Man, that was really nice, on both counts... to the subscribers as well as the number picker! As far as announcements beforehand, I say don't do it. You will just get a fake bump in subscribers that only care about winning a contest. I have a buddy who did a hand made knife video at maybe 10,000 subs and he promoted it all over social media, and he just mentioned on his latest live that he won't ever do that again, since the guy who won had literally never posted a single comment and had only ran across the giveaway notice on Instagram the day before, so he commented that yes, he would like to win a hand made knife. He won the contest the next day and after taking delivery, he un-subscribed and never made any other contact with Justin's channel again. He's getting close to 20K so he was brainstorming what to do when he hits 20. He is a cool, downhome country boy from Neshoba County, MS. His channel is Spirit of The Outdoors on YT. I don't know any of his other social media since I don't do all that. But check him out if you like country living and you love Jesus :)
When that channel i was talking about mentioned that it made a lot of sense. It's one of those it was HARD for me not to say anything about it on other social media platforms but I was able. Like i said it was for people like yourself that I wanted to do the giveaway for. If I do one on other social media platforms then i'll limit it to those. That is unfortaetnly what happened but I can see that being a big thing with people. Even if I was to run across it I would try not to enter because I do want it to be for their views. I'll be sure to check him out and you know I do love Jesus!!!
Somehow I’d overlooked this video until now. What a nice thing to do for you viewers and particularly for the family who helped you choose your winner. You’re a good man Carson.
Thanks man... I wanted to do a giveaway but I wanted to make it have my own unique spin on it that was different than everyone else. Thanks for watching
Kudos to you and a in a very generous way! I think you just made that girls day.... almost my day! At first, I thought she said 13. Any How Congratulations to @MonkeyButRides ... Rubber down, Faith up!!
Your so right. You could tell from their reaction. Kind of the reason I waited till after the first announcement so they wouldn't be expecting it to get that blind reaction. Thanks for watching!!
This is my way of doing stuff like this is the unknown just doing it. Normally sometimes like this I wouldn't post on social media but since it was related I somewhat had to!
Well done… would have been better if she’d picked my number 😂. You are going to crush some subscribers numbers next year. Man I wish I had some of your skills. I look forward your next video. Ol Slick Slick Adventures
Very cool idea Carson!! Unannounced giveaway! Perfect I tell ya!!!
I think so as well and add some random person into the mix I liked just as much

Hahah I saw your title and was like heyyyyyyyyyy, lol. Thanks for the shoutout and I still love this concept, I love that you ran with it
Cool deal man. Mostly your idea but with my spin.
That was very nice of ya !
Thank you. You can tell she was shock for sure!!
That’s awesome! Not many people out there like you, Carson! I am glad I can call you a friend!
Thanks Jason... I had the idea for a few months to do something and give back to those that helped me get here.
This is the best way to do a give away!!!!
Thank you sir. I give a ton of credit to ben for giving me the idea when i seen his.

Awesome. Very thoughtful of you to give her a participation prize
Thanks man. It was an idea I had for a little while now to not only give something away but to include the one helping me do the giveaway!
Very cool way to handle the giveaway. That was a very kind thing to do for the lady who picked the number. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄
Thank you Eric. Merry Christmas to you and the Ms and happy new year!
That's awesome dude!
Thank you josh.
They looked so damn happy! Wicked cool of you man!
Thanks Ben. Hope you didn't mind borrowing your idea with my little spin.
Congratulations on 100K. You got there because of the great quality of your videos. Keep them coming. Ride Safe!
Thank you. I'm going to keep em coming for sure.
Dude, "100K" as you said, is 100 thousand dollars! I doubt this was the actual winning amount.
Very cool, and awesome that you also gave the young lady who picked, something.
Thanks man!
That was a good one. You made her day as well. 🤘🏾🤙🏽
You can definitely tell she wasn't expecting that! Thanks for watching!
That’s good stuff Carson! RAK!
Thanks man!!
Great idea waiting til after Christmas people really need the money then ❤
I think I gave both a good after Christmas present for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@theadventurousrider Noticed
Two Random Acts of Kindness "RAK" in one video... Epic.
It was pretty cool way of doing a drawing.
Thanks Paul. Best of doing things.
That was a great idea for the contest, congrats again.
This is my way of doing stuff like this is the unknown just doing it. Normally sometimes like this I wouldn't post on social media but since it was related I somewhat had to!
Dude, that's awesome! What a great way to do giveaways!
Thanks John. Seems people are really enjoying this way.
@@theadventurousrider Yeah, and those bystanders were like, "wait, $100? wow!" - which was double awesome!

No, that's a cool way of doing it. I wish you would have picked number five, ha ha ha ha. Just joking
LOL... Hey i understand completely. Thanks for watching!
You sneaky son of a…
Haha.. 😜😜
Cool idea! …how long did it take you to get to 1000 subscribers? I’m at 293 and hoping to make more videos and get to 1000 some day. ❤
It took me just over 2.5 years to get there. Just keep at it and don't get discouraged.
