It varies really. There are some days I dont get chance to enter any but then there are days when I enter about 25+. I have only being doing it since feb and have had some good wins inc £500 from pepsi, football tickets, toiletries and make up and a couple fo £10 vouchers.
I am desperate for an ipad for hubby for fathers day but dont think that will happen! Lol.July 2013 wins: Lilac Skoot, Night out for 2 at Nandos & Cineworld
Best wins so far: £500, GHD styler, Tassimo T40 Machine0 -
Some evenings I enter about 10 competitions and then other evenings I might enter more than 25. It depends on the prizes and also I don't like spending too much time on the laptop.:A0

It depends, but I do about 30-40 on average per day. Some days I do none then catch up on loads at the weekend

I started off slow (with 10 comps a day) and I've built up to entering between 50-100+ comps a day now. I won a box of personalised chocolates after 2 weeks of entering.
Good luck!
May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx0 -
The amount I enter differs every day, and a lot of the time I don't get round to entering any so any wins at all are a nice bonus.
When I do have time though I normally try for between 30-60 a day.
I started at the end of February and my first win was after a couple of days, it was only a teddy but a wins a win.
I tend to look at comping as a kind of hobby and don't expect anything, that way when a win does turn up it's a nice surprise.
Since starting I have won
Cushelle Koala
Box Of Disney Toys (Runner Up Prize)
Kids Book Set
Loreal Shampoo & Conditioner Set
Marmalade Pot
Coca Cola Cooler Bag
Box of Dog Treats0 -
Depending on what competitions are posted and what shifts I'm working I enter anything from 30 to 100+ competitions a day.
My first win took a couple of months and since then they have come in fits and bursts. I never win steadily like some people but rather have a good week then nothing for a few weeks.Silentnight Bed, Babystyle Travel System, City iGo Headphones, Amazon Kindle, £50 iTunes Voucher, Jaeger Handbag, Fisher Price Baby Gym, Digital Waterproof Camera,
£50 Love2Shop Voucher, Product of the Year Hamper,
100ml DKNY Golden Delicious Perfume, Blackberry 9320

I started in march/april - and about 150 a day i would say a week.
I had a break with uni, and started again in the middle of july.
I believe I am more lucky then some, I enter about 70 - 100 a day, again depending on how many are posted and how many I want, my family might like, friends, then presents and things I could give to the local hospice.
I won a day after starting back in July. I win 4/5 times a week.
I've only won little things, however, I think if you are winning things you want, then it shouldn't matter. At the end of the day make sure it doesnt take over your life, and remember a win is never guaranteed
Hope it goes well for you
