Most people avoid entering sweepstakes because they feel like they'll never win anything. Since sweeps have long odds, many people feel like they've never been lucky.
However, when it comes to sweepstakes, luck is only the smallest and least important part of winning prizes. To consistently win sweepstakes, you need the Three P's of Sweeping- Perseverance, Patience, and a Positive Attitude.
Perseverance
The first important thing that people need, in order to win sweeps, is perseverance. You need the perseverance to keep up your enthusiasm when you’re going through a dry spell, and to enter a good number of sweeps when you feel like you’ll never win. But, this doesn't mean that you should spend every moment of the day entering sweeps. Instead, you must set an achievable amount of time, every day, even if it's only half an hour. The fewer sweeps you enter, the longer you’ll have to wait for a prize. By sticking to your sweepstakes strategy and persevering through the dry spells, you’ll increase your chances of winning amazing prizes.
Patience
Entering sweepstakes can be a frustrating hobby for the impatient. Even if you’re lucky enough to win a prize on your very first day, it’ll usually take a while for you to be notified of your win. This is because the sweep's entry period has to end, the entries must be verified, your name must be drawn, and lastly, the sponsor has to get in touch to notify you about your win. Each of these steps may take weeks or even months. That's why patience is an extremely important part of winning sweepstakes. If you don't have the patience to wait for wins, sweepstakes entries won't be fun and you won't stick around long enough to win prizes.
Positive Attitude
Having a positive attitude towards entering sweepstakes can make being patient and persevering through hard times a lot easier. If you’d like to work on having a positive attitude, try having a little fun with sweeps by creating a scrapbook, decorating your sweeping area with lucky charms, or writing your own winning mantra.
