Okay how many comps are you all doing a day/week?

I've just stumbled on this board and frittered away three hours entering some.

Just so I get an idea for you regular winners, how much time do you dedicate to this?

Thanks

    If you spend a whole day going from start page to end page entering all the competitions that catch your eye when you first start, then you only have to spend about 20mins each day to catch upith newly posted comps. Thats what I did anyway. I don't know about everyone else? :undecided

  • On average 2-3 hours per day entering between 200-300 per day.

    Read the comping guide and follow the advice in there to optimise your time spent entering comps on here.

    Good luck. :D

    :eek:Ha Ha...you and me both...!;)
  • I probably do about a hour a day, and that's while watching TV, not 100% concentration. It's pretty easy once you get use to how certain companies websites work, robo, etc etc.
  • I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find enough hours just to catch up with myself recently, so the end of month comps I haven't been entering and I have had a few lovely prizes this month. Ideally I would like 4 hours a day but can usually only find enough time for 2. Good luck :)
