Hi!

I'm Jen and I really new around here. I just started entering sweepstakes regularly in the last 2 months or so. Since I've started winning a few things the more motivated I've become to enter more sweepstakes! (And to remember to enter my favorite 'daily' sweepstakes. I'm a huge fan of the Shop Your Way sweepstakes so I always try and get those entries in even if I have to use my smartphone LOL) I got into doing sweepstakes after I spent the last year taking survey's online to make extra cash. I did really well there but I became bored of taking the same survey's over and over it felt like and needed a change of pace as well as something that would be quicker to do than a 20 minute survey. So a little about me I'm 43 and live in Northern California with my 24 year old son, mother, brother and brother in law. It's a full house but it's a lot of fun too. I love to entertain and have friends over at least once a week for a pot luck or get together (that usually ends up at a pot luck LOL) I enjoy crafts although my eye sight isn't the greatest anymore. I love to color 'fuzzy posters' I'd much rather do an adult coloring book but with my eyes it is easier to stay in the line with the fuzzy posters! LOL SO now on with what I have won so far:

$50 in points Sweepstakes from Shop Your Way (Plus about another $50 in odd and ends points here and there)
1 Pack Ball Park Angus Hot Dogs
$50 From Citi
1 Adult Coloring Book
1 Blue Tooth Speaker from Marlboro sweepstakes
1 Zippo Lighter from Marloboro
$25 Amazon Card from a Free Kindle Site


I don't think that is too bad for my first 8 weeks. My big dreams are I need a tablet or a laptop badly. I also need a new desktop just as bad as mine is on it's last legs. My favorite thing I like to win is Amazon gift cards. All that being said does anyone have any advice for a new 'sweepstaker'? Are there ways to find better sweepstakes with better odds? Or are there sites that have sweepstakes that are tailored to certain things? Such as electronics? I found one that does nothing but crafts and another that does nothing but cooking related items.

So that's me in a nut shell!!

Nice to meet you!! Awesome first wins,too!! Many more to come..just keep at it.There will be dry periods but they do go away!! Welcome!! look forward to hearing of more wins!!
 
Thank you very much! It's a lot of fun! When the coloring book showed up I had a email from UPS the night before telling me I had a package coming. I had no idea what it was! Was sort of like Christmas! The best part is my brother in law loves to color too and his birthday is tomorrow so it'll make a great gift!
 
Hi Kim it's really nice to 'meet' you! I'm new to forums too so if I get too 'talky' just tell me! LOL I agree about the surprise wins!! And it's great too because I can 'share' my win by giving my brother in my law the coloring book for his birthday! Everything I'm giving him for his birthday I have won ! I bought a $10 game expansion for a game we love on Amazon (with the $25 Amazon card I won), a T-shirt that says "Straight Outta Bed" from Kmart with the points I won and then the coloring book! It's great!!!
 
Thank so very much! It's very fun that's for sure! I'm hoping to make new 'sweeper' friends on here! Do you have any tips or tricks to pass on to a newbie?
 
Nice to meet you! Welcome and congrats on your wins, hoping you get what you want and need!!
 
Thank you very much! I've found a lot of sweepstakes for Tablets so I'm hopeful! If not I keep saving up my Amazon card wins!
 
Congrats and welcome!! Make sure you have a list for your daily's and keep on having fun. You can send me a note with your facebook and twitter if you want more friends. I don't have many either.
