Comp newbie advice/tips

Options
Hi all,

Have decided to give comping a go this year. Have always meant to but just never got around to it, mostly due to my own laziness lol.

So, for a total comp newbie does anyonw have tips or advice?

Do you just do the comps here> Or are there other sites?

Do you enter anything and everything or just stuff you'd actually like to win?

Are there things to avoid?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thank you.
Sigless

    hi & welcome :)

    not sure if you've seen our guide
    (apologies if you have):o
    there's lots of advice & help with answers to some of your questions in it if it helps.. :)

    Sticky:Comping Guide - Getting Started & Other FAQs (multipage.gif1 2 3 ... Last Page)



    Do you just do the comps here> Or are there other sites?

    I enter comps on this site & a few others :)
    you just need to keep a track of your entries so you don't 'dupe' on any :)

    Do you enter anything and everything or just stuff you'd actually like to win?
    I enter for majority of stuff as always find a good home for the prizes :j if any prize gets doubled they go to raffles & charity places to help raise funds


    Are there things to avoid?
    on the spam list in the comping guide

    lots of good luck x
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    Advice

    Run now before you get sucked in; it's too late for me but you can still save yourself...
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
