How I Won Nightly Concert Tickets



I'm excited that within days of starting this blog, I won another social media contest. Winning is not something you can count on, but you can increase your chances of winning something in a few different ways. One of which is entering contests with very few entries. 

This contest was sponsored by Raygun, a Midwest shop known for their graphic tees. I own a shirt and have heard their owner speak on two different occasions which is why I followed them originally. I'm a big fan of their humor. That Nancy Pelosi clapping meme? They put it on a t-shirt.

So when they posted that they were giving away two tickets, I was ready. It didn't matter to me that I had never heard of the band because my parents LOVE concerts, and I knew I could give the tickets to them. 


All you had to do was tag a friend in the comments. The reason I won? Only FOUR people entered. That's right. Obviously more people than just four saw the post, but they didn't know the band which is probably why they didn't enter. Me? At this point, I just like winning and knew my parents would like some free tickets. 

I had a one in four chance of winning which have to be my greatest odds ever. 

So I would like to thank Raygun. Check out their website here and maybe get yourself a cool shirt like the one below. 

Raygun, if you ever read this and want to thank me for the free advertising, I would like a medium in literally anything.

Knowing Your Odds

Image
Imagining yourself winning a Thailand vacation? You're probably better off just buying your ticket.  So you're entering dozens and dozens of contests and never win anything. Sound familiar? If you're not realistic with your chances of winning, you're going to find yourself disappointed over and over again. Many Instagram and Facebook contests will have you comment and tag people in order to enter. This is a great way for you to see what your odds are. As a general rule of thumb, if there are less than 100 entries (or 100 comments), I always enter. Anywhere under 1,000 entries, I enter if it is simple enough. If they want me to follow them, follow 20 other accounts, tag 37 people, and subscribe to their email list, then I probably won't enter because that's a lot of work for low odds. Recently I had someone tag me in a contest with over 3,000 entrants that had only been open for 2 hours for a prize worth only $150. No matter how many people you're

Things I'm Never Buying Again- Because I Can Win Them

I'm a fairly frugal person and love getting good deals. However, there are some things that I've decided I'm never buying again because I can win them instead. Statement earrings- Now this is something I love to win, so keep on tagging me, but this is also something I never need to purchase again. I've won SEVEN pairs of earrings since mid-March. I won a subscription for statement earrings. I do not need to purchase any more and I need you guys to keep me honest.  Skincare products- There are so many people out there posting about makeup and skincare and they have a lot of products to give away. Recently, I won  Puriface Hydrogel Face Wash which can easily be purchased through Amazon if you're looking to buy. They actually sent me a link to it on Amazon which makes it look like a lot of people are purchasing it. So if someone were perusing skin care products on Amazon, their product would likely show up higher in the search results and more sales gives them mo

How I Won an iPad Pro for Free

Image
Yeah, that's right, I won a 128GB iPad Pro for FREE! However, there is no such thing as a free iPad. I put in a lot of work into connecting with people to help me out.  In June 2017, my family went on vacation to Hawaii. One day my mom had me look up things to do and I found the Byodo-In Temple to have good reviews. So we packed everyone into the car and drove to the place that would end up sending me an iPad.  We wandered around taking pictures. There is a small building off to the right of the temple that was your typical gift shop and snack bar, but it was closed. My dad and brother were sitting there and I went over to join them when I saw an 8.5"x 11" piece of paper taped to the wall explaining a Facebook contest to win a free iPad. Essentially, all you needed was the most likes on your Facebook photo. Easy, right?  I spent our remaining time there taking a bunch of photos from different angles to give me options to choose from later.  The ab
