I been involved in contests for years. I enjoy entering contests to dream winning a mega-gazillion. I have taught a course in contests. This book the result of the course and my own personal experience. I am a VIP Elite member for Publishers Clearing House (which means I enter Publishers Clearing House a lot) and Publishers Clearing House winner (ok - not life changing only $10 dollars - but still a winner). Guidebook sectionsGuidebook divided into two sections; Collection of Ideas and Internet Resources. Collection of Ideas are a collection of my thoughts regarding my contest hobby. Internet Resources are Internet contests resources a person may wish to try for their contest hobby.

Internet Resources that I use most often-Publishers Clearing House (www.pch.com)-Sandra Grauschopf- the Balance Everyday (Sandra Gruaschopf creates the Balance Everyday contest section) (https: //www.thebalanceeveryday.com/contests-4161941) I use two resources listed above the most often in my contest hobby. I have not had problems using these two contest Internet resources in the past. I would recommend these two Internet contest resources. As with anything on the Internet, please evaluate the resources as things can change in the future. The Other Internet resources The other resources I not used as often; but mention the other resources so people are aware of them. Please evaluate each specific contest resource to see if the resource works for you.-Media ContestsRadioTVNewspaper-Marketing SurveysConsumer/Product Services Marketing Surveys
