Thank you,

dannwo - did you read these threads:

Our Admin, Ken, has been listening to our suggestions for awhile now, and is, as I noted in the thread I linked above, "an admin that quickly responds to site problems and takes seriously your ideas to improve the site and implements those ideas in a timely fashion"

So, not only will you have access to all the tools {SweepsCheck, Personal Sweepstakes Notes, SweepsPop, Remind Me, etc,} that SA offers, with Sweepstakes Plus you will also have an advanced directory with added sweepstakes tools and resources not found on SA!

Such as a newly constructed My Sweepstakes - where YOU create your own custom My Sweepstakes Category and then add any sweepstakes you choose to that custom list! {THE tool for the serious sweeper!!!}

Also, Sweepstakes Plus has both Twitter and Facebook categories, to complement the Blog. DVD, and CD categories that were previously added!

This question has been asked & answered in these threads too:

No banner ads, more tools, same {except for SA sponsored} sweeps, and you help keep SA online!

cjhcjh - everything we do in life is a trade off so I think of it this way; time = $$$.

If you do have the time to devote to what the tools can provide, but you'd rather "spend" your time doing other things, then PLUS is a bargain!

If you don't have the time? As arrtup3 notes, you just can't beat 8 cents a day!

So by joining PLUS, not only does it keep SA's "doors" open, the more people who go PLUS, the better the tools can get! Our admin doesn't buy them, he creates them, so the possibilities are endless!!!

Quick analogy;

It's like canning your own food vs. buying it in the store. While canning can be cheaper {if you grow your own already/have the supplies} it's much less time consuming & convenient to buy pre-canned.

Or, the time/energy involved in creating a meal; shopping for the ingredients, then putting them all together vs. going out to eat which is also much less time consuming & convenient.

People don't think twice about these trade-offs of paying a higher premium because their time is much more important than their money and/or it is a more efficient use of both.

But I guess as sweepers, we have the "free lunch" syndrome, and get annoyed when anything is required from us in return for the shot at free prizes - I hear a lot of complaints when a sponsor asks for anything more than basic info to fulfill.

I keep in mind that when a sponsor chooses to use their advertising money on a promotion {sweepstakes, contest, etc.} that they are looking for new customers and/or trying to keep the ones they have, so anything they ask of me past that info, like sharing, referrals, subscribe to their newsletter, etc. is the "price" for that "free lunch" and I decide my comfort level.

So for SA vs. SP - SP is an inexpensive convenience that allows me to customize my sweeps the way *I* think they should be - priceless, IMHO!

So any sweeps that awards prizes *during* the promo instead of at the end {or draw at the end from daily entries for specific prizes on specific entry dates} are IW's, so I create my own categories & put them in;

DP/WP/MP {Daily Prize/Weekly Prize/Monthly Prize} And I treat them like they are IW's, since most of them award prizes daily!

If this matters to your friend{s}, let them know that the majority of DP/WP/MP types are run thru FB/Twitter, and only PLUS members can even save FB/Twitter sweeps!
