Enter To Win Contests: Tips To Increase Your Odds

By Trevor Johnson

Enter to win contests can be a lot of fun. Some people only enter one here and there. Others practically make it a full time job. But either way, you can increase your odds of winning the ones you do enter.

If you are going to enter several contests, you want to get a bit serious about it. Getting yourself better organized can be a big help. Get a notebook, or use a computer spreadsheet, and keep track of the contests that you enter.

Each contest has its own specific rules of entering: who is eligible, how to enter, and the number of times you can enter. Also, the way you are notified and how you claim your prize can be different from one contest to another. So, it is best to keep notes on the contests that you enter and the applicable rules.

You will want to increase your odds by entering each one several times. Make a schedule for yourself of when you need to go back to which website. Some contests have limited entry, such as to your specific region, and this will help your odds. Also, contests that offer more than one prize are optimal as this increases your chances of winning.

There are form filler tools that you can use for the information you need on every entry. They will enable you to just click your mouse once instead of retyping on every form. This makes it far faster and simpler to get your multiple entries in.

Look for legitimate contests and learn how to recognize the ones that are scams. Never enter any credit card information on a contest entry form. There are plenty of contests out there from real companies that you do not have to take a chance on something that seems questionable.

If you have lots of downtime, you can literally spend hours on enter to win contests. But even if you do not have that much time, you can still make it a fun hobby. And you never know what you might win until you try.
