    I used to do about 100 a day & had small but consistent wins - have now dropped to 30 or 40 & haven't had any wins recently so back to the grind

  • I enter around 50 per day, but I have only just started and yet to really get into the swing of it. I am unable to enter them every day as I don't have time. So far I havn't had a win :(I agree with Iggy, all the competitions will be posted on here and you will not run out of comps to enter. Good luck.

    I am also curious how long other posters spend entering/how long it takes them to enter say 100 comps?

    I started comping at the beginning on february and did about 1000 that month - March I did much less but am back to about 50-100 a day this month. But I had my first proper win last week - a luxury short break in a country lodge. So it does happen! I think this was from my february entries!!

    I can easily do 100+ in a day if I don't have much else on, other times when I just have an hour or so in an evening only about 25+.

    Roboform has been a life saver! Good luck - stick with it!

    How long do I spend comping? well too long is the answer - I imagine I spend around 3 or 4 hours per day.

    I get up an hour early to do all the magazine dailys now they are spamming more.

    Then I go to work full time, and do all the facebook dailys at dinner....but in the evening after my little boy is in bed I get the laptop out and hammer the comps hee hee!!

    Also I work term time only so every few weeks I get to comp 'full time' at the moment because Im on summer hols I have the laptop open coiinstantly, so Im prob comping for around 8 - 10 hours on and off!

    I dont comp to win as strange as that sounds and thats what keeps you going, I love window shopping and daydreaming of winning, when a win comes in its just a bonus!!

    Enjoy it and enjoy being part of the community. xx
    back to comping after a 2 year break!! Mission… to win a gift for all my family for Christmas!

    I do about 200 a day and it takes at least 5 hours, I win between 20 and 35 competitions a month. I'm slightly addicted :rotfl:

    110? I can enter that many in a normal day :o

    I have been entering less than when I first started a year ago because so many are things I don't want / need or that my family wouldn't want / use.

    I try not to keep count but the dailies I enter alone must top 100 at least.

    But it's all down to luck - so best to you :) xx
    Thanks to all posters :A
