How many competitions do you enter a day?

Options
Hi all, i hope this is allowed in this section. I am on a dry spell but my last win was a biggie! I enter around 50 a day, normally when the small people in this house are napping & i was just wondering how many you all do? x

    I enter all the competitions ending at the end of each month that i can see. eg - beginning of march i will go through and enter everything that ends in march. Im not sure if doing it this way means i miss out on alot of competitions or not? i do occasionally check back incase i can see any new ones with that end date. I do it this way so i dont get too confused with which ones ive entered and have somthing to do at the beginning of each month, i always thank as an indicator.

    people who enter 50-100 each day must be doing them for whenever as far as end dates are concerned? im not much of an expert lol! If anyone has any tips let me know :)
    comp wins to date: L'Occitane atfersun balm, ipod nano, Philadelphia cookbook, peroni bottle opener, 2x vodkat cocktail kits, st heilers t shirts,dorset cereals, Fru voucher, virgin trains teddy bear.
    :beer: Thanks to all comp posters! Good luck to everyone! xxx

    i enter comps by what is added today, then if i have time go through the likeability ones to see what i have missed and then lastly i go through an end date. then if i have time i put a search in for florida, USA, ipad, kindle, london, spa, cruise, fridge, dishwasher to see what i have missed. i dont usually do many dvd comps unless they are all on the same page and dont need much effort to enter them.

    id love to see how other compers sort their entries out
    Just about to give up!

    I enter 100+, I work full time so it is possible. I used to enter by end by date and be a couple of days ahead of the current date however I switched to entering by newly posted comps last August. It doesn't take that long to go through ALL the comps on the main forum and enter them (takes 1/2 days I would say), I did this when I was banned from work because I had the mumps. And once that's done you're up to date!!! I tick entered on everything (entered or not) as it makes it so much easier to see where I've got to, and I use the 'New Topic View'. I much prefer this way to comping than end-by-date comping as you can easily miss a day or two and will barely miss out on any comps (only one's ending that day or the next!).
    2009 Wins = £833
    2010 Wins = £6,597
    2011 Wins = £7,083

    £2,012 in 2012 = £450/£2,012
    20 in 2012 = 4/20
  • Hi i am also glad of the advice. I work full time too and try to enter at least 30 a day. I dont use robo so its quite time consuming but im starting to get into a bit of a routine and more familiar with the better comp sites.
    I also make sure i thank comp posters and tick entered so i know which ones ive done.
    Im sure others have a much quicker and efficient system than me.
    Its very very addictive!!
    If we all took an eye for an eye the world would be blind-(someone said that somewhere) :T

    Wins Cheltenham tickets, edible garden show tickets +£25 voucher, underground disco C.D (comping since feb2011)
    Thank you all competition posters!

    I tend to look through all the fresh one's posted for that day, or over a couple of days if i've not been on, then every now and again, like last Sunday I was bored stupid and worked through the whole 200 odd pages of comps and found loads I hadn't entered and still days left on them.
    So far as per signature i've only won a proof copy of one of my fave authors new book, although to me it's fairly priceless. oh and a download movie!

    But as my old gran used to say 'you have to be in it to win it'
    Thanks to all the competition posters.
