<div class="entry">
<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><iframe src="https://api.tweetmeme.com/button.js?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.seopositiveltd.co.uk%2Fblog%2Fmake-the-decision-to-use-competwition&style=normal&b=2" height="61" width="50" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
<p>Competwition is a brilliant website that is heavily dependent on the social networking phenomenon that is <a href="../../blog/category/twitter">Twitter</a>. Competwition, for those who haven’t guessed already, is an integration of competition and Twitter, which is Competwition in a nutshell.</p>
<p>Running contests on social media has always been one method of earning followers, and it most likely always will be. There is only one problem with running contests and that is for the <a href="../../blog/category/social-media">social media</a> campaigns that have just started, these contests go unnoticed. Competwition is a great site that displays your contest.</p>
<h2>So How Does It Work?</h2>
<p>Competwition allows different text to be entered, such as a description and even a tweet out message, also there is a legality section. You can add an image of the prize too! Once you create your contest, you send it off to be reviewed, now I had some trouble with this but one of the employees (Mark Bowering) responded to my submission and really helped me. He even submitted a new and improved version of the contest for me.</p>
<p>When your contest is live it will appear in the list of running contests on the competwition site, sometimes they will even tweet that you have been added to the listings. The contests that end soonest will appear on the first page and the competitions with a longer wait time will be towards the end.</p>
<p>If someone does enter your contest, they automatically follow your twitter account (you can choose any account you want), they also follow the Competwition Twitter account, AND they tweet a message of your choice, including a link to the contest.</p>
<h2>The Results</h2>
<p>Using this service really proved fruitful for my Twitter account, I ran the contest for a month and it still has four days left, in that space of time, Competwition has brought me 232 followers. There is no question that using Competwition has been an extremely beneficial process, and I will definitely continue to run contests through this site.</p>
<p>Just for comparison, before I started using Competwition, I had roughly 30 followers, but now, I have 234. Not to mention that there is still four days left on my contest, so I expect the numbers to creep up a little more.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Competwition is a great tool for increasing your following, it is something that everyone who is running a competition for their social media campaign should not only be aware of, but become a user of Competwition. It is a free service and if you’re running a contest, it will help massively to get the ball rolling, so without further ado, here is the link to Competwition <a href="https://competwition.com/">https://competwition.com</a>.</p>
