One of the questions I am asked most frequently is how to run a contest on Facebook without breaking their promotional guidelines and without having to spend money using an application like promotions.

In this weeks videocast I show you how to add a simple form to your blog to collect competition entries using Google Docs. If you don’t have a website or blog you can also send people directly to your Google Docs form to collect entries.  It’s simple and free so give it a go.

Other easy to use forms ae JotForm and FormStack these both cost but are incredibly easy to use and have more integrated embed options.

If you do set up a competition using this method let us know about it by leaving a comment below.  Also let us know if you get stuck trying to put it together, I’d be happy to help you.
