How
to enter and win Facebook sweepstakes
Facebook
has been one of the revelations of the past few years, an Internet phenomenon
that has attracted a wide range of users. As a promotional tool it is
invaluable, but have you thought about entering Facebook sweepstakes?
Sweepstakes
are used by companies on Facebook, and elsewhere, to generate interest and some
of the prizes on offer can be very attractive. With such an easy way of getting
into sweepstakes with big prizes it is no surprise that more people are choosing
to enter Facebook sweepstakes, so let's have a look at how to enter, and then -
the important bit - how to win!
Entering
is easy
Entering
Facebook sweepstakes could not be easier, and can also be a lot of fun! The
first step is to open a Facebook account, assuming you have not already got one.
If not, remember to take care about the personal information you reveal online.
Once you have your account you are ready to look for sweepstakes, and here's
how.
There are
many online lists of current Facebook sweepstakes - try running an internet
search for sweepstakes forums where you can talk to others who enjoy online
competitions - and the information there can be very valuable.
If there
are specific companies that you follow you will be given access to their
sweepstakes, and this can be a very good way of getting into the groove where
online sweepstakes are concerned. The 'Like' button is a very useful tool at
this stage, for to enter many sweepstakes you need to have 'liked' that
company's page.
Once you
have found a sweepstakes you want to enter, and read the rules of entry, it's
time to get the wheels in motion and start playing! This is the fun part, but
it's also a very important stage of the process.
Fill
in the form
According
to Facebook rules companies are not permitted to take information from others
accounts, even if they have submitted a 'like' and indicated an intention to
enter the sweepstakes. This is why you will have to fill in a form, online, in
order to enter the sweepstakes. Take care to give all the information you are
asked for, as this can be vital for the competition.
There are
two further actions that you may be asked to make in order to enter the
sweepstakes. The first is that you may be asked to give permission for your
basic information to be read by the company. This is standard practice and
should not be a concern.
Secondly,
you may be asked to recommend the sweepstakes - or the company - to a number of
your friends. If you do recommend the sweepstakes will be seen in their inbox,
and it is their choice whether to enter or not.
Once you
have followed all the steps you have entered your first Facebook sweepstakes,
and the fun begins.
Tips
on Winning Facebook sweepstakes
You are
free to enter any sweepstakes you wish, but there are some good tips you can
follow to enhance your chances of winning. Let's have a look at some of the more
valuable ideas:
- Check
the date the sweepstakes ends, and visit just before to enter.
By looking at the number of 'likes' you can see how many people have
entered. Fewer 'likes' means less entrants, and a better chance of winning
for you!
- The
more you enter, the greater chance you have of winning! Take
some time each day to enter those you like the look of.
- There
are different types of sweepstakes; those where you simply cast
a vote will attract the most entrants, while the ones where you need to
answer questions will be less heavily subscribed. Remember, the less
entrants, the better your chance of winning!
- Register
with sweepstakes forums. There are many on the Internet, and
they are full of people who can offer you tips, advice and links to great
sweepstakes.
So there
you have it, a brief guide to entering Facebook sweepstakes and some advice on
how to maximise your chances of success. Go ahead and start your sweepstaking
fun!
