I often get such comments....

"Why did this Blogger, William Tan keep winning in Contests?"

"What! William won a total of 5  iPads, 1 Macbook Air and Trip to Japan etc...."

"Why William always so LUCKY?"

I know a lot of my friends had been asking me why I am always so lucky and keep winning in contests. There were even some friends making fun of me, saying they will not join contest which I joined. But joke aside, the contest's judges are all  fair and everyone deserve a chance to win too.

Why I love to take part in Contest?

Well... Honestly speaking when you join a contest, it is the prize that attracted you to join and that happened to me too. So if the prize really attractive, why not try right.. No harm trying if you have the time to take part. I love the planing and thinking of ideas when joining contest.

So what are my tips in winning?

Hmm... A lot of time you need to be CREATIVE!!!

Go think of something out of the box and you really have to put in 101% heart in doing it.
I remember for Svenson Blogging Contest, I bought Barbie Doll and come up with a romantic story and apparently the judges like my idea and I was awarded my 1st iPad!!! (Click here to read that entry). And I reused the Barbie doll I bought and did another blog post with a story for Kiehl's and that post also won. ( Click here to read more). You too can come up with a better idea  for your contest I guess...

If you decided to take part in a contest,  either you do your best or don't take part at all.

Cause it is going to be a waste of time if you do it half hearted.

There are 3 things I always do when I take part in any contest.

1) UNDERSTAND - You need to know what is the product about and what you need to bring across to the readers or audience.

2) PLAN- Think what you can do creatively and how can you make it easy for your reader to understand.

3) EXECUTE- This part is important. Once you decided on your plan, do it your best. Like I said, if you do it half heartedly, chances of winning is going to be low.

Honestly I don't win in every contests like how some people may think.

No matter, you win or lose just take it easy.

Cause there is always chance next time.
GOOD LUCK!!! =)
