New to comping, any advice?

CupofTea

Hiya,

I have won a few small comps in the past but not really been heavily into it. I want to start comping for specific prizes for things I need that I can't afford right now.

I have a email set aside for comping but the negative is I tend to forget to check it. Is it better to have a separate email? I noticed even when I untick being subscribed, I tend to get a lot of junk mail which puts me off checking my inbox as it gets overwhelming and I wonder how all these companies (even genuine ones) have got hold of my email ad.

I cannot think of a lot of tips to add but as separate email is a good idea.

Other than that it is just a numbers game in the end.
