I am new to thread, posting and the other stuff, but I was just wondering how many competitions people do a day or week? and whether they still find it exciting.. the prospect of 'winning'. thank you

I was wondering the same thing. I've just started to enter competitions. Not expecting to win anything, but i'm bored as i was in a car crash a few weeks back so i can't sleep because of the pain. Instead of spending money online (which i don't have) i thought i'd try and win stuff instead. Lol. Hope many competitions are you entering and have you won anything yet??

It all depends on time, personally I believe the more you enter the more you win but of course you need that all important luck factor too, I was bored recently so did a little mini experiment with Twitter and comps I entered my a*** off for about a week or 10 days, I was retweeting the same comps probably 5 times a day, it worked though I won quite a bit very quickly including a sat nav (which hasnt turned up yet:() but I cant sustain that now I have other things on the go so I just stick to the main board comps on here(I only use MSE), I dont have time for the majority of dailys, monthlys etc anymore either but I do manage to enter about 50+ comps a day and I win quite a bit:D - good luck:DThank you for this site MartinThe time for change has comeGood luck for the future0

I've only been comping 2 months and won a few little things but have been extremely lucky this week and won a holiday. I enter about 100 a day but give myself the weekends off. All wins are exciting to me and I only enter things I would like or could give to close friends or family. Personally I think it's well worth entering the dailys and I only enter from MSE. Good luck hope you have some good wins soon xTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover0

I do as many as possible. Somedays this means anywhere between 50 and 200 and other days this means none at all. I enter alot on Facebook and twitter. I dont generally enter blog competitions. I dont enter for tickets unless they are for themeparks. You have to find a balance on whats right for you. I just cant get through them all so I do what I can when I can.
Just do as many as you can and make sure you have a form filler and also a signature with your address set up on email. Makes it easier. Good luck. xxTotal 2019: £3972 - Best win this year £3000
2018 total £4062/2017 total £2260/ 2016 total £2025/ 2015 total £3809.0 -
I enter about 50 to 100 per day and I get very excited about every win. Good luckMany thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A0

I've been thinking about this too. I started entering comps regularly about a week ago and I can manage to enter 40-60 a day and I don't enter for anything I don't want.
My wins have been small so far but I'm crossing my fingers for a big one soon!Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :-)
