Don't think you have to enter everything (it can be overwhelming at first);
Don't worry if you miss a big one there's plenty more around the corner;
Don't ever feel dishearted if you don't win straight away, stick with it;
There are a lot of comps that finish at the end of the month so try to get through them earlier in the month if you can;
And finally, I hope your first win is a goody! Good luck, happy comping!0 -
Welcome shayal2!
As a relatively new comper, I would say that the advice given is really good. To reinforce sydroo's first two points, it is sometimes hard to keep a perspective: even if you comped for 24 hours you could never enter everything. Some of us get a bit anxious if you "miss a day" - actually it is important to retain a perspective. Strangely it is harder to do this if you actually get some small wins (just one more comp entry......!).
We all comp for different reasons so you will want to understand why you are doing it and to enter comps accordingly. Good luck!Still cracking on....

Thank u all for the useful tips xxxx
Just one question x
I have read that some competitions can throw you out if u enter too many times. So do you recommend just entering once per comp unless otherwise stated?#57Savings : £00.00/ £5,000 Loan - £9, 700 Credit cards - £12,000Over Draft - £1950Total £24,350…Target… to have it all paid up by Xmas 20230 -

hi, yes, always best to read the t&c's,
once is usually the best but some have multiple entries & some are daily x
these you can enter every day
