Competitions - The Book - 3rd Edition
I'm extremely excited to announce that Competitions - The Book's 3rd Edition is almost ready to be launched.
Changes to the 1st and 2nd Edition are significant, with extra winning tips, and one special new one that I want you to try.
There have been a number of books written on the subject of competitions, and countless articles. So, why do I think Competitions - The Book stands out?
I believe it helps that I'm an industry insider, and not a comper. I don't give a lot of opinions, I observe numbers and activities.
Looking back at the emails received over the past eight years, I'm even more confident that Competitions - The Book will produce even more winners. Sure, comping is a fun activity, but actually winning stuff makes it a bit more interesting.
I'll keep you posted on the launch date, but in the meantime feel free to comment on what 'Competitions - The Book' has done for your comping. I'd love to hear from you!
Yours Comp-letely,

Keep trying!
Don't give up, and think you won't win
Keep on trying, and you will grin!
Deb (Member Number: 894)Keep Entering
It's a game of skill, luck, chance.
But you never know when you will win.
Me I've won a few things. And am always on the lookout for that next competition. Do get annoyed when I buy something and comp is already finished but that is the luck of the draw. You win some and lose some.
