How do you get the word out about giveaways?

Hey guys, just curious on how people get their word out about giveaways? The usual tweeting about it usually doesn't get much word out for me. I also added my giveaway on the meme hosted by Lori from Pure Imagination and Candace's Book Blog, Saturday Situation, but it hasn't been getting any attention. Is there a better way to get the word out?

My current giveaway is an e-book of Bloodlines by Lindsay Anne Kendal if anyone is interested, please go to this link: Livin' Life Through Books.

Thanks!

hi Felicia, great advice here, hope you're seeing an improved response! I found Goodreads attracted the most attention, but also you might want to think about setting a dead line so people get in quick - you can also tweet about this, creating a sense of urgency. For example, HeyTara is giving away two free copies of my Ripple in Time at the end of this month, & I've been tweeting reminding people they've only a few days left for a chance to be entered into a free draw.

Make it clear this is a special offer, and they'd better be quick to be one of the chosen ones:)

I review children's books at Kristi's Book Nook and spread the word via FB, Twitter, Book Blogs, and the MommyBloggers Club. My followers Tweet my links and so on. You may also want to participate in blog hops.
