TOP COMPING
TIPS
1. Always read the rules! It is so easy to just enter a
competition but taking the time to read the rules can
save you time and money. A lot of online competitions
allow you to enter every day so obviously if the prize is
something you really want to win then the more entries
you make the more chance you have of winning. On the
other hand some competitions only allow one entry per
household so it can be easy to void your entry by
entering more than once.
2. Set up an e-mail address just for entering online
competitions, that way you don't clutter up your regular
e-mail address with all the newsletters etc. that you
have to subscribe to just to enter a comp.
3. Enter as many competitions as you can, obviously the
more you enter and the more chance you have of winning.
REMEMBER the only competition you have no chance of
winning is the one you don't enter!
4. Check out your local library and cinema for free
promotional postcards, for entering those off line
competitions.
5. The hardest competition's to enter are usually the
easiest to win, this is because if a tie-breaker, long
form or hard questions are involved many people just
cannot be bothered to enter and so the odds of a win are
better.
6. ALWAYS enter the tie-breaker type competition. Some
big prizes are won by the silliest of tie-breakers. Even
if you THINK you are no good at tie-breakers make an
effort and enter - yours may be the only one!
7. With the amount of forms you have to fill out entering
online competitions it is worth downloading an automatic
form filler. Our favourite is RoboForm Also worth having is Type It In this one will fill in all your
details in e-mails. For more information on these and
other useful comping links check out our Comper's
Toolkit page.
8. If you find when entering an online comp that the pop
up box with the entry form in will not let you get far
enough down the screen to the submit button (this seem's
to happen to me a lot) press the F11 button on the top of
your keyboard and the box will be made to fit your screen
as if by magic!!!
