Rafflecopter is a great giveaway hosting platform. Hosting giveaways is a great means of exposing your blog and creating viral contents. Giveaways can promote a blog and turn an unknown blog into a popular one, people like giveaways, we can also use giveaways to rewards our readers for their dedication to visiting our blog. Recently I hosted a giveaway on this blog and three winners emerged, I sure hope to host another soonest.
I have also noticed that most bloggers use only Rafflecopter to host giveaways so I decided to share some Rafflecopter alternatives to host giveaways on this post, variety they say is the spice of life. So check out the Rafflecopter alternatives I am going to share here and use them to effectively host giveaways and promote your blog.

The Rafflecopter tram ROCKs! Talk about dedication to creating the best widgets to bring bloggers and promoters together. I don’t know if they ever sleep?

I am also planning to run a set of giveaways on my blog soon as this article has given many two more alternatives to Rafflecopter.
Probably am going to use PunchTab to host my giveaway. Thanks for the article. Its quite useful.
Hmm, really a giveaway can boost readers ! I can say it with LOUD VOICE :)
I was known about Punchtab and Raffelcopter but i was unknown about PromoSimple ad Giveaway Tools, definitely I will try this application when I will introduce my next giveaway !
Thank you for sharing an useful post !
Hi Nwosu, this is very interesting and informative article on rafflecopter. Thanks for sharing dude.
You need to find something you can reward your readers with and use it as your prize. Thanks for your comment.
PunchTab seems to be the most popular giveaway tool among bloggers, thanks for visiting.
Sure Rafflecopter rocks but since they introduced premium features, bloggers are beginning to look for Rafflecopter alternatives with better features.

Using the right tools to promote your offering can expand your presence quickly, and it can also help more people get in on your cool promotions.

Rafflecopter and Punchtab were the awesome giveaway widgets that I know. Rafflecopter will be the best if one want to promote his giveaway daily on social networks. Whereas Punchtab is the best to refer more people to enter in the giveaway. But I haven’t tried and used Promosimple.
Thanks Ryan for your contribution, yes a good and well hosted giveaway can shoot a blog into the limelight and could be the game changer you dream of in blogging.
I am considering Punchtab for my next giveaway, just as you said PunchTab improves entrants into a contest more than Rafflecopter, though such feature only exist as a premium feature on Rafflecopter.
Hello Nwosu,
I am a total novice when it comes to giveaway. I have never done it before but very soon, i will be venturing the rout. thanks for the useful information do have a blessed week :)
Great alternative between i’m familiar with punch tab not heard of the other one would like to check it out with my other upcoming giveaway
Hey bro,
Good to know about these alternatives
I started off with rafflecopter but soon got so attracted to punchtab because of some of its unique features. The unique link and point reward feature helps you get more traffic as participants help pull hits to their referral link. Though this too constitute a source of link spamming, I’m still studying it out carefully.
I have also been on giveawaytools but still to use it
promosimple is what I just found here on the list. I may have time to check it closer
Thanks for the list bro
Thanks Babanature for your comment, do have a great week as well.
Well, I am not too old at blogging. And I’ve never had any giveaways at my blog. I knew only about Punchtab. Thanks for telling me about more alternatives. :)
Thanks for your comment Shameem, i am glad you find the post interesting.
Wonderful and informative article, i really do appreciate it, planning to run a giveaway on my blog, and this is the best free option.
Wow, I don’t know that we have more alternatives for punchtab. Only have tried Punchtab and Rafflecopter.
ps: Currently I’m running an awesome giveaway and anyone reading this comment can see Punchtab in action :)
Thanks for visiting and dropping your comment, glad you found the post interesting…
Thanks for your comment Ambika, do have a great week.
Definitely going to check out your giveaway, i love winning things.
Thanks for your comment
Thank you for including PromoSimple in your round-up of alternatives. We have a variety of new features that will be released very soon to further expand the functionality of the PromoSimple platform (including new Free features). If we can be of any help for setting up your future giveaways please do let us know!
Thanks again,
Dan
Thanks Dan i will surely do so. Glad you visited.
Thanks for this article we were looking for Rafflecopter alternatives that were more cost effective and had more features. This helped a LOT!
Giveaways in another important technique to attract more readers. Getting start with right choice is always better. BTW, Good points.
I want to embed the Google + feature into the giveaway. Do any of these use Google + or just Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter?
I’m so happy that I came across with your article. I used rafflecopter in my first giveaway (free version) and was not what I expected. I will try Punchtab to see how it works.
You can use Rafflecopter, Woobox, Punchtab, Promosimple and Giveaway Tools with GiveawayFrenzy and get even more social shares by locking your giveaway before they even enter it. So depending on which tool you use you can get more out of it.
Hey Nwosu, would be awesome if you could add Gleam.io to the list :)
