Scrub your email. Dust your entries. Wash those giveaways.

Spring is a great time to refresh and reorganize your hobby so you can win more in less time.

EMAIL

Every once in a while, it’s a good idea to unsubscribe from all those newsletters. Many sweepstakes give you bonus entries for subscribing to the sponsor’s newsletter, but over time, you could be getting hundreds of emails each day. To avoid being overwhelmed, unsubscribe from 5-10 or even 15-20 per day, and before you know it, your inbox is manageable again.

ENTRIES

You wouldn’t wash the floor with a kitchen sponge, so why enter forms manually? My tool of choice is RoboForm, but whether you use RoboForm or your browser’s Auto-Complete to fill out your entries, check the data to ensure it is correct. If you choose to use Auto-Complete, double-check all the profiles in your browser settings for any errors and remove any duplicate addresses.

GIVEAWAYS

Sometimes, when someone starts entering sweepstakes as a hobby, they enter everything and anything. As there are more sweepstakes than anyone could enter in one day, the key is to only enter for what you really want to win. I find the busier I get with my business, teaching others how to win and managing sweepstakes, the pickier I am getting, entering far less than I ever have. Therefore, for me, my wins are further apart, but I am happier with the prizes as I am so selective.

Do you ever ‘clean’ your hobby?
