Quick Answer
60-second read
Building a giveaway on Woorise takes six steps: sign up free, choose a giveaway template, set your prize and bonus entry actions, customize the design, connect your email list (optional), then publish and share. Most first-time users have a working, published giveaway in under 30 minutes — no code and no website required. This guide walks through each step with the specific settings you’ll actually see.

This tutorial was last updated July 2026, walked through directly on Woorise’s current campaign builder.
What You’ll Need Before Starting
Just an email address to sign up, a prize to give away, and a rough idea of what actions you want entrants to take (follow a social account, subscribe to your email list, refer a friend). You don’t need a website — Woorise hosts the giveaway page for you.
Step 1: Create Your Free Woorise Account
Sign up at Woorise with your email address to start your 14-day free trial of the Pro plan — no credit card required. This gives you access to the full feature set (custom domain, photo voting, file uploads) during the trial, so you can decide which paid tier actually fits your needs before committing.
Step 2: Choose a Giveaway Template
From your dashboard, click “Create Campaign” and select the Giveaway campaign type. Woorise offers pre-built templates for common giveaway formats — pick the one closest to your goal (email-list growth, social-follower growth, or a general prize giveaway) to save setup time.
Step 3: Set Your Prize and Bonus Entry Actions
Enter your prize details, then add bonus entry actions — subscribe to your newsletter, follow you on Instagram, refer a friend, and similar viral mechanics. Each action can be assigned a different entry weight (e.g., a friend referral might be worth more entries than a single social follow), which you configure directly in the action settings.
Step 4: Customize the Design
Adjust colors, fonts, and images to match your brand using Woorise’s drag-and-drop editor. This is also where you’d add your prize photo and write the giveaway description entrants will see before they participate.
Step 5: Connect Your Email List (Optional, Grow Plan and Up)
If you want new entrants added directly to your email marketing tool, connect an integration or webhook under the campaign’s Integrations tab — available from the Grow plan ($34/month annual) upward. This step is optional; without it, you can still export your full entries list manually after the giveaway closes.
Step 6: Publish and Share Your Giveaway
Click “Publish” to make your giveaway live at its Woorise-hosted URL (or your own custom domain, on Pro). Share the link on social media, in email, or in your link-in-bio page — every visit and entry is tracked automatically in your campaign dashboard.
Picking a Winner
Once your giveaway closes, use Woorise’s built-in random winner picker in the campaign’s entries dashboard to select a winner fairly across your full entry pool, including weighted bonus entries. You can then contact the winner directly using the email address or social handle they entered with.
Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
- Choosing a prize with no relevance to your target audience — a generic high-value prize (like a gift card to anything) attracts entrants who only want the prize, not people interested in your brand.
- Adding too many bonus entry actions — more than 8-10 actions tends to overwhelm entrants and lower completion rates rather than boosting entries.
- Forgetting to check your entries limit — the Basic plan’s 1,000 entries/month is enough for a smaller giveaway, but a high-reach viral campaign can exceed it faster than expected; check our full Woorise review for the complete tier breakdown.
- Not setting clear giveaway rules — always state eligibility, the entry deadline, and how the winner will be selected and notified, both for entrant trust and for legal compliance in some regions.
Next Steps
Once your first giveaway is live, it’s worth knowing how Woorise compares to the other tools in this space.

Do I need a website to run a Woorise giveaway?
No — Woorise hosts your giveaway page for you at a Woorise-provided URL, which you can share directly on social media, email, or link-in-bio. You can also embed the giveaway on your own website or WordPress site if you have one, but it isn’t required.
How many bonus entry actions should I include?
Most successful giveaways use 4-8 actions covering a mix of goals — one or two for growing your email list, a couple for social follows, and one viral referral action. Too few actions limits your reach; too many can overwhelm entrants and lower completion rates.
Do I need to upgrade to Pro to run a giveaway?
Not necessarily — Woorise’s Basic plan (€20/month billed annually) includes unlimited campaigns and 1,000 entries/month, enough for a smaller giveaway. You’d need Grow or Pro specifically for integrations, removing Woorise branding, a custom domain, or higher entry volumes.
How do winners get picked on Woorise?
Woorise includes a built-in random winner picker within each campaign’s entries dashboard, which selects winners fairly from your full entry pool (including bonus entries) once your giveaway closes.
Can I connect my Woorise giveaway to my email marketing tool?
Yes, from the Grow plan upward — Woorise supports native integrations, webhooks, and Zapier, so new entrants can be added directly to your email list as they enter, rather than requiring a manual export afterward.
