Rafflecopter, How Do I Use It!
I know a lot of people think Rafflecopter is very hard & confusing, but once you have grasped it, it is really quick & easy to use.
Why does Family Clan use Rafflecopter?
We use Rafflecopter for our giveaway as we can verify every entry & see when someone is cheating. Using Rafflecopters rival Gleam doesn’t give us this option.
So how do I use Rafflecopter?
We will take you through it step by step.
- We ALWAYS have a mandatory question, if you don’t complete this none of your entries will count. The extra tasks are optional but do give you additional entries into our giveaways.
Using Rafflecopter
- Scroll down the page until you see the Rafflecopter form & click on what looks like a V on the right side, where the arrow is pointing to.
- Read the task. (What would you like extra energy to do? Comment in the box at the bottom of the page then leave your name below.)
- Scroll to the very bottom of the page & leave your comment in the bottom box, it will ask you to leave your name & an email address.
- Scroll back up to the Rafflecopter form & leave your name in the little box & press Enter
- The rest of the tasks will now show themselves. These are all optional, but the more your do the more entries into the giveaway that you have.

This sounds a lot more complicated than it actually is, once you have done a couple of Rafflecopter giveaways you will see how easy it is.
Good luck in our giveaways.

Only just seen this post – will be sending to a few friends : best explanation ive seen thanks
I don’t mind using rafflecopter, it’s when companies ask you to like 5 different pages and come back again for extra and share for extra and before you done the rafflecopter you’ve answered about 30 questions which is time consuming but loving how you shown how to do step by step
