When entering sweeps and contests; sign up for their
newsletters.

to receive the newest most up to date coupons, sweepstakes and contests.
3. Every time you enter a contest you need to
type your name, address, phone number and other information about yourself. With
a form filling program, you simply click a button on your web browser toolbar
and the forms are completed for you automatically. Google includes this feature
"One-click form filler" on their free toolbar that you can download here.
Or use the
Roboform
program. Warning! Some sites automatically reject these auto
entry form fillers. Read the rules carefully.
4. Organize the sweepstakes into "daily", "weekly",
"monthly" and "one time only". The easiest way to do this is
create a new folder in your "Favorites" for each category.
5. Geographic location, number of entries, and age. Be
sure not to enter more times than allowed! You will be
Disqualified!
6. If your internet service provider gives you more than
one email address; Use one just for contests and sweeps. Not a
generic, like hotmail, etc. Use a real email address! When
creating your email address; Try all "CAPITALS" (GOLDY@planetgoldilocks.com)
or even some #'s (1234goldy@planetgoldilocks.com)
It should be a "Blind Process"; when Merchants are choosing the prize winner.
Your email may
stand out and be chosen over those more usual looking.
7. Sweepstakes limited to your own town, state or
province, will give you more chance of winning than National or
International ones. Smaller value prizes are usually less
entered and therefore easier to WIN!
8. It doesn't hurt to look around a few pages and spend some time on
their site, open their Newsletters and emails, click on some links.
Merchants track all visitors, time spent, pages viewed, etc.
9.
Merchants will ask you to refer friends and their email address to
the sweepstake, often for more entries and chances to win! So be sure to have some on hand. Again, Merchants do track all
visitors, time spent, pages viewed, and referrals.
