but i checked the FAQ and it says

If a giveaway is invite only, or for a whitelist or Steam group, it will only add value towards your level if it receives 5 or more entries. This is in place to prevent small groups of friends from attempting to cheat the contributor system, and to encourage users to expand the reach of their giveaways. The whitelist feature offers an easy way to target a larger audience, and you can combine it with small Steam groups to receive a greater number of giveaway entries if needed.

so that shouldnt affect me since its a public giveaway

Because they have less than 5 entries.

What are levels, and how can I increase my level?

Limiting a giveaway to 0.55% of the population, or 1.02% of the known countries, or an actually undetectable percentage of the site user base is a very interesting definition of "public".
