I'm a massive fan of Amazon from its book store beginning right through to cds, dvds, household goods to now the never ending product list! I can't think of much that you can't purchase from Amazon or its many selected sellers.

Anyway enough of me gushing about the mighty Amazon and back to the prizes!

Closing soon we have a £150 voucher for Amazon - so make sure you enter before its too late.

Have a wonderful Easter break, put your feet up and relax.

Goodbye Star Winner

Today was the last of the Daily Star Winner prize draw on Win4now.

I've heard on the grapevine that something new and much more exciting will replace it soon! Watch this space.

The Prize Draw Industry 7 Years On

This is my longest ever job at 7 years working for Win4now (I'm 30), and over those years I've witnessed a lot of changes within the prize draw & competition industry as well as the Internet as a whole.

When I first joined the Win4now team there were not many other prize draw websites around in the UK; just a few sites like Myoffers and Offersx. We all look allot different to what we did back then!

I remember only a few prize draw portals; (sites that just have links to hundreds of sites that have a prize draw on them) The Prize Finder, MrsFreebie? and Loquax and hardly any prize draws on other websites you see on your daily surf.

Nowadays nearly every website I go on from: clothing retailers, women's interest sites, magazines, car sales to even crisp manufacturers! hosts either their own prize section or has links to other companies - even Win4now's. The UK prize draw market is over saturated.
Social marketing has taken form too with a mixture of 'compers' (as they are fondly refereed too) sharing competition links and companies promoting their own competitions on forums, Twitter, Facebook & much more.

But looking back I ask you; which era do you prefer?
Prize draws everywhere or prize draws only on specialist sites? The juries out.

A Recipe To Win Prizes

This is my fun Recipe to winning prize draws and competitions online.

1. Preheat your computer to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and load up Win4now

2. Add all of your ingredients into the registration page pan & stir until golden brown.

3. In the same pan, add a competition of your choice.

4. Choice from a selection of offers & questions to add to your pan. Add the stock and a pinch of good luck and select the 'Enter Competition' button.

6. Place the casserole into the oven to cook until the prize draw end date.

7. Sit back, relax and keep your fingers crossed.

Or if you would like a real recipe, then I can recommend this hot pot :)

Freebie Hunters Use Technology To Win In 2010 - part 1

Online technology is a freebie hunters friend, don't be scared of it. Use it wisely because it will save you time & it will help you enter more competitions than manually trawling through old hat prize portals.
You can even stumble across exclusive vouchers & competitions. ( I see these daily on my Twitter feed! Heres an example of a GMTV competition)

How can I use twitter for competition entries?


That's today competition tip is to start investigating twitter.

At first it can be a little overwhelming with hundreds of tweets appearing from all directions and might daunt the more mature comper but stick with it and you'll soon reap the benefits through a little patience and trial and error.

You can access twitter online here, via your iphone using special apps, through widgets on blogs,through free programmes like tweetdeck and even directly on the search engines natural listings.

'Follow' as many celebs & companies as you deem enough to show you interesting links and exclusive prize draws. A useful tip is to find a competition website you know and trust then click onto who they are 'following' and 'follow' all of those people too. Before you know it, you'll be tweeting away with 100's of different compers :)

In order to be completely up to date with the latest voucher code, freebie, free sample, competition and prize draws its vital that freebie hunters in today's online community keep up to date with the latest technologies. Don't be a dinosaur comper; keep up to date :)

Follow Win4now on Twitter, say hi and i'll help you get your bearings.

New Competitions

8 new competitions in Jan for you to enter absolutely free.
Here's the low down:
Win £150 worth of Amazon vouchers where you can buy much more than just books, DVDs and music. Amazon sell pretty much everything nowadays! ( I'm a loyal customer!)

The nights may still be cold and dark, but imagine yourself sitting on a beach in Gran Canaria and knowing that it hasn't cost you a penny to get there!

Do you need a new look for 2010? well you can ditch your old mobile ( sell it online or give to charity I'd actually recommend you do ) and win a Samsung Jet mobile. Very stylish and touch screen.

Or if you have all the material goods that you'd ever need then you could always win a crazy 12,600 calorie giant gummi bear lolly! Surely it's well worth ruining your diet so you can remember the ridiculous day you decided to eat it! Awesome.....


Sneaky peek at the new competitions for Feb; 9 so far ranging from holidays, laptops, vouchers, skydiving to wacky pet prizes!

Remember to answer the advertisements under each competition to help keep Win4now running well into 2011!

Earn cash from unwanted prizes

It's a common perception that some people enter every competition they come across regardless of if they actually want to win the prize and some people only enter competitions that they would really love to win.

Mindsets probably range from thinking that unwanted prizes could be given away to friends/family or sold?
and those not entering either don't have time to enter loads of competitions so optimise their time with only a handful of entries or perhaps a moral decision that they'll leave some prizes to people more thankful? (niche especially)

But there are other options:

1. As we are still in hard financial times why not enter all competitions you see and then choose to give unwanted gifts to:
your local charity shop
freecycle
donate to a school/church raffles
or just sell them on an auction site like ebay?! you could keep the £ or give it away.

2. You could create a compers club swop shop community!

Be thrifty this year and try not to clutter unwanted goods in your house when there are ways to make money out of them or make money for someone else more in need than yourself. 2010 could be your year of community caring.

Hello 2010 the year of the lucky comper

I'm feeling refreshed after my Christmas & New Year break in snowy Scotland but I'm tired of the snow now making my commute a nightmare and I feel quite fat! So new year resolutions are to become slimmer & to be more organised in my comping.

It's time to break open a new diary and start compiling my competition entries into a format so I know where I'm up to. This year if I enter more competitions than last year, then I should ( by probability alone) win more prizes for free than ever before.

No longer will I get lottery tickets manually, I've joined online by direct debit so i never miss a draw. I've also joined all the newsletters I can find on websites that have competitions so I never miss a prize draw that ends quickly. Fingers crossed....

Win4now has 17 new prize draws ranging from a Samsung fridge to car seats to bike carriers to Amsterdam holidays to cash vouchers! There's bound to be something there that you would really enjoy winning - and unlike the National Lottery you don't have to pay a penny to enter!

Win4now's motto is 'Don't Buy It, Win It' and that's what I plan to do! Win Win Win.
Go for it and start 2010 with a winning streak :)

ps. How many prizes did you win in 2009? I won 8 prizes via internet competition entries.
