Humans are emotional creatures. Even in the face of great odds, we will try to achieve the unachievable. We will dream <\/em>the unbelievable.<\/p>\n The thought when someone sees a contest isn’t “Oh, I’ll never be able to win” it’s “Oh, why not. Anyone<\/em> could get lucky.” Viral email contests do this:<\/strong><\/p>\n In fact, Noah Kagan, founder of AppSumo & SumoMe used contests to add 200,000 emails to his email list.<\/strong><\/p>\n Screenshot from Noah’s AppSumo<\/p><\/div>\n Bryan Harris used giveaways to get 2,239 email subscribers<\/a> in 10 days.<\/strong><\/p>\n Screenshot from VideoFruit<\/p><\/div>\n Josh Earl used contests to add 187,991 emails in 11 days<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Screenshot from SPI, post by Josh Earl<\/p><\/div>\n And there are tons more examples out there of people successfully using viral contests to get more emails.<\/p>\n In all the examples above, they used KingSumo giveaways. That was a great tool 2 years ago, but now it’s dated and not even supported anymore.<\/p>\n Here at VYPER we saw an opportunity to come into the market and innovate on the idea of viral contests.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is how we did it:<\/p>\n And we’re constantly adding new features (new templates coming soon).<\/p>\n

\nWhen you combine contests with email lead generation, you create an amazing machine that could help you gain hundreds if not thousands of email addresses. Add in the viral sharing component via VYPER, and now you’ve got a recipe to really add more emails to your list.<\/p>\n\n
