How NOT to Win Competitions and Sweepstakes + a Competition for Aussies

Seriously folks, there is no way I will be having some exciting new prize rock up to my doorstep this month!
Time just seems to be getting more and more scarce lately, which really sucks with this hobby. The truth is, if you don’t make time to enter competitions, then you simply don’t win….
I’ve entered about 6 competitions all week, and to give you some idea, I would normally enter at least 15 per DAY! When I am hitting particularly hard because I am motivated, I might even enter up to 30……..
So what have I been doing? Well I’ve actually been spending the day trying to get organised. The worst thing about getting organised is that it takes time, and when you are already behind on everything, it’s tempting to give up… but, there’s light at the end of the tunnel, I’ve cleaned up lots of the junk sitting around on my laptop, streamlined my emails, a few websites I look after, and even set myself up a new diary specifically to track my competition entries and closing dates etc.
As of tomorrow, I will start writing a new series on Word or Less competitions, otherwise known as slogan or tie breaker competitions or contests. These are the competitions that require you to provide an creative answer in order to have a chance of winning.
For Aussies reading this, here’s one that I am going to enter, I just have to figure out what I want to write!!!
Head over to Mindfood Magazine where you have the chance to win a mobile phone and lots of other great prizes!!!
These guys run competitions regularly, so definately a site to bookmark and head back to ![]()














Mmm…the ever elusive time. I’m desperately trying to clean my feral house today. Can you tell? LOL.
Well you have truly inspired me! I went grocery shopping the other day and scoured the store for competition entrys..I bought products that I normally wouldnt just so I could enter the competition. Now I just have to make sure I do actually enter….
@ Lightening - I do the same kind of cleaning all the time LOL!! Somehow the computer just seems so much more fun
@ Sowing The Seeds - I’m so glad you’re taking a chance and entering….. your comment has inspired me to write a 10 must know things for entering competitions post…. coming in just a few minutes…. essential reading for anyone wanting to start entering, especially supermarket or “purchase required” competitions…..
GOOD LUCK
being organised is over rated…………. well that’s my excuse anyhow lol!!
