If you're an avid Instagram user, you've seen giveaway posts and probably wondered, "Is this a scam? Should I enter? Is it worth it?"

Well, I entered one and won a $300 gift card to poppyandroseclothing.com and it was extremely worth my time to tag hundreds of people for that.

So, if you see a giveaway and it seems legit, go for it! Here's why...

Honestly, you have a better chance of winning than you think.

I know it doesn't seem like it, but when you scroll past those giveaways, other people do too. So it is worth it to tag a couple of people and see if the raffle goes in your favor.

What do you have to lose?

We all want that perfect Instagram, but if tagging a repost on your story for an extra 5 entries is really going to damage your reputation, it's not. Calm down, sweetie.

The people you are tagging understand. 

Listen, I have been tagged in multiple of these giveaways and the most it makes me think is, "Wait, should I enter?" It is worth it to try and see if you can win, and the people you are tagging won't bat an eye. If they do, tell them to enter.

Do you know how many giveaways happen in a given week? Some of this stuff is good. 

I won $300 worth of clothes during Christmas. I just saved $300 and am getting a lot of new outfits with it. This is definitely something to consider. Save money. Tag a friend.

The feeling of winning is better than a 9 oz. filet mignon 

It is. Trust me, I found out how worth it these giveaways are. Tag someone, what do you have to lose?

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
