Yesterday, I was just talking to a friend about the Apple iPhone that I won in a blog contest a few months ago and he asked me, “How come I never win anything?!?”

Well, many people have the misconception that they could win in contests just by not putting in the effort. It’s not true because first of all, if you are interested in participating in contests to win prizes, you will need to spare some time searching for contests or sweepstakes with interesting prizes.

To save time, what I do is to visit websites, blogs and forums that are specifically on contests, sweepstakes, freebies, giveaways, samples and deals. Well, just like my own blog. On one hand, I get to participate in all these contests and lucky draws and on the other hand, I get to share the information with readers of my two Freebie blogs.

There is A Contest Blog that I just discovered tonight which I think is worth checking out. If you are here reading this blog, then you will also be interested in what A Contest Blog has to offer. There are plenty of other contests, giveaways, freebies and sweepstakes not found here on my blog, that you could win in. So what are you waiting for?

By the way, if you are using Opera or Internet Explorer, you may notice that the content box and right sidebar are pushed to the bottom of the left sidebar. However, this Contest Blog is displayed perfectly in Safari and FireFox. As a webmaster, it is my habit to check websites with the four major web browsers as I want them to look “perfect”.
