Yup I agree with Hash, it all boils down to location, location and location. This depends on how much the sponsor is willing to do in terms of shipping and other logistics. Larger giveways in the thousands will have more countries eligible to win while smaller ones will only have certain countries that seemed to win. Even though the users are new with not that many reviews or activities. They used to inform which countries is eligible then the list is no longer there and then suddenly it is listed back
After that, then they look at the users demographic and so on. Some one of us now feel being an unpaid intern answering the questions in the discussions and perhaps is no longer the main reason we are picked to get giveways 🤪 but that’s okay. If you’re really doing well in social media, you could get selected for giveways without Picky’s help.
I like to point out Picky has grown a lot with more newer users are joining in. While the Picky of old ,had people who literally live and breath skin care, while some newer ones are just here for free stuff without really contributing to the discussion and growth of the app. It’s a bit sad for the app but business wise it is one way Picky could survive and continue to do it’s massive giveways by having a massive data base of users.
My social media is pretty much about my cat and my life uploaded when I feel like it, so to have Picky selecting me when I fit the demographic or when my country is selected is great!
I thank Picky for many MANY giveways I won like 9 since joining in Feb 2021? and manage to buy one of their boxes by just paying shipping.
I am relatively active here except on days when they announced winners because then the discussion is spammed with Thank You post.
I am still active in discussion and forums while now I am on the hunt of reporting spam post. Now I look for unrelated non beauty post to report 🥸.
Just enjoy your time here and the free stuff is just a bonus, if you’re really doing well or you want to take matters in your hand, try approaching the companies if they are doing their own product giveways
