Contests: How you can win big and small!

Enter-to-WinOne of the neatest ways I’ve heard to save money isn’t actually about saving money per se, it’s about opening yourself to opportunities from the comfort of your own home- contests!

Contests are a unique way to increase your chances to receive any of the weird and wonderful randomness floating around the universe.

My best friend introduced me to this concept a number of years ago and she’s won everything from cashmere scarves, to electronics, to trips to Australia (most recently).

There’s actually a whole subculture of people (“sweepstakers” or “contesters”) that devote a certain amount of time each day to entering online or mail-in contests. Check out this other article on Contesting: How to Travel the World For Free to learn more about what you can win!

How you can enter contests:

After that, you want to start entering on a daily basis and wait for the goodies to roll-in.
