Sweeps Newbie needs help

Hi everyone,
I am totally new to sweeps and also
to sweepsadvantage and forum.
I have a few questions, so if you can
help, please do.... :crazytongue:

#1) When winning, most sweeps
require the winner to sign a
affidavit and have it signed by a notary public. I live in a small town of less than 5,000
people and we do NOT have a notary
here in town, the closest one is an hour away.

How do I go about this issue, and still play/win
sweeps? What would you do?

#2) I just started playing sweeps in Beginning of
August, and just for the "dailies" I have over 100 contests
to fill out. It takes me anywhere from an hour to 2 hours every day, just for these, then I need to do the one time, weekly,
monthly seasonal etc contests.
This is taking up a HUGE portion of my day. (5 hours or so...)
Seems I dont have time to clean house, or cook,
or even breathe with all these contests. :scratch:
My question is: What am I doing wrong?
How come it takes so long to do these contests?
I use Roboform to fill out the sweeps and its still taking
up too much time.
Is there a free program or something I can use to
fill out sweeps faster? Is there a trick or something to filling them out, so it doesnt consume my day?
How much time do you all spend filling out sweeps daily?
I use Firefox and use more than one tab to speed things up,
but Its still taking forever.
HEEELLLPPPPPP
( I have dialup, and I make sure I have no other programs running, and I delete internet cookies and files etc, to speed things up too.)
Is putting the contests in my bookmarks making it too slow??

Each day I add more contests, and yet the time keeps expanding. I feel like a sweeps vampire lol.

Please share your secrets, or I will be chained to this computer forever arrrrggghhhh

Feel free to post here or email me here at sweeps,
my username for email is lornnslady.
Thanks all, happy winnings!
 
#1 usually a notary is only required on big wins #2 the problem with sweeps services is in a lot of sweeps they do not allow for auto entry, best to keep the sweeps you want to enter to around 100 and if time permits do a few more.

Affidavits: Have you checked your Library for a notary? Or the bank? Maybe ask on your church bulletin? It's possible there is one in your area, but unless there is high demand, they don't advertise since they can't make a living from it.

I've had to get affys notarized for small prizes too - unfortunately, unless someone posts about it, you won't know in advance.

As far as time, the longer you do this, the faster it will go, but with dial-up, you need to be VERY selective on which ones to enter.

Pay attention when you are entering to see if you have any resource hogs - sweeps that are very resource intensive. The La Quinta, Hebrew National, Sharp & SOBE are all like that and will lag not only their window, but others too. I have all of those in their own folder, (except for the La Quinta - I dumped that PITA!!!) and enter/open them after I'm done with all my other daily/IW's - and I have the fastest cable service from cox!!!

You say you are using Firefox, and utilizing bookmarks to open files in tabs - how many sweeps do you have in each? I think 24 is the upper limit, but with dial-up, you need to keep that number much lower. Maybe around ten or so?

Weed out those sweeps where there are multiple prize levels, but you are only interested in 1 or 2 of the prize levels, remember that it only takes 1 entry to win, even on a daily/unlimited sweeps, and pare down your have to enter daily list - only enter them 1x, or 1x per week perhaps?

This hobby should be fun, not stressfull!!! You will burnout quickly if you try to do too much!

As in all things, prioritize - enter and forget it, and keep in mind that it really is all a matter of timing, and entering a ton will NOT ensure a win.

In fact, entering too many could actually hinder your ability to enter at the right time (no, no idea when that is :laughing: ) I just know that when I have a slump, weeding out my sweeps usually helps - both my stress level, and in ending that darn slump!!!

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask in this forum - remember this - you are probably not the only one to benefit from what answers we can provide :sunny:
