All it takes for Scribd to pretty up their app and for some real positive reviews and they would have alot of new people. Right now Oyster has them on Publicity. When in the mainstream no publisher world news when a service like this is mention it's always Oyster. They call Oyster Netflix for books. Scribd needs to up their marketing but it would do no good if they app doesn't work well for tablets.

Other giveaways I've done recently have been just fine, but it's very prize dependent. The paypal, ebay and Amazon gift certs are the most popular, of course.
I don't use rafflecopter (and you'll see less of that anyway because it's moved to almost completely a pay service so people using it have to pay a fee to set up their giveaways). But I have used it. I didn't care for it's "random" choices (It kept picking the same winner and that winner was disqualified because that person hadn't done any of the requirements). So I did a spreadsheet and assigned numbers and used a random number generator.
But too many people didn't even know what SCRIBD was. On top of that I saw only a few people click through to look at SCRIBD.
Again, it could be other factors. It's January, internet traffic is down in general, and so on. But I was surprised by the low turnout.
