I wouldnt mind getting into something like that. What type of things do you win?
Skies the limit Barney with comps! It is so much easier today with their being internet as you have Google for answers and help etc. Alot of comps are online so it saves on postage. You need to do alot per week to win regularly. I average a prize every 3 weeks. Not always big. I enter the small 1's as well as prizes add up.
You get into your own way with too. I have learnt so much about how to in little time per day. It takes on average about an hour a day to enter all. I do between 200-350 comps per week, which works out at 30-45 ish a day.
It sounds alot but it isn't. Like I said on average an hour a day. Just another hobby like going off and playing golf for a day or going to VP which is a day for us, with traveling etc, where we are.
This past year I have won Morrison's shopping voucher, Asda shopping vouchers and gift tokens, £100 in cash, quite a few DVD's, Craft products, handbag, Cabin trolley bag, Nintendo Wii (Grandson Christmas present) um um cuddly toy, cuddly toy, beauty products, Amazon vouchers, Hair products and a free hairdo at a posh hairstylist in York LOL.
There is loads of short cuts and ways to do comps to keep time minimum on it, so it is just part of your daily life and doesn't take over.
I have an address book I keep passwords in for all the sites, a note book and I mark up every comp I enter with closing date so I can check back if I am unsure if I have entered a comp or not. Um um what else?
Plenty of postcards, always have a book of 2nd class stamps. What else? You learn to clear you Twitter & Facebook accounts down weekly/fortnightly of likes and follows from the comps you have entered so you can keep on top of your newsfeeds.
Too enter this amount you need to be in a comp club/s. If you want the details of what I use P.M me and I send you the details.
Do it as fun. It is not a hobby that makes you money in that sense. Just nice to beable to either get a nice letter, a phone call or an e-mail saying you have won. Anticipation of getting the post now is far better.
Of-course I hope for the big 1 1 day, depending what you call the big 1. Very few money comps around now. They are mainly voucher comps, actual prizes.
I have access to FB/Twitter comps, coffee break daily comps, weekend comps, monthly, weekly, short term, long term comps and various.
You have to like and be an organizer to do them. I also look at comps in a way of who would like this if it is something I don't want.
I have given comp wins away to friends too, like craft gifts as that isn't my cup of tea. It also helps the stocking fillers too. LOL.
Like I said inbox me if you want more details of whom to use, etc. Oh and you do get the answers to various comps too. Though obviously not to tie-breaker comps etc.
Like I said I am happy to share the tools I use for comping with you various websites to help etc. etc.
