How do you win?

Hi

I was reading this section with great interest when it came to me, how do you actually win as I have never won a bean, do you submit to loads of competitions per day or is their something that just gets you noticed when making a competition entry?

Can someone give me some pointers as I would like to win something before they nail the lid shut. :)

    I like to enter the competitions with lots of small prizes - the small wins spur me on to keep on trying for those elusive big wins. ;) Good luck! :)

    think it's total luck. I only enter for what I or family would like to win.

    once you get into the swing of entering the competitions you could also get roboform or Google toolbar both have autofill all you do is fill in your details much faster saves a little time typing ;)

    also, if you press the 'thanks' button, this also stops you entering the same comp twice, cos you can then see a a glance which ones you've entered.

    thanks OP for this post, it has alos helped me, as i, also need my 1st win. been comping since Jan but not won anything yet. i probably enter too many times and i disqualify myself as i never know what i have entered, but do make sure i go down th daily list of comps as i know you can enter these every day.

    question, are all monthly/weekly prizes limited to 1 entry, or can it vary and some let you enter once per day but with only 1 prize per month/year?

    good luck ronben, hope you get a win soon :)
    Thanks to all who post comps :T

    also i think people enter like 50+ competitions a day to get a steady flow. i personally don't have the time, and i don't know where to look to get them! but yeah, good luck.
