#learntowin #howtowin #sweepstakes
I win often and my strategy is to apply to absolutely everything that my family or i could use, not wasting time on the blogs that want 1000 likes/follows for a small prize, and never setting my heart on a specific prize. If you focus on a specific prize, youll just be disappointed when you most likely dont win. That way it's just a nice surprise when i do win 😊 I see too many getting frustrated because they got too focused on one prize they didn't win. Remember, there will always be more sweeps to enter, with even better prizes so dont lose hope!
I follow that strategy. I only enter for what I want. Saves heaps of time.
I discovered recently it also has to do with my Human Design. Helene Hadsell was a Specific Generator, and I am a general. That's why she could pick a prize and win it. I need to be more general and focus on the feeling/experience of similar.
Started sweeps about 2 months ago, have won about $75 worth of gift cards and Wendy's, Dunkin, AMC popcorn, fun when a you won screens appears!
From where ?
@@ag6287 some of then are scams like "you was the 1000 serach"
Must be nice when you win. I keep trying but NO luck.
@Bulets yeah ok I will believe it when I see it.
I just wish something would give
It's about manifesting. Visualization. As well as KNOWING and speaking it into the universe too. The MOST important thing though is to meditate and visualize yourself winning. THAT is the hardest part.
Lol most don’t do that and still win lol
The video is about not reading the rules. Even if you a perfect manifestor, and do not read the rules, you will not win. It's like visualising winning the lottery and not buying a ticket. It won't work. The Universe rewards action.
@@Contestqueen 👍
@@Contestqueen Uhh..I guess I just assumed they were entering. Hmmm...
Let's not forget about God's hand in this as well. If people don't have good intentions...they will not receive. Period.
That’s why I try to avoid giveaways where you have to like/share/tag a friend. I’ve never won one of those and I’ve never talked to anyone who has PLUS it’s completely at the contest holder’s (contest runner’s?) discretion who wins. Meaning if they don’t like how you look in your profile picture, they can avoid picking you. If you try to get around that issue by not having a profile picture, they might think you’re a bot and avoid you for that reason. I like giveaways where I put in my info and there’s a very clear-cut “SUBMIT” or “ENTER” button at the bottom and then you get a nice “Thanks for entering” message at the end. No sweat.
Each person has a strategy they like to use to win. I know some people that win frequently in tagging giveaways. You have to feel lucky to win so stick to what works for you.
I try to win the radio station contests especially News 1130. No dice yet, but I keep trying.
= YES... ALWAYS READ THE RULES... SOMETIMES THERE'S A RULE THAT KNOCKS ALOT OF FOLKS OUT OF THE CONTEST. WICH IS A BETTER CHANCE TO WIN FOR THOSE OF US THAT DO "RAED THE RULES"
I love you’re channel and vibe Carolyn thanks for sharing tips. 🥰
I just want to win a car, or money to buy a car so I can get to my cancer treatments without always taking a taxi 🚖 It gets to be expensive and I'm on a fixed income 😭
you could probably raise a gofundme or something like that, i hope you beat the cancer!!!
@@dxctorbomb I had a friend that helped me put a go fund me for the large bills, which has now been turned over to collections, but she put only my picture on GFM and not hers asking for her friend, (me), and all I got was $250. It looked like just me asking for money. Then I gave the info to Go Fund Me so they could send it to me and they never did! So I just gave up.😢 Thank you so much for your get well wishes, that was sweet of you🤗
@@leewomack3498 I did some for my mother in law recently when her husband died. Didnt get much but it went right to my bank account whatever account she put on it is where it should have went? That makes me sad. I hope you are going to kick cancer's ass!
@@alyssalandry5056 Thank you, I'm trying to kick it. I'm going to try Go Fund Me again, I I've got my neighbor stopping by later to help me. God bless ✝️
@@dxctorbomb I've got a "go fund me" but nobody has donated anything after a month that I know of.😢
I won twice in the beginning. I won a brand new truck plus cash, and the second item was a coffee mug. That amount of success right away seemed like a fluke. It was after this I began to take it seriously. I organized my sweeps by entry frequency, date ending, and read the rules to make sure I didn’t disqualify myself. I set aside time in the morning, then again in evening when the wife and I were watching TV to enter. For an entire year I did this religiously and the only thing I won was a coupon for a free Twix bar. It got disheartening. I must be doing something wrong, but have no clue what that is.
Do you subscribe to IWINCONTESTS? Tom specializes in best odds sweepstakes. He also has a Sweeper University starting up again this fall (he takes the summer off). You may benefit from a class or two. My guess is you are entering sweepstakes with low odds and therefore lost in the masses.
How disheartening😞
So I don't apply for sweepstakes right away?
ok miss smartypants why can't i seem to win taco bell's tellthebell contests? I read all the fine print... probably because i have a better chance of run over by a drunk driver than win 500 bucks. really what are odds i'll be win from my dinky little town? odds are better in new york and even then i still couldn't win (way more people).
@@GladDestronger You clearly aren't interested in winning. If you were, you would realize those that win frequently enter, a lot. I mean 1-2 hours per day, and win about 1-2% of what they enter. I do not know why the Taco Bell contests won't let you enter. What do the rules say? Are you even eligible to enter? And yes, I know many from dinky little towns that win. It has nothing to do with your location and everything to do with effort and odds.
I AM SPEAKING IT INTO THE UNIVERSE TO WIN 250, 000 DOLLARS...
Good vibes so you win your $250,000 🎉🎉🎁🎁🎊🎊🎈🎈🎉🎉
Just buy doge coin during the bear market . Duhgg
Hello. There was a sweepstakes someone entered that had a grand prize “drawing”. You could enter by buying merchandise or mai-in envelopes. When the drawing came around, the contest owner had nothing but those people that purchased merchandise on strips of paper. There were absolutely no mail-ins that were in the vessel to be drawn from. There were thousands of entries. What are the odds that not a single mail-in entry made it into the drawing?
That giveaway should have been reported to the FTC as it wasn't run legally.
@@Contestqueen Thank you so much for your response. It was disappointing to them that they’d placed so much effort. I saw the contestants videos of their mail-ins and they were perfect according to the rules. They even had a video of handing the entries to the worker at the USPS the day before they had to be postmarked.
@mentalimbalance6808 I believe you can still report them and include evidence such a the official rules, video links to entrants, and the results.
@@Contestqueen I truly appreciate you taking the time to respond. Reviewing it deeper, there is certainly a case for both Entry Dignity/Equal dignity and although contestants could enter via AMOE in the Official Rules, he was significantly promoting in videos that the only way to enter was by purchasing merchandise omitting AMOE, which certainly confused contestants. That is similar to what PCH lost $18 million for.
@mentalimbalance6808 You will have to make a judgment call as to whether or not you want to proceed with a report to the FTC based upon your evidence.
Some contest rules are vague. They say the contest is open worldwide but say void where prohibited 😐Since Florida is a stickler with contests, I avoid those type. Also, one contest by a well known company was giving away a trip to England and didn't even mention where the contest was valid.
If it says open to 48 or all states, FL is included. Void where prohibited means Canadians cannot enter, for example. Poorly written rules are a whole separate problem. I recommend reaching out to the sponsor for clarification. I ha e seen rules fixed after the fact to be clearer.
The only way is to place a link throughout posts across all platforms. It's a quick way digitally to cross reference and to enter or participate. Some sponsors don't even place their own links to twitter, instagram, facebook etc...
I have a question that I am always concerned about. Can a husband and wife enter a sweepstakes from the same computer. Different email addresses. Different accounts. I can never find anything on this. TYSM
Yes. I do it all the time 😁
@@Contestqueen ty!!
I used to hit a lot in the early 2000s. I've only won a drink coupon on an instant win since 2009. It's too easy to enter and everybody has internet now.
The hobby has definitely changed. The key is best odds giveaways. Do you follow Tom of iWinContests?
Pch is so fake just like the lottery
That explains everything is false advertisement. I hate scammers.
What do you mean? Companies spend billions running legitimate giveaways each year. Since I started entering, I have won over $350,000 in prizes, including 24 trips. The problem is that entrants are not reading the rules properly and getting themselves disqualified.
What about the Sweepstakes Audit Bureau (SAB)?
@@RolanJohnson_SoCal That is a scam. I teach people how to avoid those. I have an entire chapter in my books dedicated to keeping yourself safe while winning.
I just noticed she’s a maple leafs fans
My boyfriend had a lot of memorabilia when I moved in. I didn't want a mancave for a living room so we moved it all to the home office :)
And please explain to me why does the same contest keep sending me letters and they're sending me like prize winnings on different entry numbers
That sounds like the Publishers Clearing House and that is the contest with the worst odds in the world. I would throw those mailers away.
I participated in many giveaways , they say they generally use random generator which chooses the entry, so this depends on luck right ? So how could we win such 🤷🏻♂️.
Its all luck nthin about reading rules as i complete every entry they provide.
Been two months applying for giveaways, feels like unluckiest
This year it has been harder to win for many. Do not let that discourage you. Enter with a positive attitue and you will win.
I will win the Nissan Sweeptakes and get a brand new SUV!
How do I fine a sweepstakes have no idea how to set up
Go to my website, click on 5 Steps to Begin Winning to get started, Good Luck!!
NPN no purchase necessary
And those are found in the rules most people don't read ...
I’m so happy you’re Canadian!!! It’s so hard finding amazing things in Canada!
It really isn't you must be blind
@@HenryHoolington no its because america is always better and will always be you maple syrup drinker 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
NPN is No Purchase Necessary or Required.
Volume is too low. I checked and my computer volume is fine with other channels.
I bought a new mic and soon a new computer. Videos will ony keep getting better.
Is the Entry Rules the For Bigger SweepSTAKES???
The should be. Rules are rules.
Why does my entry number keep changing? And I'm being praised for all the times I've responded to all the letters and their keep sending me you know encouragement to keep on believing I'm going to win but I have a feeling you're right I don't follow the rules what exactly are the rules can you run them down so I don't have to read that small print please
Which contest are you trying to enter? Publishers Clearinghouse?
Great advice with odds and rule reading 👍🏻. I think manifesting is a load of bullshlt but to each their own
And we need all opinions and thought process in the world or this place would be very boring.
@@Contestqueen, it's already boring.
Do you have to pay for these sweepstakes
No! It's why you should always use a sweepstakes aggregate or newsletter to find legitimate ones.
Thanks so very much!
Is it proticol to get notices that say you won but nothing happens. Push notices? Kind of icy? Is click 2win have a good reputation? Thanks for a response. Jan
No it is not. If you won you will get a proper email, or phone call. You will need to fill out a release form and then you will get a prize.
I’m Sorry!! MY QUESTION IS , THE RULES THE SAME FOR REALLY BUG SWEEPSTAKES???
They should be. Every sweepstakes should have in the rules: start and end dates, eligibility, frequency and then any specifics to that sweepstakes, plus generic liability clause is that protect the sponsor.
I follow the rules when I enter online contests and what not and I don't ever succeed. Starting to think its seriously not worth it. Go figure! Starting to think I don't want to try anymore.
I want you to go follow Tom Cavalli of iWinContests. He teaches best odds sweepstakes. I am going to bet you are not effectivly using your entry time. One key to winning is to enter smarter, not harder. Good Luck!
@@Contestqueen I do that and STILL no luck. :(
:( I guess I really blew everything. I am not all that smart.
@@Targetsignal2 I also want you to change the way you think. If you believe you are a loser, before you enter, you won't win. Go watch my Helene Hadsell playlist.
@@Contestqueen ok I guess
I won a book from you back in 2007 or 08 and I never got it. I lived in colorado. People do not know your the God Mother of sweepstakes
I always mail out my prizes. If you never received it, why didn;t you contact me at the time? I would have mailed you out another copy.
Is it possible you can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I read over privacy policy and officials rule over and over. Sweepstakes..is it really real
This is a broad topic. It depends on what you are entering and where. You could be entering online correctly, but not in person or on social media. Have you read my book How To Win Cash, Cars, Trips & More! ? I walk you through entering sweepstakes step-by-step.
I'm just now getting this message from you tube. Now I'm embarrassed. 😬And no I didn't know about the book. I will look into that and thank you for considering to help me.
Winloot, pch, reward it, prizecraze, giant, etc
@@sonjab821 I know of mone of those sites - I would checkout Sweepstakes Fanatics, IWINCONTESTS, SweepSheet or Sweepstakes Advantage.
What is your book called ? Where do I get it? Thanks jp
Hi I’m here in Australia was wondering if you can suggest contests can you suggest I enter?
Try www.competitions.com.au/ or www.competitionsguide.com.au/ or www.aussiecomps.com/
Thank you so much 🙏✨💕
perfect i will def use your insta for entries and hopefully you can enter them too! I'm in canada so we would likely qualify for the same contests :)
Yup :)
I accidentally entered in a sweepstake and is there any way i could get rid of it?
No.
I would love to become a publisher clearing house sweepstakes winner. Any advice on how to win.
I wouldn't enter the PCH sweepstakes because the odds of winning are dismal. One key to winning is to enter smarter, not harder. I recommend you follow Tom Cavalli of iWinContests for better odds strategies.
@@ContestqueenThe winners of PCH would have never won if they only went by human's odds of winning. Someone says they would love to win the PCH sweepstakes and then you discourage them by saying the odds of winning is dismal? I think only your attitude is dismal. I would never promote you.
@@google12greekmythsthatprove. Right 😣
That's why I stay away from Instagram contests
Thank you for your help!
Can you do the same and send it to CZcams??
This is on CZcams.
I don't believe that i had that it was really hard to win pch that why is no Pont in winning it a scam
It is a legal giveaway. They were taken to court years ago for fraud, and they had to rewrite their official rules. That's why it's now easier to win the lottery. They made the odds terrible on purpose.
I only have one questions do i have to pay if i win?? Im a child and i enterd a sweepstakes!!!!!
10 It depends on where you live and 2) it depnds on the rules of the sweepstakes. If you are under age, you parent swill have to claim the prize for you and they would be responsible for taxes, if there are any.
Thx
READ THE RULES!!!
I am entering it correctly. The problem is with the Bonus entries with the code word used by the sweepstakes management. It isn’t accepted saying that I already used it. If that were true the number of entries I had would be 900 more than they are.🤷🏻♂️
Do you have the link so I can see the sweepstakes?
@@Contestqueen Yes, I have been entering it with the other ways to do so. It only has a problem with the Bonus entry.🤷🏻♂️
What if i # and tag friends multiple times does it help?
Depends on the contest rules. Sometimes yes and sometimes no. I have a limited number of friends I tag. I have the mindset I am going to win if I am going to win.
It depends on the rules. It might.

I wouldn't enter Publisher's Clearing House. The odds of winning are dismall. Have you though of taking iWINContests' Odd class? iwincontests.com/sweeper-university/ to better understand why you are not winning?

I have never heard of a

Ok please any one answer this question is sweepstakes a store and if its not I have this app where there giving away a Visa card sweepstakes Is giving it away can I use the card everywhere I have exactly no clue so it would be very helpful for any one to answer this question thanks
It may be a legitimate sweepstakes. Many companies, including apps, host giveaways to market their brand, usage, awareness, etc. I am not sure what country you are in, but you can check out ContestChest.com for legitimate giveaways open to you for all types of prizes.
Ok thank you for responding
No
No one EVER wins those sweepstakes.
I have won over $300K in prizes, including 18 Trips all over the world. Not sure why you don't believe no one wins.
What about those sweepstakes you get from stores or emails?
I love entering those as they usually announce a contest to their subscribers, first! Sometimes I even win!
I am trying to win Microsoft sweepstakes do you have any tips to increase my odds??

40twenty nice I’m going for the x box btw I found out a way to get 150 entries for free
40twenty if you read the terms and conditions it tells you that you can send a letter to Microsoft with your credentials on and your Microsoft email on and they will give you 150 entries for free to what every sweepstake you want. I have done it
40twenty I think if you send it today it might in the rules it said you can I think
james jackson can u please help me i cant figure out to do it
Publishers clearing house ?? Is that a good sweepstakes
It is legitamite, but the odds of winning are dismal. I would enter elsewhere.
@@Contestqueen I wanna lose it:(
I'm very disorganized and a scatterbrain but I would love for you to work with me I would love that could you work with me
I teach a Contesting for Beginners class. It would help you to become organized.
I've had issues with tagging friends to enter sweeps. Thoughts on this? I don't have a problem subscribing on twitter or instagram or others I don't use so I don't worry if they get filled with garbage. I talk to family and friends on facebook so i don't bother them there. Is there some kind of generic friend to tag for entries.
You need to create a circle of sweeping buddies that you can tag. I have five that I consistantly use. Come to one of my Virtual Contest Club Meetings to meet fellow sweepers. They exchange handles and tags all the time.
Shh.... People who watch this video will know it's an instagram contest. More chances for us to win.
I bet NPN = No Purchase Necessary
Not all companies clearly state that it's Instagram only. It's very frustrating.
Agreed! I wish more companies would hire me to write the contest mechanics and/or monitor the giveaway. It's definitely right if I run it!!

Hello
Can you pls help me win the hgtv dream home I neeeeeed a home bad please help me.
I cannot help you. You have to help yourself. I recommend you read my newest book on how to manifest prizes and win at life. contestqueen.com/books/contesting-the-name-it-and-claim-it-game/
Thxs lol
Not the kind of sweepstake i`d be interested in
To each their own.
It's because they're stinking scams.
They are not. There are scams out there which is why you have to read the rules. I have won almost $400 000 in cash and prizes since 2001 including 23 trips (I am on one right now!!). Companies in the U.S. spend billions each ear running legitimate promotions. It's why I recommend using a sweepstakes aggregate as they make finding them easier.
@@Contestqueen, actually, they rarely are on the level. No one just gives away money. What for? Yes, someone has to win to give the appearance of success for someone, but like Las Vegas, the house is out to win, not lose.
They do. Google "sweeptakes as a marketing strategy". You will find hundereds of results. I work with lawyers that specialize in Promotional Law, yes it is a thing as they write the rules. Companies like ShortStack and Woobox built their entire business model serving companies hosting contests making them easier to create, execute, manage and share. You can believe what you will, but I attend the Annual National Sweepstakes Convention and am friends with hundreds of other winners, so I know it's not just me.
@@Contestqueen, well, it sounds like you have better-than-average knowledge for learning strategies. It's like the folks who learn to play cards well.
@@valuecalc And I teach others how to win too. Many have learned from me and surpassed me in wins. Tom Cavalli for example. He bought my book in 2008. I have won 23 trips. He has won 83!! You could learn how to win too. With companies spending billions there are enough prizes for everyone.
Hello, New to your channel and just subscribed. But your Facebook page ALL your contest cost $.. now I learned years ago if you have to pay to enter contest. This is bogus Sorry so don't know if I will continue to be a subscriber. I'll give it a chance and see if all of your contest cost money
What are you taking about? I never pay to enter a sweepstakes. Even the sweepstakes on my site are free, but I am not a sweepstakes aggregate. I am a sweepstakes teacher. Some of the aggregates on my site are subscription based (you know it's not free for anyone to run a business online, so they are recouping their expenses) and others are free. Have you tried Sweepstakes Fanatics? That is a great free aggregate hosting legitimate sweepstakes for you to enter, for free! And if a sweepstakes required a purchase, read the rules and enter via the No Purchase Entry option.
@@Contestqueen I'm saying when I went to your Facebook page. Every single contest you had listed cost money to enter! Thanks for the tip
@@ssue4q That isn't true. I just promoted a contest for ESET. Free to enter. Another for Jarritos Canada. Free to enter. You can enter my giveaway to win a private sweepstakes class. Free to enter. Where are the pay-to-play sweepstakes??
@@Contestqueen okay well I'm saying that's all I saw when I went to your Facebook page 15mn. ago? Anyway and contest fanatics? I think that was the name. Well I do appreciate the tip. But these like all soon as you enter something it takes you to another sweepstake place. Then you look at the privacy. And they of course are shared with third-party. Then your email gets flooded literally with bogus contests.. I went that route decades ago. This is why I'm no longer able to use my Gmail account.. I never even check it anymore. Guess I just wanted to see if things had changed. But clearly they have it thanks anyway
@@ssue4q You need to enter my monthly contest for a free one-on-one sweepstakes masterclass. If you win, I can help you navigate the hobby so it works for you.

BIGGEST SWEEPSTAKES EVER???

Best thing to do is not enter a sweepstakes, you only get robbed.
I have won over $250K in orizes in the past 18 years and have never been robbed. Not only do I enter to win, I manage sweepstakes for companies. Everything from marketing to prize fulfilment. What makes you think it's a scam? I know it's not.

Scam
How is winning sweepstakes a scam? You do know that companies in the USA spend over $4B a year running promotions? And that 55M Americans enter sweepstakes each year. Plus sweepstakes have been used as a marketing tool since 1900? This is a hobby that isn't going away.
hello
