Depends on the day. On twitter (mon, weds) about 50/60
On a Friday about 70 isn.

No longer do FB L+S UNLESS it's an iPad/pretty thing i really really want.

It also depends on the day.... But I can average about 200. But, that's without dailies.
I can enter about 50 an hour. about 4 hours on a night.

So in total on a normal day 200. x

Can I ask where you find all those twitter comps please? Is there a list somewhere? Thanks

I don't really count, I'd say I spend about an hour entering comps maybe 3-4 times a week? I have dry spells where I don't bother for weeks. Probably why I've only ever one a box of Crunchy Nut Cereal lol!

I've been entering almost daily in January so keeping my fingers crossed for a win soon

Oh and I try not to enter anything on FB / TW unless it's something REALLY desirable.... I don't want to annoy my friends / followers!

Is there a way to find comps ending in 2 days time more easily then just scrolling through loads of pages handpicking them?

If you scroll to the bottom of the page, there's an option to sort by title. Then I just find the date I want and enter them in a bunch. I think there's another way too, but I'm not sure what it is.

Are you more likely to win if you enter near the end date? Ive just searched 17/01 and loads came up, when I used your method I could only find a few on this date x

Hi are you sure?

If I go to Display Options at the bottom, and set it so its sorted by thread title and in order ascending, I then go to page 89 of the competitions and find all the competitions listed E: 17/01. If I go through all the comps ending 17/01, there should be around 150 competitions.


I don't know if you're more likely to win if you enter by end date, but when I comped by end date a few months back, I was winning virtually everyday. But could just have been a coincidence

Oh didn't go that far back, I went to around 30 odd pages and found a few scattered around, i'll have another look, thank you!

Do you enter on the last day or 2 days before?

I aim to (rarely happens) enter a couple of days before. I think it's better that way just because a lot of competitions ending 17/01 will have ended at midnight last night, or early on a morning. Good luck!
