Do you wish you could get cool new stuff for free, legally? Well, you’ve got to try participating in sweepstakes. There are sweepstakes, these days, that offer pretty much everything, from cash prizes to T-shirts to exotic vacations. Yes, it’s true! And we’ve got some awesome strategies that will help you win more sweeps. Read on!
1. Follow the instructions: It seems very obvious, yet so many entrants don’t do it. And that’s exactly why so many people are unsuccessful at sweepstakes. Sweepstakes guidelines can vary significantly, but common rules include limitations on the number of entries, entry deadlines, restrictions on who can enter, geographical restrictions, etc. Even if you enter and win a sweepstake that you are not actually eligible to enter, you will be disqualified by the sponsor.
2. Focus on online sweeps: More and more companies, today, offer online sweepstakes that are cheaper and easier for people to enter. So, focus your efforts on online sweeps. But that does not mean you need to ignore mail-in sweeps either. Mail-in sweeps typically receive fewer entries because they are not as easy as online sweeps to enter, so if you come across a mail-in sweepstake that you find really interesting, it’s a good idea to participate in it.
3. Join online sweepstakes communities: Sweepstakes is a fun hobby, but it is even more fun when you submit entries with a group of people who also find it enjoyable! Joining a sweepstakes group will help you and other members exchange tips, advice, information about new sweepstakes and, most importantly, motivate each other to keep going.
4. Create a new email account for sweeps: Don’t start submitting entries using your personal email account. Not only will your inbox get cluttered, but you’ll also end up missing important win notifications. So, create a separate email account for sweepstakes entries and make sure to also check your spam folder for emails from sponsors.
