  • I probably do 50-100 per day or until I get fed up which ever happens first lol

    I also only do the ones I am genuinly interested in winning, generally any childrens comps, holidays, cash, electricals, houses (cant wait to find out who wins the country cottage in France think that one is ending soon!!)

    Even though I do quite a lot I have not won many and no real biggies as yet but I enjoy entering them and checking my emails to see if I have won any lol!!
    2008 - £6,000.00, 2009/10 - Didn't comp
    Back and hoping in 2011!
    Thank you to all posters!

    If you enter 100 comps per day would you say its worth it?

    I suppose it must be otherwise you wouldnt do it ... would you?

    I love doing competitions especially when winnings come in, I agree that if it became a chore I would give up, but looking through the I won forum is great to see what others win.

    I am having a dry spell at the mo (putting it down to no competitions done for 3 wks while I was on holiday), but they will soon come trickling through. You have to persist, it is the luck of the draw after all.

  • Wow, after reading all these messages about how often you enter competition I think I will start as from today. Thanks guys.
  • Hi there, feeling stupid here but can only see where you subscribe to the forum and not the thread. Where are the thread tools as I can only see the forum tools?
    Thanks....
  • I do about 50 a day now, sometimes a few more, sometimes less. When i Started in May i was doing more like 100 but I realised I was spending way to much time on them and I stopped enjoying it! Now I am in the right zone where I just fit them in when I can and I enjoy it a lot more now :)

    You need to be 'in' a thread to be able to easily subscribe to it :)

    Why not take a look at the Comping Guide, Getting Started (II) section, item
    2 How do I keep track of which comps I’ve entered? then you can look at screen shots & follow the instructions in there :)
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:
