Anyone not do FB & Twitter comps

2»

Comments

  • I only enter apps on FB now as I dont trust like and share comps. I enter quite a few Twitter ones too. I have won the odd thing on FB and nothing on Twitter.

    I too have a Pinterest account and have used it, but have yet to see a comp need it. Ive only set that up due to comps too.
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:

    I have been doing comps for about six weeks and have had four wins. Two of the wins came from facebook, but I have had none from twitter.

    I have considered stopping doing the twitter comps, but reasoned that it literally takes four or five clicks to enter so is probably still worth while. (Click comp post, click retweet link, click follow if needed, click retweet, close window).

    I'm not on Facebook and I won't set up an account just for comping. I do do follow and RT ones on Twitter but I haven't won anything from it.

    I think like others above, the easier they are to enter the more entrants and therefore the smaller your chance of winning.

    have a separate twitter account for comping so i'm not annoying people RT'ing comps.. dont enter many on FB, never post to my wall and dont allow posts to be seen by friends etc.. nothing worse than random posts clogging up your newsfeed :)

    I am new to all this and i have been entering comps for a few weeks.
    On Facebook i have used the list function and have a list for all people who do comps also,I only like and share with that list.
    This works as only people interested see the post,but i have not won anything yet so i am not 100% sure that i am getting entered into all i try

    Have never entered on either as wouldn't know how to. Have never used these sites. Don't want all and sundry contacting me etc.
