    1) The more you enter, the better your chances.
    2) Entering comps that require some effort increases your chances as less people enter them
    3) Dont give up. We all have times when we dont win much/anything. Keep entering and you will win eventually.

    It sounds harsh but if it's making you depressed perhaps comping is not for you. It's a hobby and should be fun. You can't expect to win, only hope that you do.

    Don't give up. I'm sure you'll get a win soon!!!! Everyone has dry periods when all you get through your letterbox are bills :( But then one day a jiffy will appear :T I've just had a WEM from a comp the ended in October!!!!!

    Hi like others have said if you don`t enjoy it maybe it`s not worth doing. Your signature prizes are not bad though for comping a few months x
    Make £2 a day challenge - doing well so far.

    My advice would be to stop thinking about it. See everything on here as a shopping list, think oh I'd like that, enter the comp and forget about it and move on to the next one.

    Never think 'I wont win that'

    Good luck your prizes will come xxx
