Been researching and looking into running a few contests or sweepstakes to get some attention and signups for my startup. Ideally I would want to run it across multiple social media channels, have a nice hosted launch page w/ good SEO, and make the legal, management, and selection of winners easy as possible.

I have come across a few platforms that help with this, such as : http://www.wildfireapp.com/, http://onekontest.com/, and http://www.strutta.com/

I'm just basically looking for any insights into running sweepstakes to generate signups/visibility and the best way to do it with minimal effort. Thanks!

You should check out rafflecopter.com. You can host a giveaway using their product and incentivize users by giving points for tweeting/signing up/some other action. It works great and is totally free.

Looks easy and awesome, almost exactly what I was looking for - Thanks!
