Competitions Discussion Thread

do all these quizzes. I am trying to win things, if I am honest, to sell as there isn't anything I really NEED, though some things I want.

Anyway, I started doing the links on here, and also look at the Loquax site too. But I don't know whether it is me, but it seems to take ages to do even say 20? And yet I have seen sigs on here of people who have entered 50, 60 comps in one day. So what am I doing wrong?

And I haven't won anything yet either!!:rolleyes:

I had a look at Roboform but wasn't sure how it worked.

I hope someone can give me some pointers
thanks

Yep I seem to spend every minute of my 'spare' time on here doing comps. When I'm not on here I know the comps are building up for me to catch up on when I get back. It's starting to take over my life.

If you use a programme called Autofill on your computer it will speed things up a bit. If you want me to tell you how you activate it let me know.

It takes quite a while but since I got Roboform its been alot quicker! I also have the google toolbar which has an autofill facility on it.

I have got addicted to the comps on here and its amazing how many there are to enter and how many people are contributing. Normally overnight, well from about 9pm til 9am I have about 4 pages of comps to do to catch up!

I have a routine now, I'm a bit anal like that!

But when it comes to this site I work my way through from the ones from when I left off the night before (which is why I detest pointless BUMPing - just makes me think there is more than there really is!)

There are usually 4/5 pages to go through and usually takes the best part of a couple of hours! (Gosh I sound sad now!)

I use google autofill - not too keen on roboform (used to use it)

Good luck!

I do the same as Josie.

I don't have roboform or google autofill yet, but most things are autofilled by Firefox anyway so I don't have to type too much. I am going to look at getting roboform when I find the time though.

I think I need a new routine though as my internet's a lot slower in the evenings so I should really try to get up a bit earlier and do some before I go to work, but getting out of bed is a big problem.

don't know if it's my imagination but there seem to be a greater volume of new comps posted on here this year than the latter half of last year. I try and do most but if time is tight or i just get too bored i miss out the email entry ones or the ones with a prize that's not so enticing. I use autofill on google which definitely saves alot of time but you still have to fine tune the entries. The more you do it the more used you get to what boxes to tick on some of the sites so as not to sign yourself for having your details passed on etc. and I start to do it on semi-automatic pilot quite speedily.

Hi thanks for the replies. I guess that I will, for now, have to accept that I can't do as many as I'd like. No way can I devote two hours:eek:

So I shall just have to be more choosy!
cheers

Hello all,

I am new to entering all these competitions........

This might sound like a daft question but how many times do you enter each
competition - just once or do you send multiple entries ?:embarasse

thanks

kabba

I only enter once and i think T&Cs often states one entry per household/per person etc and you get eliminated if you enter twice. But i'm sure some people enter some comps twice using their partner or relative's etc details so get round it that way.

Thank you Kabba,

Hopefully I'll win something soon
