Sweepstakes Title/Link - Svedka Vodka Cash Sweep
Prize(s)- $60,000 or a 3 night trip for 20
End Date - December 31, 2010
Entry Frequency - daily per person
Simone's Thoughts - For my last sweep of the year I am posting a Facebook sweep in honor of the progress it has made in sweeps this year. 2009 was the year of the blogs. 2010 looked to be the year of the twiter parties and sweeps, but about halfway through the year FB started coming up strong and by the end of 2010 it had left twitter in the dust. You can still find some good sweeps on blogs and twitter, but 2010 finished the year of the FB sweep. If you haven't joined facebook, join it for the sweepstakes - it will be worth your time. Hope 2011 brings you many more wins~
Favor to ask. Please vote for my entry here so that I have a shot at winning a Nissan Leaf. If I get the most votes across the country I win, but only have until January 19, 2011 to do so. Thanks guys!

Is it worth my time?
Sweepstakes Title/Link - SheKnows TV Sweep
Prize(s)- Toshiba 46" LCD TV & Nintendo Wii console
End Date - January 22, 2011
Entry Frequency - unlimited
Simone's Thoughts - I have to admit there are certain sweepstakes I just don't bother with. Sometimes because the prizes aren't that good, other times because I don't consider the sponsors trustworthy enough. Sometimes I am inclined to not enter a sweepstakes because I figure its just not worth my time for the odds. SheKnows is one of those sponsors I used to not enter very frequently because most of their sweeps are unlimited entries and for relatively small items. Then I won one of their sweepstakes for $500 off one entry even though it was unlimited. They fulfilled the prize quickly and were a pleasure to work with. So enter away and maybe you too will be a winner.

Newsletter v. Spam
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Cooking.com KitchenAid Sweep
Prize(s)- Variety of KitchenAid major and minor appliances
End Date - December 31, 2010
Entry Frequency - 1x per person
Simone's Thoughts - A question I always get asked by new sweepers is 'Don't you get a lot of spam?' and I always answer 'no.' Spam is completely unsolicited and many times dangerous phishing style emails. Entering safe sweepstakes will not generate this type of email for you. Now, what you will most likely get is massive amounts of newsletters and that is because even though you 'opt out' of many communications while entering sweepstakes, some require you to receive their newsletter and are just too good to pass up. This sweep is a case in point. I handle this by just unsubscribing from everything every January and by having a solely sweepstakes email.
