Top 10 Mistakes People Make When Entering Online Sweepstakes And Contests

Winning sweepstakes and contests, is the best feeling in the world. From winning a cool shirt to a luxury vacation can be very exciting and after I won my first sweepstakes I though wouldn't it be nice to teach people what I know about sweepstakes so they can win also.

In life I felt as though I put 110% in and got little in return I tried so many businesses and nothing seemed to workout, money seemed to always be the problem and I quickly learned how nothing in life is free, well except sweepstakes, LOL. So I made sweeping my hobby something fun to do while cooking or watching a movie with my kids, And I remember going at sweepstakes like if they can win why can't I?

And making that decision has been the best decision I've ever made in my life. So take a trip with me in my blog, and lets win some luxury vacations, cars and home makeovers and I'll even take candy bar every now and then. But what I learned from my story was never give up, because you never know when your luck might so try things life is a party and lets enjoy it! Okay back to my regularly scheduled posts.


Separate Email For Sweepstakes


1. Make sure you get a seperate emaill address only for sweepstakes some companies send out additional deals and some might even offer you to check out their website again, so have a sweepstakes only email address so that you won't have to deal with the promotions they send out after you fill out the sweepstakes form.

Auto-Fill  Programs


2. Having an auto-fill form program will help you fill out the sweepstakes faster and more efficiently, That way you can get more sweepstakes done and win more prizes, google also has an automatic auto-fill when you use Chrome.


Read The Rules


3. Always read the offical rules in the sweepstakes, some may require you be over the age of 18 and others might need you to be over the age of 65 to apply, so no matter what I always scan through the official rules.

Social Media Sweeps


4. The best places to look for sweepstakes online would be Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and below I'm going to list a few sweepstake sites the are very good like the balance.com formally known as about.com.

Instant Win Prizes


5. Instant Win prizes are great because you get see if you win or not at that very moment no waiting around. It's also good to see if they have a daily enter limit because if not you can come back and try your luck again.

Be Patient


6. Patience is a virtue, and so is winning. Entering sweepstakes day after day can become overwhelming, and alittle boring until you see your first win, Don't get discouraged by the time it takes you to win, don't laugh but it took me a month to win a king-sized pack of M&M's but it was worth it. Everything changes once you win.

Be Positive


7. Being positive, and having a good attitude and winning go hand and hand, so never say I can't win that, Say I can win anything! stay positive because maybe one day you will.


Sweepstakes Are Free, Always


8. Never pay to play a sweepstakes, Sweepstakes are free and you should never have to pay if they ask you to pay its scam, or probably a betting site.

Enter Sweepstakes Daily


9. Try to enter the contest or sweepsakes with the most prizes that way your odds of winning goes up exponentially, you just have to trust the process, and always enter the daily if possible, everyday is a new chance to win.

Social Media Sweepstakes


10. Don't forget about social media there are plenty great contests and sweepstakes people post daily in Facebook groups, Instagram post, and even Pinterest has really good sweepstakes to enter, you can  choose from and have access to sweepstakes as soon as they come out.
