Am I doing something wrong?

I think I'm entering about 100-200 a week now on average and I've just had my first win since November (£40 ish babygym? - I have no baby) and this one was a Rocks & Co Pendant which is worth probably about a week's wages for me.

I quite like being able to enter age-specific ones, local ones and things like student ones where smaller groups can enter - not that it's helped me lately!

It really does just come down to luck and more people are entering comps now too after Martin mentioned it in his MSE newsletter.

I've only won a Pedometer this month so far which is one of my worst months but I keep going because I love the anticipation that a surprise win might come through my letterbox or a WEM.

It's a matter of searching for low entry competitions, you can find lots if you put the effort into it.

What do you search for?! I can't imagine you'll want to tell me this since the whole point is they're low entries :P I've been searching today though and can't find any like this...

Search for things you like. Such as 'books, ipad, dresses, Gardening equipment' (Your interests) I search for things in my local area, so I'll search for the independent shops and boutiques

If you are willing to spend time sifting through a lot of spam, you can find some lovely start-up companies running competitions. If you search ALL, and various # you can come up with some

I won a runner up prize as the girl only had 4 entries! That was a #mothersday one. And it was pages and pages down. If you scroll down you can find comps people have skimmed over.

Search various hashtags, freebie, win, comp you know the normal things comps come up with!

Hope that gives you an idea (or helps sort of) I spend a LOT of time on twitter. x

Thanks nelie, I guess it's just being willing to put a lot of time in trawling through pages!
