My Sweepstakes Letter Writing Supply List
One of the most common questions I get is:
"What supplies do I need to get started with electronic sweepstakes letter writing?"
The good news is you don't need anything fancy.
Over time, I've found a simple setup that works well for me and helps me stay organized. Below are the supplies I personally use and recommend for beginners.
My Recommended Starter Kit
If I were starting over today, this is exactly what I would buy:
✔ Black Pens
✔ Blue Pens
✔ Index Cards
✔ Envelopes
✔ Storage Container
✔ Dedicated Banking Account
✔ Access to Training & Community
You can start with the basics and add additional supplies as needed.
Pens
Having reliable pens is important because you'll be doing a lot of handwriting.
Black Pens

I use black pens when required and always make sure the ink is easy to read.
Blue Pens

Blue pens are another staple in my supply kit.
My recommendation is to keep multiple pens available so you never run out in the middle of a writing session.
Index Cards
4x6 Index Cards

Index cards are one of the primary supplies I use during the electronic letter-writing process.
I prefer purchasing them in bulk so I don't have to reorder frequently.
Envelopes
Standard Envelopes

Having a dedicated supply of envelopes helps me stay consistent and avoid unnecessary trips to the store.
Organization & Storage
Storage Container
[STORAGE CONTAINER AMAZON AFFILIATE LINK]
I keep all of my supplies in one place so I can quickly sit down and begin writing.
This includes:
- Pens
- Index Cards
- Envelopes
- Notes
- Tracking Materials
The easier it is to access your supplies, the easier it is to stay consistent.
Banking
SoFi
One recommendation I received from experienced sweepstakes letter writers was to use a dedicated account for sweepstakes-related deposits and redemptions.
Personally, I use SoFi to keep my sweepstakes activity separate from my primary household finances.
Benefits include:
- Easier tracking
- Better organization
- Cleaner recordkeeping
- Dedicated sweepstakes account
Training & Community
When I first started, I invested in training to better understand the process.
Selling With Confidence (SWC)
SWC helped me understand the basics and gave me access to a community of people actively participating in sweepstakes letter writing.
Income Stream Society (ISS)
ISS provides additional training, resources, and support for those interested in learning more about the process.
