    I see lots of you wining prizes everyday! Congrats to you all!! Have you got any tips cos I don't seem to win at all.

    There are actually only 2 steps you need to follow to win:

    1) Enter competition
    2) Repeat step one
  • I agree with everything that has been said on this thread. I have been comping on and off for years. Sometimes I can go 12 months without entering any comps, and then I can enter everything I see for months on end!


    It is definitely a case of - the harder the comp is to enter the easier it is to win. I have had my biggest wins over the years with slogans. Last year I won a £500 Regatta outdoor clothing voucher via a slogan comp on Facebook!


    This year I won a £250 luxury spa hamper via a creative Pinterest comp.


    I have to say though that I get the most number of wins from Twitter. I only started in January and so far have won 14 times, with prizes totalling £327. Of course I have retweeted over 6,000 times in this period to achieve that kind of return, something I do most days on the bus to work!


    In the end it's down to the law of averages, a little bit of luck and, for some comps, a degree of skill. I strongly believe in the laws of attraction and positive thinking, and have a vision board of places I would love to go, and dreams I would like to fulfil, and also have a pinterest board wishlist for prizes. People say that I am lucky, but I do think you generate your own luck.


    Try to avoid thinking about or focussing on NOT winning, because you won't win! Focus on winning, think about winning, celebrate heartily every single win, no matter how small, and guess what? You will keep winning, you will just attract more and more luck to yourself......well that's what I think anyway...lol... whilst some people might choose to believe in God, I choose to believe in the laws of attraction and in positive affirmations....and so far, so good!


    Good luck everyone, and sending you some happy comping karma....xxx

    I'm the same. Been comping most days since Jan and not won a thing.

    But it kills an hour or so every day I'd other wise be bored and I find it fun because I 'might' win.

    So I tend to enter and forget. Check my email once a day. But so far all I've gotten for my efforts is a monumental amount of spam emails.

    Since you've got to be in it too win, I don't mind.
