Hey guys,
I have a question about giveaways on channels.
My situation: I recently hit a milestone in subscribers and specifically handmade a few things for a giveaway. For some dumb reason I announced that my next video was going to be a giveaway ....
Now I read up on youtube's giveaway rules (I honestly thought they were fine to do since every big you tuber I know hosts them) and I'm super confused by them. They seem to be pretty vague ... especially since the standard giveaway which is done by almost everyone (be a subscriber and tell me which item you'd like to win, give a creative response in the comments etc) seems to not be allowed.
Do you have any tips on how I can still give my prizes to a few of my subscribers? If I'm not even allowed to tell them to comment which item they would like to win... Also how am I supposed to check if they are 18 or over? Big youtubers work around it, saying: 18 or older OR permission by parent.
Any tips? maybe an alternative might be to do it on instagram ... and just do a thank you video and then say in the end "check out my instagram because I'm giving something away"? Would that be ok?
thanks!
