I've been a member of this forum about 9months now, won some good stuff in the first 2 months or so... I enter the dailies/weeklys/monthlys and go through the main forum and enter the competitions I like the look of on there, but is there anywhere that everyone is going because there is no way me doin this equates to 150 comps a day I recon I'm lucky if I enter 50 by doing this.. and have had a pretty dry 6 months!

I know exactly how you feel (and I suspect many others do too). It seems to me that, just when you feel like giving up, something comes along (I've just won a £120 Maxi Cosi car seat).

Then you feel the buzz and think you're on a winning streak, but nothing seems to come along and you just feel like giving up.......
Keep at it, you will get lucky

Honestly I don't think there is a trick to this, aside from just quantity quantity quantity...which it seems like you are doing, so all I can suggest is that you keep going, as long as you are not finding it too cumbersome and putting other things off to do this!! lol!!
I do think that there are more people entering though, so that must be making a difference.0 -
Hiya!!
I'm feeling the same!! I started comping last July and I've entered every comp on here since! (apart from tickets to things I can't get to etc) and to begin with I was getting at least a couple of wins a week. 2011 has been REALLY slow for me - I've hardly won a thing! but like everyone says, our luck will turn round, we just have to keep on comping! have you ever seen finding nemo? there's a song that dory sings that I've adopted for when I feel dispondent. Instead of "keep on swimming, keep on swimming" I chant "keep on comping, keep on comping" teehee..0 -
I was feeling the same as you yesterday but when I got home and checked my facebook I had won a £20 voucher to spend of shoes! I think that one thing to remember is that that a lot of competitions have closing dates that are really far in the future so although it seems like you have entered a lot a lot of them are still running and haven’t announced their winners yet. Ultimately there isn’t much you can do apart from enter a lot – it’s all down to luck.
If you have a talent for creative writing or photography etc then you will have a better chance if you enter those. As a general rule, the more effort you have to put in to enter, the fewer people will bother.Won: Subscription to four four two magazine! A sachet of waterproofing agent for leather (not so excited about that one); BOGOF Greggs coffee, £20 redfoot shoe voucher,

I seem to be having a slow start to the year as well:( so far this year I've only won a cbeebies cd from netmums which is better than nothing I guess lol:o
I was just wondering if peeps tend to win more from the daily, weekly, monthly comps or the ones posted on the main board?
I complete all the comps due to end the next day on the main board but I just don't seem to have enough hours in the day to complete the dailys etc?
Blinking kids take up far to much time lol;)Nothing to report:p0
