I personally use...

Internet Explorer 9
High Speed Internet
Robo Form, - Auto Fill Option
Windows 7 Laptop
Sweepstakes Plus
- Mysweepstakes Options: Set to 10 " So no lag while loading multiple tabs"
Login to Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, & otheir social networks.. ' Easy for one click like's or share's on certain sweeps '

I always start my day doing the ' Instant Wins ' once I knock them out, I always goto ' Expiring Sweepstakes ' & knock the one's out that are gone today.. I noticed 10% will sometimes be expired by the time I get to em.. might be smart to go a day forward & not just todays.. After I knock out those 2 sections I ushually browse around to find random sweeps that interest me..

Most of all I Rinse & Repeat daily... & Check every email that goes to my email account ' Not just browse Subjects ' & make sure your information is 100% correct before entering any contest.. ' Autofill isn't perfect ' :)

I think we could learn alot from one another :)

Not sure why this post didn't get put into ' General Sweepstakes Talk '
There are still a few quirks that they are working on with the upgrade, but I was able to move it for you.

Looks like you have a good strategy. Mine is similar except after doing this for so many years, I no longer need do expiring soon. I do my instants and 24 hours after 9pm PST before going to bed and the rest of my categories I do throughout the day.
 
I start by going to New Sweepstakes.I enter all the one entry I like.
Then I place the other sweeps into their folders if I want to enter them as many times as allowed or into my WIHT (When I Have Time) folder if I want to enter them but maybe not every day.

then enter
instant win
Daily
Facebook
Books in that order with WIHT last if still have time and still in mood when finishing the others. I do tried to enter the WITH at least twice a week.

If I have not had a win in a week I change the order I enter the folders in.

The whole folders & categories making your own does that really help?? Or does that offer you a way to go back & keep entering sweepstakes that allows you to re-enter daily??
 
That is one of my favorite things about Sweeps Plus. I can make the categories that I want. On the days that I don't have alot of time, I can enter for the prizes based on my categories that I most want to win.
 
I started sweeping on another site, that doesn't have all the options and ways to sort/store sweeps that SA does - I kept hearing about it, so I am slowly migrating over here to the party! I love the interaction and helpfulness of this site - its not like that on other sites.

Anyway - I have been doing Instant Wins early, win I first wake up (maybe I'll change this, not having much IW luck lately), then later I 'll do all my new one entries, and daily entries. Usually at night or on the weekends I have started doing pinterest and twitter more- the prizes aren't as big, but there are some that i really want to win, so I enter - low entries usually - just takes longer to enter/pin/post you link etc. I usually do expiring soon for pinterest and twitter and just work on one week out. I also scroll my FB page throughout the day for any random contests that i miss or like/share contests, i actually won a few things that way.

I'm sure there's a better strategy that what I am doing, and a better way to organize all this, but in my brain it makes sense - for whatever that's worth!
 
This is becoming a full time job for me and I already have a job (part time) ...sooooo

I wake up EARLY well before sunrise, belt out the IW's (using Ourinstantwin.com) - then I do the Expiring Ones on SA (go thru all its categories which takes me about 1.5- 2 hours)
After thats all done then I start on the day's new ones- I keep an Excel spreadsheet and list them by expiration date- Thats what I like about Sweepsadvantage, how easy it is to see them by day and by category- If the day permits, I try to belt out all the regular Daily ones by dinner time but if thats not possible (work) then I will do them AND the Facebook entries after dinner- I also am signed up with Sweepstakes Ninja so I usually run that by 6pm- 7pm

What's really a killer for me is when the end of the month falls on a Saturday because not only do I have to find time to get my monthly entries in, but also my weekly ones LOL

It really is an exhausting hobby but i've been blessed to keep winning nice things as well as things that I have been able to sell on eBay

still waiting for that BIG MONEY win though lol
 
I do between 800-1000 sweeps a day. I alway start with SA. that is why I became a plus member. It is so easy enter when you are organized. I start with the new ons, than I do my she knows, that it hit my hearst ones which are all mostly dailys, than I do my SA dailys, FB daily, celebrity cafe, and so one I start my day about 5:00am I mget about 2 hour s end before I get my grandchild up and ready for school than after he leaves I am free the rest of the day for my hobby.
 
I use Auto Fill via the Google toolbar. (doesn't always fill)

Windows 7 (on a slow virused laptop that I also use for school haha)

At the moment I have about 50 sweeps that I do everyday (instants and dailys) saved in my favorites folder. After that I usually do whatever I feel like. I often go to the expiring soon sweeps, or just do random dailys. I'm fond of facebooks as well. I'm not a sweepsplus member so I don't do one entries so much because I can't remember if I did them or not.
