Tips to Winning Contests & Sweepstakes

[popcorn]

Just curious..how many contests do you guys enter? How much time do you spend each day? I haven't won nothing yet, just want to know if I should step up my game

I'd estimate that you win a good prize for every 40,000 - 50,000 entries you do. Count out how many you do a day and then multiply it out for a month. This will give you an idea of how you are doing. Smaller prizes come a more often.

Hi I'm new to the contests too. I've set up an folder called contests so whenever I enter a contest I add the link directly to my contest folder. Just the name, how often, and end of contest date. Like, Pottery Barn 1xday Dec 27. That way I can quickly go through the list of contests by clicking on the link. If there are only a certain number of entries, then after each entry, I rename the link with the amount of entries left.

it depends, it varies with each user, and there is no right or wrong answer to your question, because sometimes there may be a contest that is "daily" entry, but you only enter it once, and your name is drawn
For me, I enter as often as I can, and I have alot of spare time right now, so that means ALOT. in the past i havent entered as much, but still had winnings

I cant speak for all contest posters, but me, Ill get email newsletters from companies that have contests in them, see them on facebook/twitter, see them in the blogs I follow, or see them on other forums

I use several folders, Daily - Daily all, -Every 24 hrs, then i put the ending dates first like this 01-09- Contest name

My oldest son bought me the Contest Queens book (Carolyn Wilman) You Can't Win If You Don't Enter for Christmas. I am looking forward to reading it.
