster but is harder to sustain. A realistic view: expect meaningful traction within two to four days, with the bulk of the campaign's impact spread across the following week, assuming a standard one-to-two-week voting window.
My contest ends in three days. Is there enough time?
Three days is tight but workable for a paid ad campaign if we can start today. We would skip the slower organic channels and focus entirely on paid distribution. The analysis will tell you honestly whether the vote gap you need to close is mathematically achievable in that window given a realistic budget, so you can decide if it is worth spending the money.
How much does contest promotion typically cost?
Cost depends on how many votes you need, the competition level on the platform, the contest category, and the timeframe. Entry-level campaigns start in the low hundreds of dollars. Larger gaps or high-competition contests can run into the thousands. The free analysis gives you a specific range for your situation before you commit to anything. You can also browse our pricing page for reference.
What is the minimum budget that actually makes a difference?
Below roughly $150 in ad spend, the campaign often does not exit the platform's learning phase before your contest ends, meaning you get poor delivery and unpredictable results. We flag this in the analysis if your deadline or gap makes a meaningful campaign impractical at a budget you are comfortable with.
What makes a contest entry a good candidate for paid promotion?
Strong candidates have a public, shareable voting link; a prize or cause that gives voters a clear emotional or tangible reason to care; a timeline of at least five days remaining; and a vote gap that is large enough to be a real obstacle but not so enormous that it would require an unrealistic budget to close. The free analysis scores your entry against all of these factors.
What makes a contest a poor fit for paid promotion?
Contests where voting requires platform registration or a phone number dramatically reduce conversion rates, often making the cost per vote too high. Single-IP-vote restrictions can also limit what paid traffic can accomplish. And if you are already in first place comfortably, additional spending may not be worth it. We will tell you plainly if your situation falls into one of these categories.
I am running for school captain and need votes. Can you help?
School captain elections are a different animal from online public contests. They typically involve a closed electorate of classmates, which means broad digital advertising is not the right tool. In this case, the analysis would likely point you toward personal outreach, poster campaigns, and speech coaching rather than paid promotion — and we would say so clearly rather than take your money on a campaign that will not reach the right people.
How do I get people to vote for me online when I have no existing audience?
Starting from zero means leaning heavily on paid distribution, because organic reach depends on an existing following. Paid ads can target by interest and location without needing a single follower. The other lever is finding communities — Facebook groups, Reddit threads, Discord servers — that are naturally aligned with your contest topic and making a genuine, non-spammy ask. We walk through both approaches in detail here.
What platforms do you run ads on for contest promotion?
Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and TikTok are our primary channels for most consumer-facing contests because of their visual ad formats and audience targeting depth. For niche or professional contests, LinkedIn or Reddit ads can outperform. The free analysis will recommend specific platforms based on your entry type and the audience most likely to vote for you.
Do you also help with organic outreach, or is it only paid ads?
Both. Organic outreach — posting in relevant communities, email blasts to your own list, crafting a shareable social post — is part of almost every campaign we plan. We build the templates and messaging for you. Organic alone is usually not enough to close a large vote gap quickly, but it complements paid well and costs nothing extra in ad spend.
Will you post in Facebook groups or Reddit threads on my behalf?
We provide the copy, identify the right communities, and coach you on how to post in a way that feels genuine rather than spammy. Actual posting is generally done by you or someone on your team, because a personal account posting authentically performs far better than an outsider account, and community moderators can tell the difference.
How do I know the votes I am getting are from real people?
Every vote driven by our campaigns comes from a real person clicking a paid or organic link and casting a voluntary ballot. We do not use scripts, browser extensions, or click farms. You can verify this indirectly by watching for normal vote-time patterns (spread across the day, not a sudden bulk spike at 3 a.m.) and by checking if your vote counter tracks with the traffic analytics we can share.
Can promotion help if I am already losing badly?
It depends on the gap and the time remaining. A 500-vote deficit with a week left is potentially closeable with a focused campaign. A 50,000-vote gap with two days left is almost certainly not. The free analysis calculates a realistic ceiling based on your budget range and timeline, so you make an informed decision rather than a hopeful one.
What information do you need from me to run an effective campaign?
Your public voting link, the contest rules (especially any per-person or IP voting limits), your deadline, your current vote count versus the leader, a brief description of your entry and its category, and your available budget range. The clearer the picture you give us, the more precise our analysis and campaign setup will be.
What happens if the contest platform changes its rules mid-campaign?
We monitor campaigns actively and can pause or redirect spend if we spot a rule change or unusual platform behavior. If a rule change materially undermines the campaign's viability, we will tell you immediately and discuss pausing or stopping rather than continuing to spend money on tactics that will no longer work.
How do you handle a contest that only allows one vote per email address?
One-vote-per-email contests are among the hardest to scale with paid promotion because each person can only contribute once, and the friction of email verification reduces click-to-vote conversion rates substantially. The free analysis will flag this and adjust the expected cost-per-vote upward so the budget estimate reflects reality.
Is paying for contest promotion ethical?
Paying to promote your entry through legitimate advertising is the same as paying to promote a product or a cause — it is legal and accepted practice. The ethical line is crossed when you buy manufactured votes, use bots, or deceive the organizer. Running real ads that bring real voters to a public page is no different from a political campaign buying yard signs or TV spots.
How should I frame my ask when getting someone to vote for me?
Be direct and personal. Explain what the contest is, why winning matters to you, and how easy it is to vote (ideally one click). People respond to specific, human reasons far more than generic calls to action. If you can tie the contest to a cause or a shared interest the voter already has, conversion rates improve noticeably. Avoid begging or inflating the importance of the contest.
What if I just want advice, not a full campaign?
The free analysis is essentially that — actionable written advice you can act on yourself. Many people receive the analysis and run their own outreach based on our recommendations without hiring us. We are fine with that outcome. If you later decide you want us to manage the campaign, the analysis gives us a head start.
How do I measure whether the promotion is working?
The simplest measure is your public vote count versus the leaderboard position before and after the campaign period. We also provide basic campaign metrics (impressions, clicks, link click-through rate) so you can see how ad performance correlates with vote movement. We set expectations at the start so you have a benchmark, not just a gut feeling.
Is there a type of contest you consistently find marketing cannot help with?
Yes: judged competitions where public voting is a minor component, closed-network votes limited to registered members of a private organization, and contests where the organizer has explicitly prohibited external promotion. In all three cases, we say so in the analysis and explain why spending money on promotion would be wasted, because there is no path from an ad impression to a valid vote.
