No one has ever logged onto the Internet for the first time and started pocketing dollars in a really short period of time. As with all things in life, there is a learning curve. There is only one way to shorten the curve on the Internet, "you must plan to succeed."

Holding a contest or sweepstakes can draw a lot of traffic
to your Web site. You can announce your site to hundreds
of Web sites that l.ist f.ree contests and sweepstakes. Send
out a press releases about your contest or sweepstakes.
Ask entrants to your contest or sweepstakes if they would
accept offers from your business in the future by e-mail.

The p.rizes should be something your target audience would
need or want. Try to be as original as possible with the
p.rizes you are offering. Always o.ffer more than one prize,
a grand prize and runner-up p.rizes. Use your products or
services to give away as p.rizes. Make sure your p.rizes have
some value, nothing cheap. Give enough information about
all the p.rizes, so people will be interested in entering.

Make it easy for people to enter your contest or sweeps-
takes. I feel the easiest ways online are from an entry form
on your Web site or by e-mail. Capture as much info. as
you can when they enter your contest or sweepstakes like:

Company Name
First/Last Name
Street Address
City, State, Zip
Day/Evening Phone Number
E-mail Address
Web Site Address
Purchasing History
Survey Questions

Give your contest or sweepstakes a professional look and
feel. Provide an "Official Rules" Web page for your contest
or sweepstakes. Include a time period of how long your
contest or sweepstakes will be held. Tell visitors how you
will deliver the p.rizes. Include pictures of the p.rizes on your
site. Tell visitors who will judge your contest. Check out
other contests and sweepstakes Web sites to get more
ideas.
