What platforms and venues should I consider for finding giveaway partners?

Instagram is one of the best places to start and to execute campaigns—it’s the best social network for selling art and easy for accounts to give you a mention. Facebook groups are great—find them, join, and message the moderators. YouTube channels have high subscriber counts and YouTube is an incredible search engine. Twitter (X) is excellent, especially for sports or celebrity-driven art. Podcasts are valuable—use ListenNotes.com to search for shows by topic and find experts who appear on multiple shows. Email newsletters exist around every topic and giveaways work exceptionally well there because they’re always looking for engaging content. Reddit has subreddits on everything—join them and message the moderators. Don’t limit yourself to one venue—any platform where communities gather can work.
