How many competitons do you enter?

Hi folks,

I'm new to the boards member list, though been visiting for a fair while. I've just entered my first few competitions.... and hoping I win one or two. :D

I was wondering how many competitons do you enter? And out of them % of wins?

Heres to wins for all of us. :j:T

    I enter in excess of 100 comps a day, and I have won almost £350 of stuff since January.

    You don't usually start getting wins through right away, it does take persistence & dedication - and always remember that closing dates are sometimes months in front so you don't reap the rewards immediately.

    Happy comping!

    I've just started myself 2 days ago. I'm working my way through the competitions at the back and picking the ones i would like to win. My first day I did 100 or so , about 50 yesterday and Im planing on doing 50 today. I probably wont win any of them but who knows I could win them all.

    I enter about 100 / 150 a day. I have started working forwards from the end [does that make sense!]
    I also filter to find comps ending the next day until I catch up. I have been comping for about 10 weeks and I have won 6 competitions. The posters do a fantastic job! I have managed to post my first comp today.
    Good Luck
