Search And Lose
I am pretty darn sure, we all have heard of these search and win sites. They promise you will “win” real prizes and if you get people to sign up under you and they win a prize- that you will win that same exact prize too. Heck, most of those sites even have “proof” pages, to show you that it is for real.
Some like Winzy, give you points for every search and in the end of the month they are put together for a random winner of the big prize. Or a few like SwagBucks, give you points to search and you can save up to redeem a prize.
Yet, does anybody ever really win? I know that I have tried them, and I never won a single prize. Have you or anybody you know won anything from them? Tell me your thoughts on this.
Honestly,the best places to enter contests are magazine and newspaper contests. I
don’t really trust instant wins.
