Ive been comping for about two months, ive entered hundreds and hundreds of competitions but ive just had no luck. nothing. not even a teeny tiny win!
Its getting me down and im giving up hope with this
I see so many people having multiple wins a month and i check my emails everyday to just find spam and no winning emails

2 Months in the grand scheme of things is not long.
You will get your win, keep entering until the end of the month if you are still happy to do so. If you've entered as many comps as i have ending on 30th of April, you may just get your win.0 -
What competitions are you entering? Lots of the web-entry ones run for several months for high value items and you have a pretty low chance of winning. I only started to win when I began entering Rafflecopters, Click to Wins etc too.0

Sounds like you just need to keep plugging away then - you'll win something eventually!0 -
I enter 200-300 per day. This normally gets me 1-2 small prizes a week. It's a numbers game - the more you enter, the more you win.
You say you've entered hundreds in two months, I've entered around 15,000... For around 10 prizes a month..
If you're feeling disheartened after only a couple of months, this may not be the right hobby for you - the 'dry' periods can last much longer than that.
I enjoy the act of entering, the excitement of thinking about what I'd do with the prize if I won, etc. Winning is just the icing on the already super indulgent cake0 -
I won decent prizes over the past 2 years. Won 5K double glazed windows, 3D 43" tv, Sony mobile, Cheques and many more..
From past 6 months i won nothing. My efforts remained the same. Dry spell is like a passing cloud. Be patient, you never know what's around the corner.Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing0 -
years ago it used to be most of us won on a regular basis on mse but the world of comping has changed so you have just got to be patient if you enjoy it there is not any disapointment just dont expect anything instantly you have good months and others you dont0
