Are you addicted to contests?

A friend of mine sent this to me today, and I thought it would be perfect to share with my readers! If you're like me, you've found yourself sucked into entering contests and giveaways...and losing track of time. (Seriously, I am guilty as charged!) Apparently, a major cable network is casting a show called "Sweepers" for people who fit the following description:
Are you addicted to contests? Casting “Sweepers”!

Are you someone who enters contests for 2-7 hours a day?

Do you spend your weekends in search of contests?

If you answered yes and have won ton of stuff, we want to hear from you!



Please send a brief bio to include your winning streak to: Realitytvcastingnyc@gmail.com


Now, I haven't won a whole lot that has had a high ticket price (though my Tassimo coffee maker is AWESOME)...but maybe some of you have! So I thought I'd share. If you're interested, the full details can be found on the casting call's event page on Facebook.

Oh, and while you're at it, go enter my giveaways...you might just be able to keep your winning streak going!

Disclaimer: This is NOT a sponsored post. I am in NO WAY affiliated with this show/casting call and have no details about it other than what's posted above. I am just sharing this with my readers for fun. I don't get anything in return for posting this other than the satisfaction of passing on a helpful/funny tip to my readers.

I love entering contests, and I do loose track of time too lol I enter a lot, but I'm no where NEAR as CRAZY as some Sweepers are!

I just finished an email to them.

I think it is important to get out there that we aren't crazy, [okay, maybe I'm a little bit crazy, but I was crazy long before I started entering sweeps) and that women who create these websites are savvy business persons who market a lot of stuff for a lot of advertising...

Can you imagine how much money it would have cost Country Crock to get the exposure they are getting for paying $200 to a winner in their current sweep - targeted exposure.

Janna - I would think that people who watch the shows would go to one or two sweeps and then lose interest. Don't you?

BrenRiley said...

No, no, no! Leave us sweepers alone. Don't ruin it for us!

Andrea said...

@MTGunfighter - you make a really great point about how blog giveaways are a way to reduce costs on targeted marketing!

I was kind of being tongue-in-cheek with this post...and if I had to guess I think the show will probably be geared more toward people who seek out radio show contests and stuff like that.

And nope, we're not crazy. Not crazy at all :)

I love entering contests and giveaways. I used to lose track of time entering away. But I've cut way back- I rarely won anything so I decided it was a time drain.

I do still enter the occasional contest with bloggers I love, but I set myself a time limit of even reading blogs which includes entering contests too.

Oh what fun...I have ben sweeping for years and have the prizes and cash to prove it. It's a great hobby that turns addicting once the prizes start rolling in!
