Have you ever wondered if people really won at sweepstakes and contests? Have you tried to enter as much as you can, but still have not yet won? Don’t give up just yet!

Winning at sweepstakes is actually quite common among sweep enthusiasts, if you have the right mindset and strategy. Yes, you do need a plan! The first thing is getting used to the terminology used, and some basic rules. There is a big difference between a sweepstakes and a contest. A sweepstakes is when a company holds a prize drawing with absolutely no strings attached. They do not require commitments or purchases. They are merely introducing a new product, company or maybe a new media, (such as movies & music). You may run into a website that offers various non related prizes every week, or month. It may not be their own products, but they would like you to see what they have to offer. Their sole purpose is for you to get to know them better.

A contest is a little different. They too, are offering a prize so that you will come and visit them, and see what they are all about. They may want to spice some things up and get you a little more involved with their company before you enter to win. They want to attract people to their contest that has a genuine interest in their product. They may ask you to send them a recipe or a photo. They may have a trivia game for you to play. Some contests have you find different things on their website. All are meant for fun, and for them to introduce themselves to you.
Sometimes though, you may run into a contest that has you pay to enter. I strongly urge you not to pay to enter a contest. To me, it is a large red flag when I see contests that you need to pay to win! Please, don’t waste your money! Raffles for charity causes are my only exception. I believe that if we have a charity that we consider to be important, than by all means please support them! If you win a prize of some sort, than it can be a little sunshine to your day!

So, what if you have entered in a few sweepstakes or contests and have never won? I have the answer to that!

The answer is in Part 2
