How many competitions a day?
Comments

Varies Really. If I just do dailies, twitter and facebook - about 75 a day.
With MSE comps ending that day I fancy - more like 100 (end of month there are tons of comps so can be even more than that.)
Plus i'm entering about 75 advent comps a day.
So anywhere between 75 and 175 comps a day really.
At the moment i'm comping for about 3 hours a day and thats just getting the dailies, advents, twitter and facebook one's none - not really left with the time for MSE ones too.
I've won over £25,000 worth this yearNot really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!0 -
I do at least 5 hours' worth of comps a day - and that is only doing the things I actually WANT to win!
I know some people enter for everything going, which is entirely personal choice - I just hate seeing competition wins on eBay that I desperately wanted to win.
I do the regulars and at this time of year there are the millions of advents but a lot of itme now is taken up with FB and Twitter. I'm not particularly lucky on those so I only do them after main board comps.
I've won some lovely things but never more than £7000 worth in one year so the "time spent versus money gained" ratio is probably less than a penny an hour! :rotfl:Living with Lupus is like juggling with butterflies0 -
depends but like everyone the more you enter the more likely you will win stuff, with advents I am trying to do advents and those ending next few days so close to 200-300 each day, but then depends if im tired after work as then I may only enter a few or none at allBlessed on 18th February 2014 at 0814 with little Sarah xxx0

I've only started comping from about the 22nd NOvember and I'm doing 300+ a day. So far nothing.
Today I did all the advents that I actually want to win and then working my way up the board from the beginning currently I'm on page 159. But before I started working my way through the board I did a search for iPads, iPhones, smartphones etc and finished all those just in case there were some that were closing soon and I didn't get to them in time.
Hopefully the new year will bring some exciting parcels to the door or I think DH is seriously contemplating divorce!You'll have to speak up; I'm wearing a towel0 -
Do you enter every single comp posted then Matryoshka?
Hell no :rotfl:
Most ticket prizes are no good to me except it's something the kids would like to see. I have children in various age ranges
I don't tend to enter holiday for 2 comps as would be a nightmare to sort out childcare :rotfl:
Those car racing comps are also out as can't see the thrill in getting in a car, driving fast around the track, then getting out and going home :rotfl:
Won't enter a hot balloon comp :eek: nor a bungee jumping comp :eek: nor a flying out of a plane comp :eek:
Don't enter comps where I have to travel too far just for the evening :rotfl:
See, loads of comps I don't enter :rotfl:SECRET TO WINNING PRIZES:

I spend about 5-8 hours a day, I don't enter holiday or tickets or things like that as they would be no use to me, I enter things I want, can give to others and also to put on ebay ( I know some people don't like that, but it makes things like bills etc a little easier to pay)0 -

I'm confused how you all enter so many though...I would like to enter more, but often find that after a little while on here I'm reading back through comps ive already entered. I havent worked out how to so the "dailies" thing efficiently yet though so maybe that's my problem.
are the 100's a day you all mention all from MSE, or other sites as well? as I have looked for other comping sites but have only found ones where you have to pay to sign up.0 -
I sort them in thread order, and do todays and upto 7 days in advance, and just go over them every day for any I have missed and I have all the dailys book marked in a folder and do them each day and add new ones, and I only use this site0
