Never Win - Not a moan!

Guys, I have been entering 35 - 50 comps every day for about 3 months now and have won nothing, nadder, zip, sweet fanny adams!

How long did you all comp for before you started winning, any hints and tips or is it just luck?

Yours - increasingly demotivated

  • awww sometimes you dont win anything for months , then other times youll have a few wins in a week. I do around 100 per day but havent had a win in ages..... i think of it this way , if you do get a win its a bonus !! do you enter just on the web ?? try doing some on facebook and twitter too the app ones on fb are usually random so you dont have to share loads /.....good luck x
    Massive Thank you to all who post comps & answers on here .i'm very grateful , good luck all.

  • I've been going for a couple of weeks now - doing up to 75 -100 comps a day and not won either. Not downhearted yet though (but my wife might divorce me!!)

    I guess it's wait and see - if we're lucky then great (I'm sure it will come) - maybe all your luck is building to an ITV sensation!!
  • Face Book / Twitter basically anyone that will have me. A right competition wh*re!
  • i had about a year of not much then at christmas 2010 won on sony uk fb page a 55in 3d tv worth 3k and then in the january won 1k with muller.....then not had much since then lol had a few little wins tho

  • What is your FB name - and twitter name. I'll look at your pages and see what i can suggest. Have you set your profile to public. If not you are wasting your time, promoters must see you have shared with your friends.

    I enter mostly on FB/twitter these days and have won at least 10 comps this year.
  • Blimey Jill36 is that true? If so then I've been wasting a massive amount of time sharing comps as my profile is set as mainly private!

    I'm not really a facebook user and only started using it as so many comps are now only available on facebook.

    Hmm not sure what to do now... :(

    Credit Crunch don't get disheartened as I'm sure you'll start winning soon. I've not been very successful over the years but am ever hopeful ;)

    When you press the share button and the box comes up, click at the top where it says private and change to public. Don't forget to click on the same when you are posting a status to then make it private. Hope this helps :)
    Thanks to all those fab compers who post:j:T
  • LLB - if you change your settings from tonight on FB - you are very likely to have your first win soon. Look at the sticky on the first page. Have you got FB comp friends or have you got just friends and family?

    We are only allowed 1 account so don't be tempted to open one just for comps. FB are closing people's accounts so i have heard.

    Just ask if you or anyone else needs help.

  • Thanks c5ryl and jill36. I only have family and close friends on facebook.

    To be honest if it wasn't for the amount of comps available I would have absolutely no interest in it!

    I'll away and read the sticky - probably should've done that ages ago.

  • Don't be too down hearted, remember that a lot of comps will only be hitting their end date + 28 days to contact the winner sometimes.

    I had quite a dry August, but Sept has been crazy with 10 comp wins - including a week away where I couldn't comp at all. Most of these wins have been Aug closing dates.

    Facebook comps have been very kind to me, I know some people steer away - but they are very easy and fast to complete.

    Good luck :o
