You searched for a how-to. Here's the shortcut.
Running a hashtag contest or comment-to-enter giveaway usually means juggling screenshots, sorting through comments by hand, and hoping you pick a winner fairly. ShortStack replaces all of that with one tool built specifically for social media promotions.
Pick a winner in minutes, not hours
Import comments straight from your Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube posts into ShortStack. Use the built-in random picker to choose a winner instantly — fair, fast, and screenshot-free.
- Import comments from Facebook, Instagram & YouTube
- Random winner selection
- Filter and moderate entries before you pick
Just need to draw a winner from one post? Review our Comment to Win Picker here.
Hashtag contests, organized automatically
Stop scrolling through hashtags manually. ShortStack pulls every hashtagged post into one place, so you can filter, moderate, and pick winners without opening five different apps. Showcase entries in a branded gallery, with optional voting.
- Automatic hashtag post collection
- Built-in moderation tools
- User-generated content galleries with voting
Turn comments into leads, not just likes
Add an entry form to your contest to collect emails while you're at it. Reward people with bonus entries for commenting, following, or sharing — so your giveaway grows your list, not just your like count.
- Bonus entries for engagement actions
- Email collection built right in
- Turns one-time entrants into repeat followers
Works with the platforms you're already posting on
