CHAPTER ONE - Introduction of Sweepstakes
So, you want to win some online sweepstakes prizes? GOOD! You came to the right place, and to the right person.
I started entering sweepstakes seriously in about 1998, even though I've won big items my whole life. I enter online sweepstakes every single day, unless I'm away on vacation (and then I really miss them).
It's a lucrative and enjoyable hobby, from finding the sweeps, entering them, and hearing that you've won, to finding the boxes of wins at your door.
There is a chapter with pictures and stories of my wins later in the book, to help keep you motivated. I'll also share stories of people who changed their "I never win anything" attitude, and soon began to win small items, and then a few more, now they are regular winners of sweepstakes prizes. And you can be too!
When I first started out, there wasn't much information about this hobby, nor was it even referred to as a hobby. The sweepstakes were also mainly entered with the method we now refer to as "snail mail" (regular postal mail). You had to spend a great deal of time on it, filling out papers and envelopes and spending money on postage. It was time-consuming, expensive (postage), and a bit annoying.
Now, most sweepstakes are entered online, for free, and with the tools I'll be sharing with you in this book, you'll be able to:
Find the legitimate sweepstakes Enter them quickly (with software that fills in the form for you) Store the daily sweeps so you can enter them often Quickly delete the sweeps once they have expired Reap the rewards/prizes that come to your door
There will be radical thoughts in this book, like "be happy when others win", and "the more you believe you'll win, you'll win" and more. Take them or leave them, but you're reading a book by someone who has used those very ideas when approaching the sweepstakes hobby, and has benefited from them greatly.
I've included information about what to do once you win a big prize, how to fill out the required proof of identity and more.
It's also vitally important to avoid scams and rip-offs that are designed to look like legitimate sweepstakes. This book discusses many of the ways to uncover and avoid these scams, as well as how to keep your computer safe.
Well, enough chit-chat, let's get started! The sooner we get this information in motion, the quicker you become one of an ever-growing group of on-line sweepstakes winners.
Fun note:
(On this day... the day I'm sending the final version of this book to my publisher... I, swear to God, just won an all-expense-paid, all-inclusive trip to Cancun, Mexico, plus luggage and a $400 mixer. The trip is worth almost $4,000. Keep the faith and let's get you winning trips too!)
