    Hi T--J, i`m new to entering competitions and have noted your previous good wins, can you advise me how many comps will i need to enter in order to have a chance of a win, in otherwords can i be cheeky and ask you how many comps do you approx enter each week.I obviously know that the more you enter the better your chances but i wondered whether you or others do this as a full-time job so to speak. I hope to learn how to post some comps myself but at the moment this site is still confusing so i`m still getting used to it. Anyhow,i`m going to try my luck....hope you continue to have further good wins,thanks Sarah. :)

    Hi jubilee

    I've never really sat & worked it out but I probably average somewhere between 30 & 50 per day which takes me an average of 3 hours. I think this is quite low compared to some people because I only enter things I really want or know a relative/friend wants. Its defintely a numbers game because win rates are really low and some months it can be really hard to keep up the motivation when you're just getting just 1 or 2 small wins but I'm having an extremely lucky year so far! :eek: :j

    Good luck with your comping & hope you get lots of lovely wins coming through soon! :D
