Yet again, why are there so little people interacting with my contests

## Interactions?
Why are there so little interactions with my Steem Contests?
Are they too difficult, is the price to win too low?


![Low interactions](https://wegiveloans.com/images/gauge_verylow.png "Low interactions")


* why don't people want to participate, it's ** FREE!**
If the contests are too difficult I understand, but the last one was quite simple I think, [so go check that out](https://steemit.com/contest/@milank/steem-contest-5 "so go check that out") and give it a shot and an upvote...

*  the price too low?
** Then get other people to see and upvote for it!**
Resteem so other people can give it a shot and can at least upvote. 
You also earn 0.005 SBD with every resteem. (within the 24 hours that is)

* Is the jackpot too little?
Keep in mind that the more people go for the jackpot the higher it will get, ** the jackpot will grow with 0.009 steem with every participant** that will join for the jackpot, so encourage other people to go for the jackpot!

So what I'm trying to say is keep motivated, try to get as many people to see my contests as possible and give me some upvotes.
All Steem from this post will go to the jackpot and all SBD will go to the payout of the winner of [Steem contest 5](https://steemit.com/contest/@milank/steem-contest-5 "Steem contest 5") (if the 2$ threshold has been made.

Resteem upvote and follow for more and more contests.
Upvote to get a bigger win in my contest.
And just check it out and give it a shot!!

First I have seen it. I will follow and possibly play. Oh ya and as an anarchist I see nothing wrong with voluntarily participating in any game or gamble.

Mostly because people here are in the anarchist / libertarian bent.

These types do not play the lottery.
Lotteries are taxes on stupid people.

And, further, you are an unknown, so we on the outside cannot tell if there really is a lottery, or if we are sending our coins down a black hole.

From a marketing perspective, you are giving out no entertainment.  There is no feedback about "you could have won", there seems to be only the black hole that you put your money into.  There isn't graphics about how many played last time and how much was paid.

All in all, it just appears rather scammy.

Thank you for your feedback, if I understand you right I have to change the following aspects;
* The transparency, I have to show who won and what they won.
* What you could have won.
* Show more about a number of participants and so on.

Am I right?

That is half of it.
The other half is making it look exciting.  You are selling a possible dream.
You have to make that dream seem real to the audience you are engaging.

So, if you take the normal sales pitch given lotteries, it will turn off most of the people here.
You will need to work out how this audience finds appealing for future winnings.
