Wait! Are you making mistakes that could be affecting your chances of winning sweepstakes?
If you’re not seeing too many wins, it could be because you’re making one (or more) of these common mistakes.
1. Missing email notifications
Seems pretty impossible to make such a mistake, right? But, you’d be surprised at just how many people forget to check their emails, thereby missing a win notification. To ensure this does not happen to you, we recommend you add all the sweepstakes sites to your email contact list and mark emails from them as “important,” so you’ll never miss any sweepstakes-related emails accidentally.
2. Not reading the rules
The average person visits so many different sites on the internet, that it has become almost second nature to just check the box to agree you’ve read the rules, without actually going through them. But, sweepstakes are different! To increase your chances of winning, it’s important that you read the rules. Some sweepstakes may need you to be of a certain age to enter, while others will need you to reside in a particular area. Unless you meet these eligibility requirements and adhere to other rules, your entry may not be considered.
3. Not following the rules
This is, perhaps, one of the worst mistakes that people make with sweepstakes. Some people read the rules but decide to flout them anyway! Keep in mind that your entry could be disqualified if you don’t follow the rules, so don’t just read the rules, make sure to also follow them.
4. Giving up too soon
This happens all too often - people start entering a certain sweepstakes giveaway and then they give up after a few weeks because they get tired of submitting entries. And, soon after, they find out that someone else has won the prize. With sweepstakes, patience can pay off big time! We know you want to win sweepstakes prizes fast, but you need to give it enough time.
