Will I ever win... anything?

Muffy0

Seriously, I've been doing hundreds of comps for near on a month now and have got RSI in my right hand... I'm getting a bit disheartened to be honest, everyday I wait eagerly for the post and not a dickybird.
I'm starting to think I am just naturally unlucky and should give up. Any one else ever felt like this.. it's starting to seem like a lot of hassle for nowt.

Don't give up...it was 4 weeks til I had my first win...then I won a pillow and it took another 4 weeks to arrive!
I've been getting something most weeks since then!
Patience!!!
Sign up for some freebies too, then at least you'll have something to open!

I have a google toolbar on my firefox thingy that has autofill, I did look at roboform but I wasn't sure whether it would be much different. I still have to amend a lot of stuff with the autofill on the toolbar so sometimes it's not worth using.

It took about a month for me to get my first prize and I'm now getting a couple wins a week. I would estimate I enter approx 50 - 100 online comps a day and about 5 - 10 postcard competitions a week.

I start off my day by entering the comps ending thread. I then go through the dailies/weeklys threads. Throughout the day I'll then visit the main forum to enter new comps that have been posted. I also have a search around online to see if I can find any comps that haven't already been posted.

I'd agree with the roboform recommendation as it makes entering comps so much easier.

Don't give up.

So it's worth entering these as well? I wasn't sure because of the price of stamps (I'm not a tight-!!!! really)

It took me a good few months before any wins started rolling in, but it's definitely worth it once they start coming. I'd say keep at it as much as possible because you'll definitely start to see the results!

Well....I haven't won from any postcard comps yet (although I did when I was a comping addict 5/6 years ago). I only enter postcard comps for items I really want to win and with plenty of time left so that I can use 2nd class stamps!

Enter all the ones where there are loads of prizes. If there's 1000 prizes you have a good chance of winning and that will cheer you up!
