This year the HGTV Dream Home giveaway is hotter than ever.
The fabulous 2012 HGTV Dream Home is located in the Wasatch Mountain range in Utah, on the Provo River. How sweet is that? Winning this beauty may seem like a pipe-dream but if you are willing to follow a few easy tips you can greatly improve your odds.
Easy Sweepstakes Tips for Dream Home Giveaway
Enter the HGTV dream home giveaway online the maximum amount, twice a day. Simple enough, right?
Entering is free and easy. First you fill out a short information form. After that, entering is as simple as pointing your index finger and clicking. Amazingly, many people put off those clicks until the last possible minute. Under new sweepstakes rules you can only enter twice a day online so don't wait until the last minute and expect to be able to plug in hundreds of clicks at a sitting.
HGTV Sweepstakes: How it Works
It helps to have a basic understanding of how the HGTV sweepstakes works. Participants not only enter online, they are also allowed to enter through the mail. Mailed entrees are kept in a mail bin and online entries are held as data in a computer. Because the two mediums are incompatible--like oranges and apples--the finalists have to be drawn from both bins. Are you getting the picture now? You want to have entries in both.
Increase Chances to Win
To increase the odds that you will win, enter by mail. That's right. Remember mail, that antique form of communication involving paper, envelopes, stamps, and some magical form of long distance transport?
In order to maximize your chances of winning the HGTV house, car and cash you're going to want to do as much mailing as you can stand. That's the good thing about mailing entries, you can submit as many as you want.
Mailing will cost you more--the price of a stamp and the time it takes to fill in a form and go to the post office--but if you are serious about winning, old fashioned mailing should be included in your tactics. If all this seems like too much drudgery, consider enlisting the help of your kids (or friends) in a mailing campaign, just the thing for a rainy afternoon.
A Little Creative Visualization?
You say "What?" While many people believe firmly in the ability to manifest desires through visualization, others find this notion to be a load-of-baloney. If you are one of those who places visualization into lunch-meat category, consider this: even if it doesn't work, there's no harm in trying. In fact, some serious studies have shown that pleasant thoughts are beneficial for health. Besides, it's kind of fun, so why not?
Find a quiet spot, close your eyes. Imagine your name being chosen as the winner. The HGTV team knocks on your door to give you the great news. Feel the excitement as if it's really happening. Then imagine yourself walking through the door of your dream house with family and friends, snuggling by the massive fireplace with a hot toddy, wallowing in the hot tub, or shushing down the slopes--you get the idea. It's your vision, so cut lose and be creative!
