New to Comping

Hi all.
Just taken the plunge to register to the Forum.
I've started the 'Compin' hobby for about a week and looking forward to seeing if I get anything in return. A lot of people seem to get some decent prizes so I thought I would try my luck!
Im not expecting much if im being honest but with the tools on the web, filling out competitions isn't much of a problem and I've entered myself already into 300+ and still going strong. I was wondering if anyone could give me any hints & tips? or maybe how long after you started did you get your first win?
I've always been told that nothing in life is free so anything I do get is a bonus (Even if it's only a penny sweet!)
Finally, Hello to everyone! - This community seems very welcoming and I'm looking forward to being apart of it

Thank you.
That post was a good read. I see you have been on here for a few years, how is your luck? Is it worse now that more people are doing it or is it better now because there are more comps?0 -
it's worse as more and more are doing it as what some see as a route to make money
they soon get bored0 -

hi, my lucks just about the same as it's always been,
I have a steady flow of wins quite regularly,
some weeks you can go without a win then sometimes 2/3
come together,
I see it as lots have always entered comps & lots will still do,
some stick at them, some don't,
they'll always be new comps, more comps,
new members, new peeps,
some stay, some go,
the more the merrier I think,
it's just the fun of comping & looking forward to what you may win for me :j
wishing you lots of good luckplease be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly.0
