new and wanting first win, but how?

I often manage 100 competitions a day and that's with working full time. And that doesn't include instant wins.
I tend to firstly do postals, but usually that's only 2-3 a day, then I work through the new comps of the day, this is usually about 8-10 pages.
Then I do the next days, and sometimes the day after too.
I only enter comps I want to win, this excludes most kids stuff as the only comps I really enter for kids are for my 2 year old niece so they are limited.
I rarely enter for tickets unless it's local or west end.
I do enter most DVD/CD ones though which are usually numerous prizes and not a popular prize, like ipods/wii's.
I use Roboform as it makes entering sooo much quicker and upgraded to the full version at the weekend to save even more time.
Keep going and best of luck!2009 Wins = £833
2010 Wins = £6,597
2011 Wins = £7,083
£2,012 in 2012 = £450/£2,012
20 in 2012 = 4/200 -
I know you don't 'want to end up like that' as you say, but it's really the luck of the draw. I think I agree with others when I say don't comp expecting to win cos you could go years without winning or win loads, comping has to be fun to do. I enjoy entering but winning's a bonus, not something I count on LOL. Also, as more people are entering it makes it harder for everyone to win, comping is fantastic but not a quick fix or quick way to get stuff.
Good luck.MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR0
