7,106The 5 Best Sites for Mom Bloggers to List & Promote Giveaways *
Clearly, I enjoy reviewing products that are relevant for my family and my audience, and I also love when companies allow me the pleasure of hosting giveaways! When I first started hosting product giveaways on my blog, I really had no clue where to begin my promotion. If people don’t know you are giving away a product, no matter how amazing it is, they won’t be able to enter to win! Most of us are looking for more traffic, and certainly the client you are partnering with for your contest is hoping to gain exposure through your review and giveaway post as well.
Following are my top 5 recommendations for mom bloggers looking for great sites to list their giveaways. If you have any helpful sites that you would like to recommend to others, please leave links in the comments!
1. Online Sweeptakes
Without a doubt, I receive the most traffic to my giveaways from Online-Sweepstakes.com. Simply register with an account at Online Sweepstakes and you can begin submitting your sweeps to their extensive directory of contests. Submission is quick and easy; this is the first site I visit after posting a giveaway to my blog!
2. Prizey
Prizey.net is another fantastic directory for mom bloggers to post their giveaways. I think they say it best, “PRIZEY’s purpose is to connect brands and products with the people who matter to a company – niche audiences of creative consumers who share common life experiences and broadcast them, and the products they love, through social media.” Prizey membership is free, but they do offer a variety of paid promotion services for those who may be interested. Again, I receive a good amount of traffic from Prizey!
3. MomBloggersClub
I love MomBloggersClub. Love, love, love it. If you are a mom blogger and NOT a member of this site, I suggest you run, not walk, and join! Aside from being an active community where mom bloggers can share information, it is also a great place to list your giveaways. Simply sign up and then join the giveaway-related groups (there are many) where you can post links to your current contests. It’s a great way to find giveaways to enter, too!
4. Blog Giveaways
What inconspicuous little blog! I have no idea how I stumbled upon Blog Giveaways, but I am so glad that I did. I actually receive a surprising amount of exposure from this blog, and listing your giveaway is simple, just send an email with the details of the contest to Maria, the blog’s owner. I actually keep a canned response in Gmail just for Blog Giveaways, and submitting to this site is ALWAYS on my list when a new giveaway goes live. Maria also offers paid featured listings–something I am considering trying soon!
5. Tip Junkie
I just recently found this site, (I know, I’m living under a rock, right?), and have really loved the results that I have seen so far in my stats. Promoting your giveaway in the Tip Junkie Giveaway Directory is free and easy. I also love the clean look and feel of the listing page. I have actually been inspired to enter a few giveaways from other mom bloggers who have listed on this site!
I hope you find some benefit in these suggestions, and again, please feel free to share the sites where you promote your giveaways!

thank you for this post! My first give-a-way had only two people enter, although I tried very hard to promote it! This time my current give-a-way I feel more confident it will be more successful due to these sites! thank you for this post!
I really like Prizey. That's one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing Crissy.
Thanks for sharing these. There were a few I didn't know about! =)
Deal seeking mom has a giveaway gathering and forums that you can post giveaways on. I think money saving mom has a giveaway listing too.

Thanks for the great sites I'll have to check these out next time I have a giveaway
This is listed on my great posts of the week. Here is the link: http://www.jdaniel4smom.com/2010/08/great-posts-i…
Oh thank you! I do have a question for you: I just registered to Online Sweepstakes after I saw your post. When came the time to add my giveaways, I saw that most of them were already there! How can that be?!
Great post! Do you get a lot of traffic from any other communities?
Thanks Crissy, This is the first time submitting my giveaway to sites like these, so I’ll see where the traffic comes from…if any ;-)
Well, in just a few hours, we’re getting a ton of traffic, thanks.
1. Online Sweepstakes
2. Mombloggers club
3. (Not listed) Twittermoms Contest page. http://www.twittermoms.com/
Your making my 10 yo girl blogger very happy. This was her review & giveaway: http://americanmuslimmom.com/jumpstart-wii-game-moving-family-fitness-review
This post (and all your others) are SO helpful to me as a new blogger! You mentioned in another post that you might never be on anyone’s top blogger list – Crissy you are so on mine! I love your site and writing style and this information you’re so freely sharing is priceless! Thanks a million!
Thx for the list, Some I knew but tip junkie I have heard of but never used.

I’m totally addicted to this page..haha I’m too lazy just to write down the five sites! I figure give you a hit and get my work done.
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I am very glad to see such wonderful info being shared freely out there.
Thank you for posting this, Crissy! I can imagine how helpful it must be to bloggers to actually hear results from others who have run giveaways as to how effective the blog directories actually are.
I just wanted to mention my new site as another suggestion for promoting blog giveaways. It’s called Giveaway Promote and you can find us at: http://www.giveawaypromote.com/
Giveaway Promote is 100% free and doesn’t require a registration. Each unique blog giveaway gets it’s own giveaway listing with image, comments, social networking links, customizable tags and more. All approved giveaways are be posted on the website within 24 hours and at the same time are also sent to our Twitter followers.
We’re just getting started (launched this week). I am hoping that next time you review your top sites to promote your giveaways on, we’ll be up there at the top! =)
Hi Crissy! I just started to read your blog (*I’m* the one living under a rock! lol) after my husband pointed it out to me. Anyway, first I wanted to say that I *LOVE* your blog. But I also wanted to point out that your links for Tip Junkie don’t work. At least for me they didn’t and I tried them a few different ways. Just wanted you to know. Still love the site!
Off to read some more!
