The entrant opens the profile you linked, your grid or a sponsor's, and taps follow. On Instagram the follower count is the first thing a profile visitor reads, and every entry moves it.

Pin the giveaway announcement to the top of your grid. Entrants arriving to follow see it first, and so does everyone they tag.

The task drops every entrant on the post or Reel you picked, the like one tap away. Launch the giveaway alongside a fresh post and the likes surge in its first hours, while Instagram is deciding whether it reaches Explore.

Keep like counts visible on the giveaway post. The climbing number is social proof for every organic visitor who lands on it.

The entrant opens your post and leaves a comment. Write a caption worth answering, like what they would do with the prize, and the thread under the post reads like a conversation. Entries arrive for as long as the giveaway runs, so the post stays active past day one.

Reply to a few early comments yourself. Each reply grows the thread, and entrants see a host who is present.

The entrant shares the post you configured to their own story, where it sits at the top of the app for the next 24 hours. Every follower of theirs sees it coming from someone they trust, and each new entrant adds another story.

A story leaves no permanent link, so proof submission collects the entrant's Instagram username instead.

Ask entrants to mention your account when they share. Each mention lands in your DMs, so you can reply and pull the entrant further in.

The entrant comments on your post and tags the friends you asked for. Each tag sends a notification from someone the recipient knows. That reach is warmer than an ad, and it lands on the people most likely to enter next.

You set how many friends each comment must tag, from 1 to 10. Three is the default and the format's classic ask.

Keep the count at 2 or 3. A ten-tag ask reads as spam in the comments and slows every entrant down.

The task opens your Reel and completes only after the watch time you set. Every entry adds watch time, one of the signals Instagram weighs when deciding how far the Reel travels.

Video codes ask for something only a viewer sees. Flash one to five secret codes at moments you choose in the Reel. The task asks for every code once the minimum time is up.

The minimum watch time runs from 1 second to 10 minutes, enough to carry a viewer through a full Reel several times over.

Set the watch time longer than the Reel itself. Reels loop, so the extra seconds play out as a rewatch.
