Tips on Sweepstakes or Giveaways.

 

So I have been asked again How in the World do you win stuff?  I don't have a blueprint or a big manual on winning items it is just a little bit of luck though I will share a few guidelines that I follow diligently that seems to work for us.

1.  Set up an e-mail account just for sweepstakes
  • If you have to sign up for news feeds it is easier to track  and then unsubscribe
  • it is easier to find out if you won and respond back
2. Choose a giveaway with a low entry
  • Blogs with few followers
  • manufactures
    • Check their websites
  • twitter
    • there is a lot that do not enter in the giveaways here
  • pintrest
 3. Don't be afraid to try you never know what will happen

4. Let your children participate
  • I set my daughter up with a child's e-mail reason why is so it don't clutter my e-mail and when she gets older she can enter it to the sweepstakes for scholarships, essay, etc.
    •  k-mail is a free e-mail set up for kids
  • There is lots of sweepstakes out their for children from essays to coloring
