I am a fan of giveaways for generating some interest and leads to grow my audience and there are a few out there that do a good job. BUT They are either focussed on getting entrants to share or interact with socials to boost entries which is very self serving not audience serving, or They cost per competition, and I am wanting to reduce my subscription costs and only pay for something that is bringing me real value. So I made one. It took me all up about 20 hours to draft, reitterate, test and redraft it in ClaudeCode to get it to where i feel it is right. And I am really happy with it!! 𝗦𝗢 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗜𝗧 𝗗𝗢? - Full custom entry forms. Collect exactly the details you want. - Personal referral links. Every entrant gets their own shareable link automatically after entry - Milestone bonuses. Extra rewards unlock for everyone once entries hit set targets whether they win a prize or not. This is the secret sauce to generate more referral shares. - Major Prize + unlimited Additional Prizes, each with photos and its own winner count - Live, on-brand entry page for every competition. Publish as a post or use short code to embed in a dedicated page. - Prebuild template for FAQ / Rules of entry that is customaisable in the back end. - Built-in spam protection and one-entry-per-email validation - Spoiler-safe Draw Winner screen with a suspense animation. (I built this in so I can record or live stream the draw and keep entrants personal data safe - it has a dedicated page in the backend of the site) - Automatic milestone emails sent from your own business name and address (pulled from promoter details page and sent via internal wordpress email system if you have it set up) - CSV export with full control over which columns to include (You can add as many fields you wnat and export as many as you want later) - Pre-filled, editable Rules & FAQ that auto-fills with each competition's real details - Your own logo and brand colors, or the built-in gold theme - Connects to Zapier, Make, ottoKit, Pabbly Connect, or GoHighLevel to send new entrants straight into your CRM or ESP - Fully whitelisted. Use your own branding - no 'powered by' or 'made by' branding to remove.

Please join me in welcoming @Amber Sennet to the community. Amber is a photographer who like all of us is a self professed 'Haver of too many ideas' We are a pretty quiet group from day to day Amber but please say hi and ask anything and everything!!!! So pleased to have you here.

I have found a solution. Now although I talk about this in terms of artists, it is fully customizable. If you're not an artist and you are looking for an affordable CRM that does everything, then this could absolutely be the thing for you. Join the founding 50 here: www.gigsorter.com There are 50 founder spots available. (though I do reserve the right to extend that number :) If you think this is worth it - let me know and tell your friends. The plan is to Launch it in a couple of weeks.

Hey team! I have been head down for a couple of weeks now, just loaded up with gigs and work, and so I've been very quiet in here. Sorry about that. I have been on the hunt for a long time for a CRM that can do everything that I need. I want to manage contacts and companies. I want to manage deal flow and gigs. I want to manage emailing all of my contacts like a mailchimp or mailerlite, I want automated workflows so that once somebody is confirmed that they're getting a job, there are automated emails that send a month out from the job, a week out from the job, a day out from the job. I want the ability to have a customer portal where I can upload documents that they need once and not have to send them to them time and time again and I wanted to try adn get this into one platform. I found a few - but they are CRAZY EXPENSIVE. Until now. I think I have found a solution. I won't reveal it now because I actually want to know if you use any of these sorts of software. CRM, Email privider - what do yo uuse? and what features would you like to have that yoru current one does not provide?

Curious to know if anyone out there is using AI tools at the moment and if so what are you using ??
