Keep track of what specifically? Are you asking about a specific entry prompt? I mentioned at the end of the episode how I assign my VA to copy and paste ALL comment entries to the main google doc we have for entries. Also, I would challenge you (lovingly) to ask yourself the question, "If I did know how to track the entries for the giveaway, what would I do?" then the answer comes to you and you try and system, and then refine it as you go! Also check my answer to Kristen's question here in the comments! Maybe that's what you were asking about specifically? Hope this helps! :)
Any time you see someone reshare/tag you, you just write down their IG handle in a Google doc/notes related to the giveaway ;) So during the week you need to be on top of seeing who tags you and noting it down. But if that's your bonus entry (like it was for my giveaway entry instructions) you won't get much of those! So don't worry it won't be overwhelming :) I think I may have had about 15-20 story shares. The rest (about 1500) were tagging in comments which IMO is most effective to keep the energy up of the giveaway and get more reach! :) Did this help?
Got it. I wouldn’t be able to remember to check all the stories every day - do you make sure people are not “private” on there because if they are you can’t see their stories/you can’t tell if they follow you etc? I ask because there are strict giveaway rules in the US. You have to list what states are allowed to enter and you have to also provide an alternate way to enter without online I believe AND you can’t require a follow as an option I think. I know IG is hard on giveaways/contests!
@@Kristenwynnphotography Thanks for sharing! Two things: 1. If you tell your mind "I wouldn't be able to remember to check all the stories every day" then that will be true. If you choose to prioritize it and make sure to check once every 24 hours, then that will be true too. You get to choose how you want to approach it and what's important to you! 2. Every time someone shares to a story, I get a notification on IG about it so I can just check those notifications once a day and see who shared! Good question I never thought about not being able to see that private accounts tagged me. I assume we would be able to because we were tagged and it's in IG's best interest to notify us! 2. I'm in Canada so I don't know all the rules in other countries etc. (and also to be honest I don't know the rules in Canada either I just put this together while I was inspired in the moment), so I'm not the one to ask about "rules" advice! I'm sure someone in the photo community can give you more legal advice!
Yes, how do you keep track???

I'm interested in doing this but how can I count the entries shared to stories? Like how do I even record those?
