Really would love to know this!

I've always been intrigued by this? I, like many others use this forem to enter so many comps that the kind people post for us. I am really curious to know? Do those that post comps prolifically do well? I know for myself, it takes most of my spare time to even enter, let alone post the comps. I'd really love to know if you just post the comps, or do you reap the benefits? I don't want to offend anyone by not naming them here, cos each comp post is one we wouldn't have otherwise, but ones that come to mind are maybe Laks, Weeowen, C Cat, Elver Man, Jambo, One Eye,Firefly?

I'd love to know you get some rewards for your ongoing effort.

I've done well in the past but 2012 has been very poor.
A few concert tickets & some toiletries plus some other small bits.
Soon can change though :-)

Thanks for replying Weeowens, I do think there are so many people comping these days, it really is a lottery. So glad you have some return for all you do,

Having spoke to a few of the posters privately, they dont do any better or any worse than most people.
Sometimes you can win lots and othertimes go months without a win,
But the main point is the posters post EVERY comp they find and they dont think - oh i wont share this one or that one,.

To me that is probably one of the most unselfish acts anybody can do and I applaud and always pm them a nice message if i win via one of their posts - and everytime you get back a really nice message that they are really happy for you - I pm'ed 'weeowen' recently and got a real nice reply.
Its like anything though in the end the more you enter the better the chance..
Good luck

ive started posting some comps (mainly face book ones)

wins are ok, nothing big but good all the same

it does annoy me when i see facebook comps that MSEers have entered but not posted

i know there are no rules to say you have to post comps but IMO its only politeness

The returns have diminished since the downturn.Must be all the new compers plus there are so many new comping portals springing up.
Never mind though ;-)

hi ricie :wave: yes, i reap the benefits to :j
although admitting it was hard work posting/doing the comps then having to go like a mad women to catch up entering comps never seeming to catch my tail as they say & a few slipped through i would miss :rotfl:
last year & the year before were very good winning years
but, since christmas this year seems the comping fairy has took a shine to me :j i've had lots of big prizes, lots of little ones, am still waiting on a few from nowmagazine & goodtoknow :j
i always pm the op's to thank them for the comp & let them know i've won :A & i've had tons of pm's from peeps who've won from my postings :j:T:T

so yes, i for one do reap the benefits

lots of fairy dust for you :A

I don't usually post on here but that is not a very nice comment Deborah. Don't judge people for coming on here comping. There are various reasons why people on here comp. Perhaps people have fallen on hard times, have a disability or perhaps enjoy comping or a number of other reasons. Don't be so horrible you never know what is round the corner.

Naughty to say that espec to posters who are spending their time to try and help others.
If you arent happy maybe you should post yourself or maybe find a site that would suit you better,
Theres no need for negativaty especially about the posters, who without them many many of us wouldnt of won a thing,
I ve won over £2000 worth BECAUSE of posters like weeowens..

So Deborah mse newbie type comp sites into google im sure theres a more suitable site for you than this site,,

Exactly!

I'm disabled and I'm bedbound/housebound alot. Comping stops me from going insane and it has a nice social aspect to it on FB and in The Compers Inn too.
