I know good things come to those who wait, just wondering about the wait? I am very new. Been sweeping for about two months and can't seem to win a used box of Kleenex! Lolol. I never miss a day, I start in the morning and check for new postings on many sites. I sign up for everything. I stay on top of emails sorting and deleting. so just wondering. Any ideas?
 
It will happen before you know it! Patience is key here. Remember, many of the sweeps you are entering today, will not end for some time. Even after the day the sweeps ends, the promoters take their sweet time to notify winners. The best advice, enter and forget it. Keep on entering. Soon, you will receive a winning notfication. Good luck!
 
Just my ideas and thoughts. I think a lot of us may be "trying too hard". I think it may make you look like a "sweeper" which for some reason most sponsors dislike.

I've decided to NOT enter Daily sweeps EVERY day. I won't tag more than 2 or 3 people on FB or IG unless it's required. It's just looks so desperate and draws attention to you even though that it what they asked for.

I don't like sharing giveaways on my "Story" because while that particular sponsor may like it, a hundred other sponsors can also see that you share a lot of giveaways and decide you are sweeper. Some people have said they have even seen it in official rules that sweepers were not welcome, Stupid of them. I do share on Stories occasionally for something I want but I keep cutting back from it.

Something others have suggested is posting personal stuff to your Stories and Feeds even if it is your "Sweeps" account. Things like pets and plants or thoughts or whatever you are comfortable with. I need to do that a lot more, unfortunately.

I'm starting to skip some of them with a huge number of entries. Also those ones with 50 different ways they want you to enter. At some point you feel used by sponsors.

I've been doing this about a month now and actually started to win a few more smaller things. I'm happier about spending less time on the hobby too. A lower profile may be a better way.

I remember a woman back in the old mail-in days and she won a lot and won big prizes. Her advice was always "Keep your entries low and have a good time." I also remember my Dad at the races saying "You can't win with scared money." I amend that to "You can't win with fevered entering"
