    I enter 250+ a day
    I average about £300 a month in prizes - last month was my best ever with over 35 wins worth over £7,000 :-)

    The more you enter the more you win - I have most luck with instant wins/hourly/daily comps and facebook/twitter/blog comps.

    Can I just ask, where do you find them all??

    Just a question for the people who enter 100s per day - do you only enter from MSE? I enter all the ones I'm interested in and only end up entering about 30-50 per day. Do you enter nearly everything (big and small)?

    Yasmin, you'll win something else soon - I'd love to win a spa break - one of those things I don't want to spend my hard earned on but would still love to indulge!

    I only enter comps on MSE because most competitions end up on here anyway, and I don't want to enter somewhere else, forget I've entered, enter again and disqualify myself.

    I only really enter competitions for things that I want/OH wants/could give to friends and family.

    I rarely enter competitions for gig/festival tickets as my disabilities mean that I wouldn't be able to go and I like to give others a chance who really could go. :)

    I do all the daily ones in the morning - with the facebook daily ones thats about 30-40
    Then throughout the day I do twitter and facebook ones - normally about 70-100 a day there (on a fridays there's easily double that)

    In the evening I do all the MSE one's ending the next day with prizes I actually want so maybe 40-60

    Then I'll pop over and check loquax, coffeebreakwinner, mycomps, simply prizes and search for blog comps - I normally find and extra 50 a so a day doing this.
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)

    Now THATS dedication!! I think I'd get bog-eyed if I sat entering competitions for all that time. I just do the MSE part of your day (40-60 in the evening) and a couple on Facebook, and even that drives me a bit crazy at times!

    I bet you win some amazing things! :j

    Same here. I enter between 30 and 100 a day depending on what prizes I'd actually want to try my hand at winning. I leave the stuff I'd have no use for to others to win.

    The dailies aren't something I usually try, mainly because I find the dailies topic a mess and I have no idea what to enter really. :/

    Any tips with the dailies, anybody?

    The dailies are awesome, I have had quite a few wins from them including a flip cam from the snail race. Definately take take to look through them, gather a system and go go go!

    I do all mine in about 10-15 mins early in the morning using three tabs, one loading in each one (Around 25/30 dailies/instant) that I have bookmarked by end date so I can just delete them when finished - and I check the daily thread each day for updates.

    Do the same with weeklies once a week in the evening, I enter some from Facebook, some from twitter (If I get time) but mostly from MSE. Around 100+ an evening if I have a few hours.

    I only enter ones I want to win. Good luck, keep going. You wont win if you don't enter.
    Wishing you all good luck!
