September’s here and so a new comping month begins. Although it’s always the same routine, finish month end (normally tearing hair out to get it done in time) and starting the new month off slowly, I’m sure we all look forward to the possible wins ahead. It’s my birthday this month so I’m hoping for a big win, fingers crossed.
Nothing is guaranteed in the comping world but I do generally find the more I enter the more I win. Having a Facebook and Twitter account help for accessing those quick competitions and the more adventurous
of us can enter skill based competitions where more effort is required. I personally haven’t got round to doing these yet. Yes, the prizes are bigger and better but having the time to make a movie or create a Pinterest Board is something I don’t have the time for whilst working full-time and entering regular competitions.
For those of you who haven’t got into comping yet here are a few tips on how to get started….
Comping is free on most sites and take little effort to sign up. I use the following:
- The Prize Finder
- Competitions4Free
- MSE Competition Forums
- Twitninja
- Loquax
All links to these sites are at the bottom of my blog page.
Facebook competitions are usually the easiest to enter with Like and Share competitions, Rafflecopter and Sweepstakes. Always check the terms and conditions. You don’t want to win a prize only to find you’ve not met the requirements. Some of these may not be valid to UK residents whilst others specify 1 entry only.
Twitninja takes the hassle out of finding Twitter competitions and re-tweets on your behalf.
If you use Google Chrome you can adjust your settings to Auto-fil Web forms. Simply go to Settings/Advanced/Passwords and Forms and click Enable Auto-Fil and Manage Auto-fil settings. Enter your details and next time you enter a competition it should fill your details in automatically.
Enable Auto-fill to fill in web forms in a single click. Manage Auto-fill settings
Offer to save passwords I enter on the web. Manage saved passwords
Downloading Roboform is another way to quickly enter your details.
Whatever site you decide to use and no matter how much time you invest, a win will come eventually.
Good Luck!
