How to Win No-Fee Essay Contests and Receive Wonderful
Prizes
What works and what doesn't
Booklet: $5.95
This booklet talks about
winning no fee, essay contests. I hold essay contests and
also win them.
I find that very few people enter essay contests - a real
shame - and when they do enter, they don't put much effort
into it. I talk about how I win, and how you can increase
your chances of winning. With a little thought, you can win
some substantial prizes. For example I won $250 worth of
Benjamin Moore paint in a radio station (610 CKTB) essay
contest when I decided to paint my 3 BR condo and you can
read my losing essay and
my winning
essay. I've won $120 training packages I wanted to buy, a
pile of books and T-shirts through the Toronto Transit
Commission, and all sorts of other things.
As a related topic I also talk about how to become the
recipient of many valuable items through Freecycle.org. I
have saved thousands of dollars by "applying for" free
items offered on Freecycle. It takes some thought as a
"writer" to convince the Offerer to choose your request
over dozens and, in some cases, hundreds of responses. It's
an art.
Today, for example, I received an Apple G3 computer that
works fine and I'll use it as a backup for my other two.
I'm also out the door right now to pick up some free
camping equipment. All free. I give lots of things away for
free, too, and furnished my new home with furniture and
artwork that are nice, free, and have been kept out of the
landfill. Here's a cat tree I received for free:

I've also
received appliances and even XM satellite radio which is
about $120 to purchase new.
