The PostPop community runs a competition every month, and it has one simple rule: an entry is a finished post. Not an idea for a post, and not a description of one. Something you actually made, that members can look at and vote for.
Why a real post
An idea is easy to like and tells you very little. A finished post shows whether the idea survives contact with a headline, a layout and a phone screen. That is the part most of us find hard, and it is the part other small business owners can actually help with. Making the post is also useful in itself: even if you do not win, you have a post you can use.
How it works
- Make a post in PostPop, with one of our templates, one of the ready designs, or your own HTML.
- Pick it on the Community page. You get one entry, and you can change it until the competition ends.
- Members vote. You cannot vote for your own entry.
- The entry with the most votes when the competition ends wins the prize shown on the page, and the post is featured on our site with a link to the business behind it.
Changing to a different post starts its votes again, so it pays to enter the one you believe in. We decide a tie, and the rules cover the rest in plain words.
Who it is for
Small businesses who make their own posts, and would rather make them with other people than alone. You do not need to be a designer: PostPop writes and designs the post from your brand, and you can change anything you like.
How to take part
New members join by invitation. Press Ask for an invitation on the community page, tell us a little about your business, and we will email you if we invite you. There is a step-by-step guide to entering too, and if you are not sure what makes a post work, start with these six checks.
