Am a 1 month old new sweeper. Thanks to everyone and their posts. The tips have really made my initiation easier. Takes me about 1 and a half hours to do 150 entries daily. Is this normal?
There is no right or wrong answer to your question. Each of us has to determine how much time we can devote to this hobby and that'll determine how many sweeps we can enter.
There's also quantity vs quality. Are you going to set a floor limit (not set in concrete) and not enter sweeps unless they have an ARV of more than a certain dollar amount.
You should ask questions when you don't understand something and always read the rules until you become more familiar with the different sponsors (provides the prizes) and promoters (administers/runs the contest) . It'd also be a good idea to scan the privacy policies for awhile to determine how most sweeps handle your personal info.
Google "creative presentation" to learn about this type of sweep. Usually you'll find that statement or "unique brand presentation" in the first few paragraphs of the rules. Basically, there's only one prize for multiple sweeps. Sometimes all of the participating sweeps are disclosed in the rules and sometimes not.
Unfortunately, not all sweeps are as innocent as they appear. Watch out for those that indicate they'll call/contact you with info. Don't ever waive your do not call rights, as I guarantee you, you'll be called - probably repeatedly.
Become familiar with roboform. It's a form filler and it'll save you a lot of time. It's free if you limit the number of log-ins (passcards). > > >
RoboForm Free Password Manager - RoboForm
Be careful, Roboform doesn't always fill out a form completely or correctly - proofread!
I think most of us re-use a log-in password, otherwise we'd have thousands of passwords to remember.
There's much more and I'm sure you'll have lots of questions - don't be afraid to ask 'em.
Welcome aboard.
ps: I started typing this prior to Amy's post, but she posted before I did. Guess I need to learn to type faster.
