Hi I started comping at the end of August and have entered hundreds of comps and no win at all.
Any tips?
Should I give up? :-(

That is only 2-3 weeks ago, many of the comps you entered may not have ended yet or have ended but not been drawn, it is just luck of the draw
If your not in it then you can never win it
I have not won anything since July, but could never just stop as you don't know whats around the corner...0 -
Great advice - and well worth following! It seems to be about three things - volume (entering enough comps to win things) , persistence (not giving up in dry spells); and a sense of humour and proportion (recognising that it is often a game of chance!).
But the knowledge that today may bring something lovely is worth the pain......! Good luck!Still cracking on....

So many new compers seemed to have started in the last year so I think you should give upthanks to all posters
I've changed my facebook username to NOBODY so when I enter FB comps I press the "Like" button it will say NOBODY likes this0 -
It took me a month and a half to win my first comp, and that was only a week ago. Don't give up!! It's entirely possible (:0

Took me something ridiculous like 6 months - maybe more - but the point is I'm doing it for fun/to pass the time/to take my mind off other shizz and right at the start I decided that if it ever caused me stress I'd ditch it. I've had a few wins which is always nice so keep at it if you're enjoying it.0

You need determination, stamina and a positive attitude to succeed in the comping world - so in other words - keep going and don't give up, enter as many competitions as you can and believe you will be lucky soon!
:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0
