  • Yesterday I entered 301. I usually average 250 ish a day. I usually sort the forum by end date and make sure all that I want to enter are entered at least 1 day before closing date. I took a break from comping for a couple of years, and just got back into it a couple of weeks ago, and I have already entered 2357 in those two weeks. Amazing how they all mount up. Out of those I have already won 5 items, - not such a bad return rate :)
  • I've started comping 100% today, i've tried a few times in the past but got disheartened when I didn't win anything.

    How many comps do you enter & how long did it take you to have your first win?
    I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

  • I got through 295 pages of forum posts in 4 weeks and won an item 1 weeks after that so nearly 1 months of constant entries before a win ive won 4 items so far this month mainly small items.


    comp for fun if your expecting wins quickly they might but generally not
    total wins so far 10/52

    2014: £312/£2014 worth of wins :rotfl:

    hello welcome to comping… It really depends to be honest the ratio of how many comps you actually want to do. Its a lot of fun especially when you get a WEM!! Its a lot of effort but very rewarding. Sometimes you will go through months when nothing comes through and you think ahh lets give up but a wem will pop up i.e. tickets to the baftas or a milan trip and its gets that mojo flowing! Good luck and ask anything you need too xx

    I started comping one month ago. I won my first comp within a week.

    I enter perhaps 50 comps per day. I try to enter for things I'd really like to win, no point getting tunnel vision in front of a monitor in order to win a book or lipstick.

    I'm just a part time comper so only enter around 10 a day, if that. I don't have much luck so maybe I need to enter more...I just find I don't have the time though. I tend to enter in lunchbreaks, travelling to and from work - any spare time I have really, which isn't much! Maybe I need to up my game to get some wins in. Do you find the more you enter the more you win?

    Hi

    I read that some of you that do comping do about 900 a day! I'm lucky if I manage 50-100 a day, I was just wondering is it all on this site or are there any others you would recommend?
