How many competitions do you enter?

LadyMorticia

Welcome to comping.

I'm not sure how many I enter a day. It used to be about 100, including the dailies but I haven't done the dailies in a while.

I don't really keep track. I just enter for things I want or for things that I/DH/baby/family/friends could use.

I don't enter for tickets to events because I can't get to them and alot of places aren't wheelchair friendly and I don't enter for holidays anymore due to being pregnant and alot of the T&Cs say that the holiday has to be taken by a certain date. That narrows the comps down abit.:p

I aim for at least 30 a day but sometimes do more (up to 80) or sometimes less if I feel like I just can't be bothered (but will do extra the next day to make up for it).

I don't like to do more than 80 as I feel it would interfere with other things I should be doing! Also I find that if I've entered quite a lot I start dreaming about filling in comping forms which I take as a sign I need to do something else for a bit!

I seem to have a few small wins a month so am happy with the number I am entering.

I thought I was the only one sad enough to dream about competitions, glad I'm not alone! lol

Hiya, been having fun entering loads of comps tonight, but I was just wondering how many you all enter before actually winning something?

I've lost track of how many I've entered but I guess a bit of positive thinking wouldnt hurt. Got to be in it to win it as they say

i dont think theres a set number to enter before you win anything


i comped for 2 weeks before i had my first prize but ive heard others say they comped for months before winning anything

if you want possible wins quick then it might be best if you comp by end date and that way you do the ones finishing tomorrow, the next day, day after etc

otherwise some comps that are posted may not finish till the end of the month or longer

i recommend the dailies too, they are usually good for a win or two

'got to be in it to win it' << thats my mantra lately lol

oh and welcome to the forum and most importantly enjoy it

I agree with Tinks. There isn't really a set number and alot of the ones you've entered might not have finished yet (or at least a winner might not have been picked yet).

I can't remember how long it took me to have my first win. Maybe a couple of weeks?

The dailies are a good thing to do too as Tinks says.

Welcome to the forum and comping.

I've created a poll to try and get a "Green Tick" counter created to count how many competitions we are entering to keep on track of your targets! it may be some help to you..

I can't remember where but I read that it's an average of between 300 & 3500 comps entered per win - so far september is not playing ball as I entered far more than usual but only had one win
