 The Key to Winning
There are many keys to winning.
Being organized is the first.
If you are not organized you will most likely, and inadvertently, disqualify yourself. Then, even if your name is selected, you will not win. Here are a few tips to get you started:
ONLINE CONTESTS
1) Create an email address just for entering sweepstakes. This will keep your hobby separate from your personal and work life, plus cut down on spam.
2) Learn to quickly scan online rules for:
- eligibility,
- start and end dates,
- and entry frequency.
3) Use tools to help you enter faster, such as RoboForm.
MOBILE GIVEAWAYS
1) Ensure you have a plan that offers unlimited texting, along with a reasonable amount of data, so you can sweep on-the-go.
2) Learn how to connect to a local hotspot when out-and-about. Taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi in malls, coffee shops, etc. will save you data.
3) Load the apps for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram on your smartphone so you can enter during downtimes.
MAIL-IN SWEEPSTAKES
1) Ensure you have:
- #10 envelopes
- 3”x5” blank cards
- stamps
- black or blue pen
2) Used clear hand printed (not cursive) block letters when entering.
3) Space your entries out throughout the entire sweepstakes.
How organized are you?

Your Questions Answered
Ask Carolyn Anything
I used to have a section in The Winning EDGE called Your Questions Answered. After I discontinued the newsletter, I began answering my questions on my blog, From The Contest Queen. If you have any sweepstakes, contest or giveaway related questions, #AskCarolynAnything. I'll answer them in my blog or on YouTube, then add the link to my response in this newsletter so you won't miss any great answers, tips or tricks.

Winning Tip
It takes just as much time to win a car as it does movie passes. Spend your time entering to win big before entering to win small.
Send in your tips and you may be featured in the next issue of The Winning EDGE!

Missing Issues?
Are you asking yourself:
- Why am I only getting The Winning EDGE once a month?
- Have I missed any issues?
Since CASL (Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation) went into effect on July 1st 2014, legally I must have expressed consent from subscribers, but until July 1st 2017, I can continue to send emails to those that have given me implied consent.
Once a month, until the government deadline, I will send a newsletter to my entire subscriber list and if you still wish to receive The Winning EDGE, legally I must have your expressed consent. If not, please unsubscribe at the bottom of this email.
