  • I gave up the Click to Wins to preserve my sanity so am doing considerably less but I have reduced my stress levels and am back to enjoying the hobby rather than being a slave to it - a slave with high blood pressure and no time to do anything else!
  • Don't count. I dont bother with the dailys, just twitter, facbook and another competition forum. Had two wins and started before Xmas

    ive just come back to comping. i tend to only enter facebook if its a big prize as i find them hard to win as so many non compers!!! enter on facebook. i dont do lots of twitter comps but do do them. i keep away from rafflecopter ones and dont do the daily ones very often. im trying to work out a system to comping lol again
    Just about to give up!
  • Hi guys,

    So I joined up back in December , did a lot of advents and lots of comps since but so far nada.

    I was just wondering how many competitions do you all enter a day and the best way to win I.e Facebook, insta, Twitter or online entry. What have you won with most. How many hours a day do you spend comping?

    Also with the mad dailies do you enter the same comp every day till it runs or just one enter per comp?

    Sorry for all the questions but seems like you are all winning stuff and no matter how much Time I spend I’m not having any luck! Love reading I won won to keep me going though.
  • Ha! I guess everyone is too busy entering comps! Never mind, will carry on going, thanks anyway!

    I don't keep a count of how many I enter per day but anyway it varies madly depending on how busy I am in real life! Some days I might enter 100s, other days only a handful. I don't really do Twitter much, and Instagram not at all. I do quite a few Facebook comps but honestly can't remember the last time I won on one. So I suppose most of my wins come from web entries. I don't win much though, maybe once every two months on average?
    As for mag dailies. There are generally only a few on each magazine that interest me so I try to do those ones as often as I can. I never manage every day but I try to do as many days as possible. But again I don't win on them often. I've been doing them nearly 6 years and I think I've won one 4 times!

    Some days I enter 100s, some days maybe only 20, I'd be embarrassed to own up to how many hours I spend! I enter twitter and Instagram but very few Facebook as I hate annoying my real life friends with notifications of my 'likes'. I won £1000 in the advents, but since then I've only won £1 (on GFK Media). Right now I'm comping while im indoors is shouting at the rugby. (I'm a very supportive wife ;) ) Every now and then I think I'm going to stop, I'm wasting too much time on it, but then a prize appears and off I go again. There are lots of threads with hints for Newbie on here, I'll try and find a coupl and post the links.
