A public subscriber count is your channel's first impression, and a giveaway moves it fast. Aim the task at your own channel, or give a sponsor the burst by pointing a bonus task at theirs.

Make subscribing to your channel required and a partner's channel a bonus task. Your growth is guaranteed, theirs is the upsell.

Point it at a regular video, a Short, a live stream, or a community post. Likes early in a video's life feed the recommendation algorithm, so a giveaway timed to an upload gives your launch window a concentrated push.

Swap the video URL between giveaways to spread engagement across your catalog instead of piling it on one upload.

Comments carry more algorithmic weight than likes and double as social proof for every future viewer. Ask a question in the video itself ("which prize would you pick?") and the task fills your comment section with answers instead of one-word entries.

Works on regular videos, Shorts, live streams, and community posts.

The entrant opens your video and must stay on it for the watch time you set before the task completes. It puts minutes of retention behind every entry instead of a drive-by click.

Video code verification turns that into provable watch time: you reveal one to five secret codes at moments you choose in the video, and entrants must enter every code after the minimum time. Case, spacing, and lookalike characters (O/0, I/l) are matched automatically, so honest viewers never get stuck on typing.

The minimum watch time is yours to set, anywhere from 1 second to 10 minutes, and it applies to regular videos, Shorts, and live streams.

Place one code mid-video and one in the final seconds. Retention holds to the end because leaving early means missing a code.
