Competition Time.

I don't think I have mentioned this before but I am a 'Comper' I absolutely love to enter competitions and the thrill of getting a win never gets boring!

I have a routine that I follow, Twitter first, then a quick look at the Facebook competitions and then over to look for Gleam or Rafflecopter and Blog competitions.  

Some are easier to find than others with the Money Saving Expert Site being a popular choice with lots of compers. You can find so many competitions on there to enter and you can add any you find too and really get into the community spirit. Join Facebook groups so that you can find more competitions.

So did I win?

Finding out if I am a winner?

How do I search to see if I won?

Of course anyone can enter competitions but how do you find out if you have won?

Usually the promoters will send you a winning email (WEM) 

Or you could get sent a Facebook message, you may even get a winning telephone call (WTC) or a tag and this is where Facebook groups come in handy. Being an active member in groups allows others to notice if your name gets mentioned on a winning comp, they can then 'tag' you in it or let you know by posting in the groups. 

You can also search for wins yourself in Google or by using Social Searcher -

If I type in "winner OR winners" "Jade Missy Evans" these are my results.

With Google you can customise your search by clicking on Search Tools and changing the search time. I will add photos of this soon.

and using the same format -

"winner OR winners" "Jade Missy Evans"

You can also search on 

http://www.social-searcher.com/

Try it yourself by copying and pasting what I searched by delete my name and add your own.

Play about with the wording too, try congrats, congratulations, even drum roll! 

You can also search for your Twitter or Instagram handles (names) too in the same way.

Comping is a time consuming hobby but it is fun and who knows what you will win!

Entering competitions isn't only limited to magazines, newspapers and radios anymore, you can pretty much find competitions anywhere you look!

It's meant to be fun so if you find that your not enjoying it, take a little break and come back and try again when you feel ready and don't get disheartened if you don't win straight away, it's a competitive world (excuse the pun) but you will win ... Think positive!

I have won so many great things in my three years of comping and wouldn't give it up for anything.

My recent wins have included some lovely books from Sainsburys with a Twitter competition they held, toys from a Gleam competition being held on a blog, even Chocolate sauces with a Facebook competition. I will have to upload some photos and also some links to good competitions ;) x
