Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. First, you need to download the free version of Roboform. Roboform is used to fill in forms. You should write down your password as soon as you install Roboform.

2. Next, set up Roboform to fill in your forms. You will need to put in your name, address, date of birth, username and passwords that you like to use and other things that you may need to fill in forms on sweepstakes. You should not need to fill in any credit card information or social security information.

3. After you get Roboform set up, go to sweepstakestoday.com and set up a free account. This sweepstakes website will allow you to sign up for the sweepstakes and you can add them to your lucky list. Your lucky list is what will keep track of your sweepstakes for you.

4. Make sure that you add your favorite sweepstakes to your lucky list so that you will know what time you entered each sweepstake and the last date that you entered. You can find that there are lots of different kinds of sweepstakes by logging onto sweepstakestoday.com and looking at the bottom of the page. There should be a list of daily sweepstakes, instant wins, weekly, expiring and other sweepstakes.

5. You will need to click on a sweepstake that you wish to enter and then on the next page click on the line where it says "click here to enter". You will be directed to the sweepstakes page. You may have to register on the website that the sweepstake is on. For example, if you went to do a sweepstake on Clorox.com, you may have to register with that particular website the first time that you do the sweepstake. Then when you return to enter the same one again you will probably only have to just log on and enter the sweepstakes. If you add each of the ones that you like on your lucky list, then you can log onto sweepstakestoday.com and find all of the sweepstakes that you like in your lucky list. It makes the whole process easier by using the lucky list.

6. Make sure you try to do sweepstakes in the off hours when most people wouldn't be doing them such as 3:00 AM. This will give you a much better chance of winning than if you do them when everyone else is doing them. You can do them early in the morning before work or late before bedtime too.

7. Please read the Warnings below before beginning.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure that before you submit your sweepstakes entries that you uncheck any boxes that may want you to subscribe to newsletters or order anything.
• Making a new email address just for sweepstakes is a wise choice so that you do not have sign up emails and junk mail coming into your regular email address.
• Do not give away credit card information or social security information while doing sweepstakes.
• Pick name brand sweepstakes such as Clorox, Omaha steaks and Pillsbury so that you do not get spam emails. There are plenty of name brand sweepstakes on sweepstakestoday.com, so you should have no problems finding them.
• Keep an eye on your junk mail and email for any emails that say "congratulations" on them. If you do have one, make sure that you scan it with a virus scan before opening them.
• Be responsible and do not sign up for offers or give out any information that you do not feel comfortable giving out while doing sweepstakes. In other words, just be cautious.
