Sweepstakes Book Review

Not really a how-to book, but a wonderful read on how a lady from Ohio raised her children by entering contests. I will say for this book that it helps give an idea of what judges are looking for. I won the only contest I ever won with an idea I had right after reading this book. It helped me think outside the ordinary. Gives examples of winning jingles, phrases, etc. A fun read.

This is not a book on sweepstaking at all, but a craft book. It has templates in it to make your own envelopes. I've won a laptop by sending in envelopes I made out of wallpaper samples.

Contesting: The Name It and Claim It Game

Quite possibly the best book on sweepstakes and contests ever written. Helen Hadsell tells how a positive attitude can help winning, giving stories of her years of contesting and sweepstaking.

In Twenty-Five Words or Less ...: The...

An older book, but the absolute best I've ever seen with tips on how to enter contests (as oppossed to sweepstakes, which are a random drawing)

Sweeps: Step by Step by Char Sonderfan

Excellent book that includes a listing of what type of envelopes won most often for her with different judging agencies.

Sweepsheet Newsletter

Not a book, but a bi-weekly newsletter with the latest and best sweepstakes. The editor seems to have broken the code of how to win sweepstakes and which are the best bet -- and each issue there is the pick of the month of which is the most likely to net you a prize. Please say Jennifer Short, WV referred you.
