New here - fewer sweepstakes than years past?

Hi there, I just joined SA.
I used to be a heavy sweeper several years ago and used online-sweepstakes.com. I won every day. Lots of prizes.
I went to join online-sweepstakes again and realized it no longer exists, so I came here.
I'm having issues with a few things;
1. it appears that there are far fewer sweepstakes than there were several years ago. Have companies stopped doing as many sweepstakes?
1. I was testing out the search feature on SA and entered 'TV'. Nothing came up! However, when I go through sweepstakes on the site another way, TVs have popped up a few times. I tried several other searches for common goods (phones, consoles, coffee, kitchen, etc) and a few may come up, but not many.
3. I'm finding the categories are hard to find on the site. I found them a couple times through the Sweepstakes Plus site, but can't seem to find any categories on the SA site. I'm sure I'm missing something here, but it seems overly complicated?

Online-sweepstakes used to have categories clearly listed like 'electronics', 'food and beverage', 'trips', etc. I am not seeing that here.
I also noticed that it takes so much longer to read through what the actual prize is when you do find a sweepstakes to enter. It just looks like a massive block of text instead of being organized.

I'd love any advice to help me get started using the site more efficiently. I used to do thousands of sweeps a day and I'm lucky if I do a hundred now -- mostly because I can't find them on the site!

Hopefully this doesn't come across as too critical. I am sure that I'm missing a lot since the site is new to me, so it could just be user error. I am excited to learn and get back to sweeping.

Thanks in advance,

Kate
 
Hello Kate,

I too used to be a member of online-sweepstakes that was 2008.

This sight has many more options: sweeps on Facebook and Instagram listed. I also love the expire soon list.

Fairy Dust Luck to you. 😁
 
Lots of sweepstakes have moved to social media which actually increased the number of sweepstakes. We list Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube sweepstakes each day. You should have received a video to help you learn Sweepstakes Plus. Have you watched that? That would be a good first step. We are not setup like the other website that went out of business but we do have similar categories. On the main pages of both the Plus and SA sites you will find these. For example we have a Cruise category with 32 listings. https://www.sweepsadvantage.com/sweepstakes-search-Cruise.html

Sweepstakes Plus also has a Power Search option that lets you define for example, daily entry travel sweepstakes.
You can then add these to Custom My Sweepstakes in a category custom called "daily cruise".
Hope that helps. We are open to all feedback as well that will improve the website for everyone.
