How to stay safe – Facebook comping hints and tips  

Last week saw many compers getting restrictions placed on their Facebook accounts which prevented them from liking or following new pages. It was a bit of a pain to be honest as some promoters ask you to like their page to enter a competition so it made it difficult to enter any new competitions. However, this does actually go against Facebook guidelines so we could have been paying the price for companies that ask us to do this. There are however a few things you can do to help prevent this from happening in the future:

 

1)     Try to only enter app-based comps on Facebook; ones that don't require you to share. The more content you share, the more Facebook seems to see this as spam.

2)     Alternatively enter the competitions that only require you to like/comment on a status for a page you already like.

3)     Give Facebook comps a miss every few days and pop lots of 'normal' personal statuses and photos on there.

4)     If you enjoy social media comping, head on over to Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest etc.

5)     Go to the Simply Prizes website where you'll find lots of email, postal and web based comps which should keep you busy!

 

As we head into the latter part of Spring and the weather seems to be getting warmer I’ve found some lovely little comps that will help you to enjoy the great outdoors. Yeo Valley has a £1,500 voucher to spend with Blue Chip holidays – they’ve got a vast array of places across the UK which would make a great base for exploring different areas. Enter here before midnight on 30^th April.

 

Biscuiteers are giving away a £350 voucher to spend at Graham & Green where you can get some perfect accessories for your outdoor living space. Not only that, but there will be two runners-up prizes who will each receive a £75 voucher. Submit your details here before 30^th April.

 

Jacobs Creek is giving away a hamper of goodies. It’s full to the brim with wine and delicious snacks so it’ll be perfect to enjoy outside in the sunshine. Simply enter your details here before 10^th May to get your name in the draw.

 

I’ve been spending lots of time in the garden over the last few weeks and I’ve spotted some great gardening tips on MyFamilyClub that could help save you time and money. They’ve listed some good ones and it’s a great way to spend time outdoors and get the rest of the family involved too.

 

The Sun £15 summer holidays deal is back and you have until 8^th May to collect 5 tokens from the printed newspaper before you can book your holiday online. Alternatively you can join Sun+ for their half price offer of £9.99 for three months and book your holiday without having to collect any tokens.

 

Free Comic Book Day falls on Saturday 2^nd May and if you’re a comic fan then you’ll be able to claim a free copy of selected issues at local stores across the UK. Take a look here at the Free Comic Book Day website and use their store locator to find a shop near you.

 

That’s it for this week, but I’ll be back next Wednesday with some more great comps and special offers. Stay lucky!
