Wall Art Win

I received a beautiful silver and red wall sculpture in the mail the other day. It will go nicely in my living room I plan to do in deep red. I haven't taken it out of the box, but I do have pic of it. I also received my $50 gift card from Kraft. I decided to splurge on myself a little. I plan to get a manicure and pedicure. And I still should have enough left over to get a Starbuck's Strawberries and Creme and a book from Barnes and nobles.

The end of the month is near and tons of sweeps expire as always. I really need a big win. A cash prize would do me quite nicely. Or even something expensive to sell. That would really help out right now, with my move. I hope to be reporting a good win soon.

Wins are wins

I won a few small things since my last post. One thing was a $10 gift card for a great site called Spotwinner.com You watch commercials on the site of varying topics and products. For everyone you watch, you receive 10 points. When you reach 5000 points you can exchange them for a $5 giftcard. The more points the higher the giftcard value.

You can also win by being picked instantly whild watching the commercial clips. Which is how I won. And if thats not enough, they also give away daily, weekly and montly prizes via drawings. The prizes are great like video games, video cameras, dvd players and ipods. I haven't won a large prize yet, but I have hope. It's easy and quick to enter, so I try to visit daily.

If you sign up it would be great if you used me (bdsweetie-Shania) as a referral.

Freebies!

I don't have any wins to report, but the next best thing to a win is a freebie. You usually fill out a similar form with your name and address and all that jazz. A few weeks later you get a little gift in the mail. It's usually a trial size, but free is free. I like the little cereal boxes the best. Here a couple of freebies to start you on your quest to free-dom. I find that Walmart offers quite a few freebies. It would be to your advantage to check back with them often.

End of the Month

This month is almost over and done. In the sweeping world that is a good thing. Hundreds of contests end at the end of the month. Everyone tries to get their last entries end because the cut off time in hopes of winning a prize. Any prize. Of course you just keep plugging away, entering your dailies and whatnot. But the chance of winning is always greatest after a boatload of contests end. I lose 100-200 usually. I can't say I miss having to enter them day in and day out, but there's always just as many to take their place. Just as a great many end at the end of the month. A large number begin at the beginning of the month, the next day. So you start the cycle back over. Trying to increase the number of sweepstakes you've entered. It's a numbers game. The more you enter, the more likely you are to win. I usually win something for every 200-300 sweepstakes I enter. Sometimes more or less. The only thing that is for certain is you have to be in it to win it. I love that motto!

Introduction

One of my favorite and most lucrative hobbies is sweepstaking. Or contesting, as some people like to call it. This simply means I enter sweepstakes and contests. I enter exclusively online and I've won a treasure trove of prizes. Even though that mega grand prize still eludes me, it is a fun hobby. Not only that, but it's cheap, easy and very rewarding. It does require a bit of committment and a lot of patience. Join me as I show you the ins and outs of the hobby, what's up for grab, how to win and what to expect. Lets get sweeping!
