How many days a week do you enter sweeps

I feel like my life is now sweeping. I enter daily, one a day, monthly and IW's everyday. It is a lot but I am not working. Does everyone also enter everyday? I was wondering if I cut down if that would affect the odds of me winning. Or if I should cut down in one area only but still enter everyday.
 
:sunny: As long as I am home and not on vacation, I am entering. I have been doing this for years. I don't have any children at home or any family living close by so it's a hobby. I never do them all at once. I do some in the morning, some in the afternoon after work and then whatever is left in the evening. I never concern myself with what how often others may be entering. The main thing is that if there is a prize you want you have to put in at least one entry to even have a chance of winning. Just do whatever you feel comfortable doing and with what fits into your life. Best of luck to you!
 
I enter as often as I can, some days more than others, just depends on my spare time. But the more you enter, the better your odds. But also it only takes 1 entry to win if you are lucky.
 
I enter 1/2 my sweeps at night, after 9pm west coast time and the other 1/2 the next morning. That way I pick up the new sweeps posted daily and don't spend so much time on them. I usually try to enter all of them every day (250+), sometimes skip Sundays. I only enter those contests that have a prize I want, and enter some in most every type except for blogs, books, twitter and pinterest. What ever you do enjoy it and don't let it become overwhelming or work. GL
 
In a month with 30 days I probably enter on at least 28 of them. Even on the other 2 days I try to do anything that expires that day before I have to go do whatever it is I have to do. Probably the only time I don't enter anything is if I am not home at all ... which doesn't happen very often.
 
i prob do about 200 a day. i only do daily and one entry. like some others, i do half in the morning and half at night. I only enter for the prizes i want, or i want to win for my kids. i started entering for trips lately, i think because its getting cold :laughing:

You need to hedge against burnout - I did what you describe for at least 2 years, but it wasn't until I slacked off, took at least 1 day off a week, and narrowed the sweeps I entered from "Out of 20 prizes, I'd like 5 or 6" to "Out of 20 prizes, I need to like at least half" that i finally hit a biggie.
 
Agree with all the advice posted. Do whatever is comfortable for you and as long as you enjoy it, whether that be 30 minutes/day or 6 hours/day. I started sweeping back in July and sort of went nuts at first, spending 7-9 hours/day and it started to get out of control. Probably didn't help that I had a pretty good streak in July, so that sort of fueled the fire, but I got to the point I wasn't enjoying it anymore and the streak cooled off. Now, I sometimes go a whole day or two and won't enter a thing, sometimes spend an hour and sometimes 4 hours. Really depends on my mood and how much spare time I have. I found that it really helps to not get caught up in sweeping; if you miss a day, no big deal. Just try to keep some consistency and get a few in each day if possible. Yes, you will win more if you enter more, but I would rather have a few enjoyable wins, that a lot of wins where I felt like it had become a job.
 
Personally, I do all my daily entries and IW's in the morning with my breakfast before work...kinda like a ritual. I do my FB sweeps when I get home from work. I type really quick, but it usually takes me about 2 hours of pounding away to get them all entered. It's creating a horrible check-my-email-on-my-phone addiction.....I can't wait to see a good win come across my email!! :hiding:
