Participate in their forums, you can get a lot of tips from other members.
Download auto entry (autofill) tools like Roboform www.roboform.com. These can make entering so much faster and easier.
Step2
You could win a computer
These sites have their sweepstakes and contest organized in categories (instant win, daily entry, weekly entry, automobiles, cash etc.)
Select several sweepstakes that you really want to enter. Go back as often as allowed and enter. If the rules state that you can enter daily, then enter daily to increase your chances.
Step3
You could win a big screen TV set
Try some non traditional methods of winning:
1. Have a sweeps party-get together with a few friends around the kitchen table for the sole purpose of entering sweeps (I won $11,000 this way).
2. Have a laptop 'meet up'-Get together with friends at the library, McDonald's, anywhere there is wi-fi and enter enter, enter.
Step4
You could win Gift Cards
Keep your eye out for local sweepstakes and contest, some of my best wins have come from local promotions (radio and tv stations, grocery stores, drug stores, newspaper, magazines). One has a better chance of winning local sweeps and contest because less people enter giving you greater odds.
Step5
'Read the Rules' I cannot stress this enough, rules are put in place for a reason and if you don't follow them this could disqualify you from winning. Would be ashamed to work hard on winning $1,000,000 only to get disqualified because the rules stated one entry and you entered 50 times.

on 9/9/2008 I LOVE the movie, "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio". Have you seen it? It's all about a woman who did this for a living in the 50's. This is a fabulous article, I'm going to bookmark it as a favorite.

on 6/19/2008 I found a really cool sweepstakes online for a 2008 Toyota Yaris. You can enter by signing up for Easy Talk. It's an enhanced calling card service that has great international rates and even better features. You can automatically get entries for referring friends to the service too. There's no limit in referrals. I just signed up and referred a few friends to the site. Good luck for those of you entering.
