November Winnings

This is overdue but wanted to let you all know some accounts to follow for giveaways! November was busy, but I did win four giveaways and have some tips to help you find giveaways and win.

1. @tiedyeismylife on Instagram gave away a couple little paint pouring canvases she made. I’ve been looking more at #artgiveaway to find unique handmade pieces to decorate my apartment. Check her and the hashtag out!

2. @classickimberz on Instagram gave away the book The Age of Turmoil by Bronson Mullens along with a $15 Starbucks gift card. I love books and hope to get a chance to read this one during the holidays. I found this one by checking out #starbucksgiftcard on Instagram which is great for finding small accounts giving away gift cards to Starbucks.

3. @heuserandheuser_law gave away a $10 Starbucks gift card on Instagram. They give away a lot of these in regular posts. They often post a photo and a couple facts about a location in Colorado and you just have to be the first one to answer correctly. They currently only have about 320 followers so there isn’t much competition and I’ve won twice so far. Check them out!

4. @tricombeskincare gave away three of their tinted lip balms on Instagram. I haven’t seen them hosting any other giveaways since then but following them is worth a shot!

That’s all for November and I’ve already won some fun ones for December! Comment below what the best thing you won in November!

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

August Winnings

Image
Ah yes, my monthly post where I share what I won over the past month. Personally, I had a lot going on. I moved into a new apartment, took a five day trip to San Antonio to watch my brother graduate Air Force basic training, and started my MBA, so I was not entering many contests this month. However,  I still had a few winnings. 1. If you've been following @stickermule you know that they recently wrapped up 100 days of giveaways. And in those 100 days, I won something! Some of their days had more than one winner, so I made sure to enter those. I won a free order of sheet labels (fancy stickers) worth $56. If you're following me on Instagram, you'll know that I actually gave these away (my first giveaway!). 2. @dermala had an Instagram contest with three winners. One of those winners must have not followed the rules or responded quickly enough because I was able to get a free package of their acne wipes worth $40. These were super handy when traveling to Texas. 3. I

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
