I have been at it for over 2 months and haven't won anything..Still trying though..
I have been entering for about a month now as well. Each day i come here and enter all the new contests that interest me, and re-enter all the ones i can as well. What i have noticed is I am finally getting a steady group of contests expiring each day, after a month of doing it. I don't think realistically i could have expected to win anything seriously, until i started to get more and more contests to expire, especially the ones i have entered numerous times. I will continue doing what i am doing and hopefully in the next month or so i will have a nice win, or two if i am lucky :laughing:

Welcome to the club! I have been at it for 2 months too. Entering daily and have yet to win anything. Thought about giving up. Makes me wonder if it's my age. Maybe they don't like middle aged women!
:wave: perfectpeach - did you check out the threads I linked above?
It took me 6 months to win, I'm 50 now, and I won a BIGGIE at the beginning of 2010 {$10,000 GP} - I started sweeping online in Feb 2004 so it took 6 YEARS!!!
So I not only post, I truly believe in:
The Sweeper's Credo:
Enter and forget it.
Always be happy for those who win - even when they win "your" prize - and be positive you will win.
Sweeping is a hobby that is all about timing. Especially for those elusive instants! IF you enter at the exact right moment, you will win.
If not? Sad to say you won't. But I assure you - it's nothing personal, and those who win a lot don't have any "secrets" - they are just consistent, persistent, and patient.
I really believe that if you go into it thinking you can't win, well, you'll MAKE yourself right so often you'll start believing it!!!
I truly do believe you have to have a positive attitude - don't get hung up on what others are doing - just focus on entering, then move on to something else - like posting so we can get to know you!!!
So hang in there - and enter, enter, enter - and you'll be posting a win before you know it!!! And remember - every day brings new opportunities to win!!!
