So on average, how many competitions do you enter a day, and how many competitions do you win a week?

I have never actually counted how many i enter each day, i suppose it is just the ones i see on here and that can vary every day. As for winning, well, I think I am one a month.0

It varies as to how busy I am. I have to fit comping in around full time work and being a single parent. Some weeks I enter hundreds, but can go days where I only enter the odd one. I have won 8 prizes in 9 days, but I am on a bit of a roll just now. Usually its about 3 a month.
Although I started the comping challenge, it was merely a bit of fun. I don't think comping is just about financial return.For me it is purely a hobby - if I measured it by hours put in it would all become a bit like work. I like the contact with the other compers as much as the prizes. I find the chatter very de -stressing after a hard day at work.0 -
I am having a bit of a go slow at the moment with regard to winning prizes. has been over a month now. I tend to enter everything i would want to win or could sell easily. i never enter holiday comps as no passport and too much hassle. I am also a single parent who works full time so i have started leaving all my competition entering until a friday evening where i can just sit for hours and hours and enter as many as i can. I do have a browse through the week to make sure i dont miss any with near closing dates though. VCant say how many i enter but since i started late october i estimate it must be well over a thousand by now.
Just wish i could get some more decent wins soon as it realy spurs you to carry on.2007 Competition challenge.( Win back my ntl internet costs for a year) Target £220 Have won so far = £9.99 Loreal revitalift pot of cream. and = £14.95 Royal mail smilers stamps!

i started last year but its getting very addictive as nothing beats the thrill of getting a parcel in the post and not knowing what it is or being something i need, some days i enter one or two, other weeks i enter maybe 100. this year ive won a years free breakdown cover with halfords and a maybeline make up set.0

Just looking for a ballpark figure on how many you lot are entering.
I've just started, and basically I'm just putting my name in for five or so here every day - whatever catches my eye and looks like I might like to win it.
Just wondering what the return on it is likely to be, granted there's not much effort involved but there's not much point if I'm only likely to win once a year.0 -
Hi - I enter most posted on this site on most days (sometimes have a few days off) so I guess that's 30ish daily, and do the entries as quickly as I can. Been doing it since October and average 2+ wins a month - lowest value about £5 highest £295. Don't just choose the ones I fancy the prizes of, just do them all unless they are a pain to enter. I sell or give away the prizes that I don't want to keep and enjoy the rest! The key is do loads, expect nothing and you never know... I won 4 things in one morning in December!2007 ChallengeTarget: £170Wins: £413.70
Photo paper - £6; Japanese Tea - £2.70
2 tickets to Billy Elliot - £110Pinch Stool - £295; Celebrity Film Screening £?0 -
