What is your strategy

What are most people's strategy when it comes to entering sweeps? Do you enter all the sweeps for each day? Only do the Instants?
 
I enter all sweepstakes that offer prizes I want, can use, and/or need. I enter a lot, and I enter them consistently per entry frequency.
 
My stategy is to get my name in as many times as allowed, remember past wins when I go through a dry spell, and focus on helping others.

If a sweeps/IW has prizes my guys are into, and the rules allow, they enter too. But mostly I enter the most often.

I check the rules to see if referrals give me more entries, and if yes, I refer as many as allowed.

If you need referral addys, you can post yours here:

"Tell a Friend" for sweeps [formerly "referrals"]

And then you can use the ones posted. :)

Timing DOES matter, so I try not to get into a rut, entering the same time every day - unless that time frame works and I hit during it!!!

But mostly I don't really think ahead - I enter, forget it, move on to the next one{s} and try to keep positive. :laughing:
 
Here's my normal routine. This changes some days, if I don't get up early enough, or exercise in the AM.

I enter before the kids get up--first, I go through vote requests, then enter as many instants as are on my list, and whatever dailies on my list that I can get through. If I get through all of them before they wake up, yay!

In the evening, after the kids go to bed, and after my housework and stuff is done (including exercise), I enter the rest of my dailies that I missed, and go through the new ones. On the new ones, I enter it right as I find it (especially if it's a one entry) because then I know I got my name in there and it's done! If I am short on time, I will not finish the dailies and just do new.

If I don't get to all my dailies, I will do this--use the sweep check date feature, and enter the ones that I entered longest ago (does that make sense?).

If I end up having extra time, I'll go into the 24 hour ones, or weekly ones. But I usually don't. I keep no more than 35 sweeps in my instant category and daily category, and only enter for those things I really would want. For example, though I would love a trip to anywhere in the world, if the trip is just for 2 people, I won't enter it, since I wouldn't be able to do it (babysitting issues). Trips for 4? Absolutely!

I actually really follow amyshulk's motto--enter it and forget it--and it has been OK for me so far! I don't win as much as others, but I have done just fine for my sake!

Good luck with your entries and I hope to see you post lots of wins!
 
I go to the new sweepstakes and I add the sweepstakes I want to enter. I do know that after doing this for a few years and not having much time to devote to sweeping I only enter for the bigger things I want. I pass right by the music, books, movies and pretty much anything below the value of $100. I then do my dailies and I enter the 1 entry ones as needed before they expire. If I have time I then enter the instants, usually make time for the ones that have good prizes and cash. I don't even bother with the ones with just little prizes. I then might find some extra time on the weekend where I get a chance to get to the monthly and weekly.

My strategy is I have little time so I got serious about what I really want to win. When I first started I was so charged about winning something that I wasted so much time and I got burnt out only to win some CD or DVD or T-shirt that I really did not need. Yes I dont win as much but this past year I only spent about 1 hr a day and took in $3000 in cash and visa cards.
 
what works for me I have been sweeping for a short almost 5years...if I dont get up early an do it It wont get done, so I treat it like a job when my husband leaves for work then I start an I am usually done by noon so I get everything else done,I dont have kids at home so this works for me I try to enter everything that I would love to win or for my freinds! I do keep sundays open if we have plans. I love sweeping its my job as well as a hobby...but just like a job sometime you need a break away so some month I'm gone doing our olive oil tasting at napa winerey's someone has to do it{lol}

Happy sweeping to all may you have a winning month :sunny:
 
Mmmmm...olive oil tastings. Sounds nice. I forgot to mention that unless I get caught up in the forums, I spend less than 2 hours per day total doing sweeps. Most days, just one hour or less. And I don't have Roboform. I type it in. Helps with my coordination, I figure? But I have read many many things on here that say people could not live without it and it's free.

All I can say is that I'm shocked! No Roboform? I've been using it since 1999 when it came out, and I would never win as much without it! Someone needs to come over there and smack you around! :crazytongue:

Roboform also has a paid version that is far better than the free version. :headbang:
 
I swept for months w/o Roboform, but once I got & figured it out I wouldn't ever want to be w/o it. I can enter hundreds of sweeps in just a couple hours. I used to try and do all my sweeps around the same time but now I spread them out throughout the day. When I couldn't get on SA last week I could still enter all my sweeps!
 
I can't use roboform. I have an Apple. Is 1password worth the $? I use firefox; it fills it in & works so-so. Can someone compare 1password to firefox fill in? Is 1password better? Thanks! :sunny:

Never had a MAC so I can't compare them, but maybe another member can?
 
I for sure enter all of the instants that I can and then skip around to other sweeps. I prefer 1x only sweeps but, I enter all types of sweeps. It really depends on how much time I have to enter.
 
i start on dailies, one time entry for the day the monthlys on the 15th and the weeklys every wednesday
i'm new to this. about my 40 day so far i havent been keeping up with instant wins right now cause the computer on the frits and i cant run my flash player right now :(
i've only won a leapfrog gaming system my first 45 minutes ever sweeping.(always on sweepsadvantage)
but i figure most sweeps havent ended
i tend to stay away from anything thats trying to sell me a magazine subscriptions.
and i'm always done by 10:00 no matter what that for me is when 12:00pm his the first time zone in the US
on sundays is our big family day but i cut and paste my own recipes out of my personal stash of txt documents
into anything that i search with the word recipe


o and i cross my fingers when its worth more than $500.00!


anyone have any suggestions i havent thought of please tell me.
