10 EASY STEPS TO BEGIN WINNING:

ONE: Always read the rules. This is my #1 entry tip because it’s the one thing people do the least. You do not want to disqualify yourself inadvertently.

TWO: Visit online websites that specialize in the hobby and have links to currently running promotions, or sign up for a newsletter subscription listing new sweepstakes and contests. Sweepstakes Sites & Aggregates

THREE: Join an online community. The real joy of this hobby is the people. You can find other contest enthusiasts in chat rooms, groups and forums, local clubs, and even conventions. They share new promotions, answers, wins, and losses. I have made real friends from this hobby, and we get together whenever we can. Meet Fellow Winners

FOUR: Use all five entry methods: in-person, call-in, mail-in, online (especially on social media), and text messaging. Doing so will maximize your odds of winning.

FIVE: Enter, Enter, Enter. The more you enter, the better your odds.

SIX: Feel like a winner! You have to think you are lucky before you are lucky. Learn how to Be Lucky.
