How Many Competitions Do You Enter

How do you even find 250 to enter a day...

There is the dailies, then text and postal, monthlies, weeklies, twitter, facebook, then ending today, tomorrow etc.

I spend all evening doing comps, I have MS, so comps is something I can do when suck in bed.

I enter probably about 100/day, that's with working full time. I have the full version of Roboform and it's probably the best money I've spent! Invaluable! When I started comping I kept a spreadsheet (it was the accountant in me!) but after about 3 months I realised what a complete waste of time that was!

I usually sort the comps by end by date, and am usually two days ahead for example tonight I'll be entering comps ending 07/08. I then sort them by most recently posted, I do anywhere bewteen 1 and 15 pages of comps then depending on how busy I am with other things.

To do this, do you just type E:05/08 in to the search box?

I was just doing 05/08, but the search results you get back tend to include items with 05 or 08 in the title. I'm now doing what GeorgeBee does.

For example, today I ordered by end date then jumped to about page 180 where the comps ending on 08/08 ended (then work backwards). Obviously if other comps get added during the day it will move a bit...

When I started comping at the begining of last month I entered 100's and 100's everyday untill I got to the end of all the posts! The house work suffered that week I can tell ya

Now I just enter them as they're posted, I make a note of what time the last comp I entered was posted and start from there and work my way through untill I'm up to date. Oh, and I do all the dailies aswell and I'm just started to learn about twitter comps. I don't really know how many I do! lol

I don't enter ticket comps unless I know I can get there, and I don't enter for holidays as I don't have a passport ummm, I don't enter for weddings either, but apart from that, I enter them all!

I enter about 100 a day and I work full-time. I enter them each day as they are posted or go back to when I was last on (keep a record). I only enter things I want or friends, family would like as presents or things I could possibly sell. I don't do hardly any of the ticket ones (which there is a lot at the moment). Had some great wins recently - best ones £1800 Longines Watch and a trip to New York.

I enter all the ones I want to ....so I work methodically through the list! I don't enter things I dont want, or regional ones. I work part time and also have two toddlers...and just about fit it all in! I'm a wee bit behind right now though (30 pages or so! hahaha!)

Remember though...just because you enter more, doen't mean you will win. You have greater odds of winning something, but not nec what you want!! There's not point doing this unless you enjoy it.

No probs! Would be good if I could enter that many a day, I'd surely win something then

I started off last November doing aprox 50 but now do about 100 and if I do manage more then I count that as a bonus but on Monday's it can be nearer 200 and it depends if I have to take my hubby out.

To date I've done over 20k this year and not had that many wins but any win how small is a bonus and what's better is the surprise ones that just turn up like I had a week ago from a comp that finished over a month ago ( a kodak printer).

I know it gets depressing seeing people win but there are loads of people doing comps now days.

I only do comps for what I want and so far not managed to win something to give as a present to my nearest or dearest.

Good luck everyone
