System

Hi guys. I’ve just come back to comping again as I’m on maternity leave now..
I’m really sorry because I know this question must have been asked so many times but what is everyone’s system of working through the comps? And how do you keep up to date with it all?
At the moment I’m just entering the ones a day in advance but I’ve seen a lot that are entered weeks ahead?
How do you all get time for it all and to do the dailies as well.
Any ideas would be much appreciated xxx

    Hi, I have less time these days to comp some ways I do it are:


    Enter and forget.
    Do not set targets ie do not try & enter everything.

    Hey, I'm currently off work after surgery so have 5 weeks of not being able to walk (that means lots of free time - not as good as it sounds!)


    I pick a day a week in advance and enter all the comps I REALLY want to win - TV, Snowbaording, outdoor activity ones.
    Then I'll go to the end of the month and maybe do about 20/30.
    Then I'll enter all the ones ending today.

    I can't be bothered to do daily entries/Mag dailies or click to wins.

    I know the advents are coming up so at the min I'm working my way through the comps in December that I want.

    Not too fussed though - but as I can't do anything at the moment, I've entered most of the board - Which means it will be easier when I'm back at work to keep up to date with new ones added.

    My advice would be not to enter the comps posted straight away - theres been a few issues with search and you don't want to dupe yourself.


    Good Lucky with your comping adventure!
