When launching a contest on Posted, you might wonder:

“What happens if my contest is smaller, or just starting to gain traction?”

Don’t worry — our platform is designed to encourage creator participation, no matter the size of your contest. Posted is built around competition, transparency, and incentive, which naturally drives engagement.

Creators can see a live leaderboard, showing exactly how many views each submission is getting. This transparency motivates them to compete actively — even in smaller contests — because they know where they stand and what they need to do to win.

If you want to boost the chances of high-quality participation and results, keep in mind the three key factors that make a contest successful on Posted:

1. Prize Pool Size

The more money you put up for your contest, the more appealing it becomes — especially for top-tier creators. A strong prize pool draws attention and increases submissions.

2. Prize Distribution

How you divide your prize matters. If you reward multiple winners, you create more chances to win, which encourages more creators to join.

3. Brand Clarity

Is your brand easy to understand at a glance? Creators are more likely to participate if they quickly get what your product does and how to promote it.

Keep it clear and straightforward to maximize creative participation.

Tip: Make sure to watch the tutorial videos when setting up your contest — they walk you through everything to ensure your campaign is set up for success.

At the end of the day, Posted thrives on healthy competition, supply and demand, and creator motivation. Set your contest up right, and the creators will come.
