You didn't think there were just a few tips on entering contests did you? Of course not! There are so many tips and strategies on entering contests and we have them all right here! One good tip is not to give up too easily. It takes patience when entering contests. When you finally get a win, even if it's not big, it gives you inspiration to keep on entering and pretty soon you'll be getting even more wins. And keep in mind that many contests last for months and even when they end, it takes weeks to get the results. So you might just not be hearing anything because the contests you have entered are still active.
The best advice I can give is to get an email address that you only use for contests. Once you start entering contests, you will also start getting a lot of emails that you did not sign up for. These emails can be so frustrating, but another bit of advice would be to make sure you go through them one at the time to make sure you are not missing that winning notification. I have read so many stories where a member has almost deleted a winning email because it didn't look like they thought it should. I check the address that I use for contests daily so that I won't get overloaded with so much junk and it will be easier to spot that email I've been waiting for.
When entering contests, make sure you read the rules thoroughly. At least the very first time you enter a contest anyway. Make sure you enter contests correctly or you could possibly be wasting your time and forfeiting your prize. If the rules say enter only one time per person, per email, per household, then it wouldn't be in your best interest to enter yourself and turn around and enter your dog in that particular contest. More than likely, entering contests more than once if they say one time only will void your first entry as well as any other entry you submit. Look at all the time you've wasted! Contests have rules and they expect you to follow them.
