    Hi & welcome.
    Have a read of the first bit of this: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/1014121

    Plus this: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/Competitions-comping-win

    Main ideas:

    Separate comping email address

    Use Roboform or Lastpass to fill the forms in.

    Have a separate PAYG mobile for comping.
    I'll pm dalkirst to move this to chat.

    Heya, welcome to the comping world. There are some in depth tutorials on here, I'm sure someone will be able to link you to that will help you start. :)

    I tend to go through the pages and enter competitions I like the prizes of. Once entered you can press the Green Tick so it shows that you've entered it, or the Red Cross if you want to skip it. You can use the 'Thanks' Button to thank people for posting too :)

    Alot of comps now are done on Facebook and twitter, you don't have to enter these but I've personally had good wins from FB Comps.

    I have also made a email address just for compeitions too so my main one doesnt get filled with spam.

    Wish you the best of luck and have fun with it! :D

    Well, everyone has different ways of working through them. Personally, I'd pick a page on this forum and then work back to the most recent, entering whatever competitions take your fancy. Also check out the dailies board for comps you can enter every day. If you have the time! Just depends. As a comping newbie I'd suggest starting here.

    .....and if you do enter Facebook comps that ask you to Like & Share their page, remember to set your post to Public when you share the link, otherwise it will be ineligible.;)

    Good luck :D
