Social Contests as Low-Cost Customer Acquisition

This course reframes customer acquisition: instead of pouring money into ads, run contests that people actually want to enter. Contests are entertainment, not hard sells. The course teaches five specific contest blueprints—Weekly Prospector, Product Launch, Pre-Selling Via Voting, Big Ticket, and Video-Based—each tailored to a different business scenario.

The practical output: a planning template and companion booklet walk you through designing a contest from scratch. Rather than chasing expensive Facebook Ad budgets, this approach costs minimal ad spend if any, relying on the appeal of winning. The course is designed for online sellers testing alternatives to paid acquisition—a particularly useful playbook for brands without large marketing budgets.

About this course

About This Course: The foundational idea of this marketing strategy is simple. People love a good contest. When you enter for a chance to win an exciting prize, it activates your mind in an interesting - hope filled - way. Instead of worrying about whether you can afford something, you dream of owning it.

This course is designed to give you a good solid introduction to the idea of running social contests in support of your online selling efforts.

Why Consider Running Contests As A Marketing Strategy? One of the biggest expenses an online marketer has to manage is - the cost of customer acquisition. It can be very challenging, even for veteran marketers, and for newbies, it's a steep learning curve. You can spend all your money trying to find prospects - and fail.

Contests are fun. They are not a hard sell. They are not smarmy, slick, or used-car-salesman-esque. They make people happy. Contests are entertaining. They are simple. And most importantly, they are effective if done correctly.

Better Than Wasting Money On Facebook Advertising? Many gurus will push you to try Facebook Ads, why? Because they (can) work if you have a (large) marketing budget. Do you? Don't worry, if you don't, you're not alone. Even though I personally spend between $20,000 and $30,000 a month in online advertising, that's not what I'd recommend for someone just starting out. I'd encourage you to find ultra-inexpensive acquisition strategies. Contests fall into that category! So, run a few and see if they provide a lower-cost customer acquisition method than online ads.

What You Get In This Course: We've designed this course to provide specific "Blueprints" for various types of contests.
