Why it works

A prize buys reach LinkedIn ads cannot.

LinkedIn ads are some of the most expensive there are, and they stop the moment you do. One prize your market wants sets a different machine running. Here is what makes it cheaper.

01

Free to enter

Nothing to pay is a low bar, so people who would never click an ad will enter. You gather a wide top of funnel for the cost of one prize.

02

The prize does the selling

An iPad, a licence, a course seat or a conference pass is something professionals genuinely want. They enter and pass it on because it is worth winning, not because you asked.

03

Every action does two jobs

Each way in is also a growth win. A follow, a subscribe, an event sign up. They earn a chance, and you gain an audience and a warm lead at once.

04

One link, everywhere

The whole draw is a single link. Drop it in your bio, your posts, your newsletter, your email signature and your next event. Every touchpoint turns into sign ups.

05

Warm by default

When entry spreads through a professional network, it reaches decision-makers with a colleague's name attached. That is reach cold ads never buy.

06

You keep the audience

When the draw closes the followers and subscribers are yours. You can post to them and email them again without paying for the next impression.

The maths

What a draw is worth against LinkedIn ads.

Start with your following. We apply a rough conversion to estimate entries, then weigh the cost of those subscribers against LinkedIn paid.

12,000

Followers and connections across your page and profile, roughly.

£250
£25
~1,200 estimated entries, about 10% of your following

Cost per subscriber

With a draw~£0.33
On LinkedIn ads~£25
Same subscribers on ads~£30,000
You save vs ads~£29,600
Beats ads past~16 entries
Cheaper than ads~75×

Plus ~740 new followers and ~210 reposts and mentions, on top.

Entries are estimated at about 10% of your following, an illustrative rate. Prize and ad costs are your own numbers. LinkedIn ad cost per lead is typically £20 to £100. Follower and repost counts use 62% and 18%.

How it works

One prize in. An audience out.

A draw wins you more than a list. Followers, subscribers, event sign ups and warm leads too, all from a single prize. No agency, no developer, no ad budget, and live this afternoon.

STEP 1

Build your draw

Set the prize, choose the LinkedIn actions that earn entries, get terms written for you, and brand it as your own.

STEP 2

Share one link

People join with an email and climb the count by following, subscribing and registering. Every channel is tracked.

STEP 3

Draw and keep

Pick a winner fairly, with an auditable result. Then export every new follower and subscriber, ready for next time.

Then run the next one. Monthly or quarterly, each draw compounds the last.

The menu

Every draw is built from a menu of actions.

Each one earns the entrant a chance and earns you something back. Lead with the actions LinkedIn rewards, and keep the reach actions as a light, optional extra.

Versus LinkedIn ads

Same budget. A very different asset at the end.

LinkedIn ads

Rent attention

  • ×You pay again for every click, and clicks here are dear
  • ×The audience belongs to the platform
  • ×Costs tend to rise as the campaign scales
  • ×When the spend stops, the reach stops with it

A prize draw

Own the audience

  • One prize covers every entry, not every click
  • Every follower and subscriber is yours to keep
  • Word of mouth among professionals can lower the cost
  • An audience you own and can reach again
Compliance

Built for UK prize draws, safe on LinkedIn.

Prize draws come with legal questions, and LinkedIn has rules of its own. The platform handles both, so you can run one without a lawyer or a banned account.

Free to enter, by design

Nobody pays to enter, and a draw with no payment to enter is not a lottery under UK law. That is the line that keeps you clear of a gambling licence.

Plays nicely with LinkedIn

Entries are follows, subscribes and sign ups, not forced comments or reposts. That keeps you the right side of LinkedIn's engagement-bait rules, where giveaway spam gets posts buried and accounts limited.

A winner you can prove

The draw is random and leaves an auditable record, so you can show it was fair if anyone asks.

Data handled properly

Emails are collected with clear consent, marketing consent is separate and optional, and the list is yours under GDPR.

UK draws today, with more markets on the way. This keeps compliance straightforward, but it is not legal advice, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn. The promotion is yours to run, and the platform keeps the mechanics clean underneath it.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Will this get my LinkedIn account flagged?

Not if you run it the way we set it up. Entries are following, subscribing and registering, which LinkedIn allows. We keep reposts and tagging off by default, because forcing them is the engagement bait LinkedIn buries and restricts. You stay on the safe side.

Is it legal to run a draw like this?

Yes. Nobody pays to enter, so it is a free draw under UK rules, not a lottery, and no gambling licence is needed. We generate compliant terms for every draw.

Do entrants really pay nothing?

Correct. They enter with an email and earn extra chances by following, subscribing or registering. The value to you is the audience, not an entry fee.

How often should I run one?

Most run a draw every month or quarter. One-off draws work, but the audience compounds when you make it a habit. Each draw starts from the bigger following the last one built, so your cost per subscriber keeps falling.

What do I keep at the end?

Every follower and subscriber, exported and ready for your CRM and email tool, along with the channel each one came through.
