I would like to have a contest drawing for people who complete a free trial offer. Once they sign up, each person will be entered into a draw to win an ipad.

How can I design the offer page to ensure that contest entrants did in-fact complete the sign-up? I'm sure there is a very simple and logical way to do it, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

One requirement is that the offer page has to be functional on a phone browser, since I will be sending out the link to a mobile contact list as well.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Let me tell you what happens when you incentivize anything: You DONT get good quality leads. Why? Because the person just wants your prize, not what the merchant has to offer once he calls him.

Its like me standing outside a bar offering every drunk person a free drink if he fills out my short survey. Once I sell these contact details on to my merchant, the "potential customers" he calls from that survey is utterly useless.

I would stay away from anything that is incentivized, its just not a viable business models and even if it was, the margins are so low that you wont get a big payout per lead.

Any questions just let me know,

I saw that some sites are giving points and users can convert points into prizes. But those sites are actually offering CPA offer. How can we build such a site?

Those are called GPT (Get Paid To) sites. Members join these sites and do offers to earn cash or points. In my opinion, trying to build a GPT site from the bottom up would be a monumental task. My recommendation would be to purchase the ShiftCode script and use theirs. I've used their script for 4-1/2 years now and I wouldn't run my GPT site with any other. Good tracking and fraud controls are part of the script.

A lot of advertisers and networks look down on incentive sites, and there were quite a few times when I thought incentive offers would go away forever. But........the incentive market can be very lucrative because those people would never be reached without the incentive. They would never, ever complete an offer on a website without getting something for doing it. Advertisers must be getting something in return because new incentive offers come out every single day.

Please don't thread-hijack.

I just want to give myself a competitive edge and have a stronger call to action for them to fill out the offer.

incentivizing offers is NOT allowed in 95% of all offers. No reputable lead companies do that. However, if you are selling a real product, that is allowed sometimes.. and occasionally in downloads and mobile offers.

I think the problem is that most offers are promoting junk and the advertisers want to filter out the freeloaders who have no interest in their product. If you are promoting Amazon or Coca-Cola or Best Buy, then it doesn't matter because you are confident in the business. You just want to get as many customers as possible.

I was hoping there was a simple way to capture signups for a contest, which would have the ancillary benefit of building a list.

If you want to capture signups for a contest you need to sign up with Aweber. I think about 80% of the industry would say this is best for list building.
