Secret Number One: Online-sweepstakes.com

Where does one find out about contests?
All that you need to know is this site: http://www.online-sweepstakes.com/

There are lots of sweepstakes websites, but why waste your time when I just told you the name of the best site to go to. You can look all around the internet and this is what you will find as the best site to work with. It has all sorts of catagories of sweepstakes and many ways for you to decide how and when you want to enter. It is a free website with many contests to enter. However, if you "go green": that means you pay for their premium service, you will find all the really good contests that aren't on the free pages. It will cost you $23.50 for 3 months of greenness or $30 for the year. It is well worth it if you intend to stick with this for awhile. If you are just curious, save your money. The payoff of going green can be really big if you remain enthusistic or have a goal (such as winning a trip to Hawaii- it worked for me!).

It will take a long time to figure out how you want to work this website. Read their forums if you want some ideas. I suggest starting with the "Expiring Sweepstakes" and going through the lists day by day entering the ones that interest you. You don't have to enter them all! At first the hobby will keep you quite busy but as you figure it out, you will learn it doesn't need to take a lot of time at all. I watch sports events on TV as I enter. It is easy to multi-task!

One hint: although some sweepstakes let you know instantly that you have won, many others won't let you know for months on down the line. I entered a contest in the summer (one entry) that had an end date of October 31st. I did not know that I had won a $1000 check until 6 months after the contest ended when I reveived the phone call. So stick with it. One entry in only one contest could win you a great prize. Many people enter tons of contests, however, and claim to barely win a thing. It is all about luck in the end. But you do have to enter.

By the way contests are free. Never pay to enter a contest! Those are just scams. On the other hand online-sweepstakes.com is not a scam. You are paying for the service of OLS listing the contests and for the team at the site to sort through the scams and to only list real contests! That is all that you should invest in sweepstake entering except for one little tool that is secret #2.
