Picky winner?

I am wondering why I'm not selected on picky...I review products, engage on discussions, comment. I have applied manyyyyyyyy times, been eyeing on many favourites. But got selected as winner only once😕 would love to know how many times you win from picky? Also would love to know your tips and tricks to increase chances as winners...❤

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

Couldn't agree more. I won just once since february, the other months were just about losing points, since my country isn't chosen (at least Picky doesn't choose me). So I'm here just to check new products and try to help ppl 🤷🏻‍♀️

Some get nothing, some get all products. It's mostly about location. Some of them that live in the US, have won every single giveaway, they've have applied to. Even if they don't write reviews or engage much.

I agree with you I have seen many people winning who aren't even active on Instagram. Also Indonesia and Malaysia is on top of the list..

Wish Picky could give equal chances for everyone to win, but yeah some people get all products, while others nothing.

Personally, I would only apply for larger giveaways for higher chances of winning. Sometimes I would also apply if the giveaways offer my wishlist products. Dont be sad...just focus on writing good/quality review ya....😉 Maybe after this it will be yours to win.

thanks for your positive comment but honestly I was disappointed when I didn't win the larger giveaways...😕 Also these are the mere benefits of my blog because my blog isn't too big; no paid work..so I consider these my rewards for putting so much effort in taking pictures, writing reviews and testing products..I hope I can improve my content with home and kids it's too difficult to give proper time.
