Twitter has been used in many ways as an excellent platform for marketing and promotion. Twitter contests emerged to be one of the simplest and most efficient means for companies and brands to promote their products. They are usually entered with a simple tweet, one that gives the participants a chance to win a prize. Tweets serve as a viral element for the contest holder to promote his/her services; the better the prize offered, the better chance for the promoter’s message to reach more people.
Last month we compiled a list of 15 running Twitter contests which caught the attention of many people, it motivated us to repeat the list and schedule it as a monthly post. Below are the most recent Twitter contests running for November:

In last month’s list, we were late in compilation and ended up publishing the post at the end of the month, which left little time for our readers to participate in the contests listed. As for this month, we decided to compile the list earlier – and we did – yet there are many contests that end in just a week or two (not all the contest wait till the end of the month to draw the winners), so you guys still need to hurry up!
If you know any other interesting contests that are taking place, please let us and others know in the comments section. We wish you all the luck in the listed contests above. Let us know if you get lucky and win…
