Stupid Question

Stupid Question for you, but I've been experiencing a VERY long dry spell. Does the type of email provider matter with sweepstakes entries? I use gmail.com, does that have any effect at all?
 
:wave: mz6877 - no question is stupid!!! :laughing:


Sponsors {usually} don't tell us that the type of email provider matters, so no way to be sure. :scratch:

I know from past experience that when we go though dry spells, we start to think that we have to be doing it wrong! :crazytongue:

I've found that the more I fret about my losing streak, the longer it lasts, :cry: so I've learned to change my focus. :)

If you enter on a schedule {ie, can only enter in the am before work} try changing up the order you enter in - I usually save my IW's for "dessert" :laughing: But I'll switch it around on occasion, sometimes even taking a break in between.

If you can, try changing the time of day you enter, along with the order in which you enter - if nothing else, it provides a change of pace!

I've also discovered slacking off really helps - keeps me from burning out {Feb will mark year 6 of online sweeps for me} and I used to enter every single day {150+ just on dailies} until I took a day off and realized it wasn't the end of the world, lol!!! :laughing:

Taking the time to scan the forums to see if I can help another member before I enter my sweeps has resulted in wonderfully unexpected wins - see, timing does matter!!! :laughing:
 
Also, check the rules. I remember, in the past, some sponsors not accepting entries using certain free emails like AOL for example.
 
TY LDS - I meant to note that - that's why I put {usually} but I kept rambling on & totally forgot! :nono: :crazytongue:

I go through the forums here at SA to see if I can answer a question, post an encouragement, vote for a member. etc. - you know - get outside of my head for a bit :laughing:
 
I just think of the odds of winning- no wonder I don't win much! But it's fun to try anyway... in the words of Blondie- Dreaming is Free!
