comps by end date (nosy question)
Comments
-
When my OU course is on, it means I cant keep up with comping via end date. Therefore If I get an hour spare, I check ones ending next next day, and the day after.
I change the way I comp from week to week though, sometimes doing newly posted, sometimes most popular.
When I am deep into my work though, I search for things Id like to win, keywords such as vouchers, kids, wii, bodyshop etc..
Im always facinated in how people enter, good luck everyone. xx
Oh - and I always do my daily list, if I enter nothing else that day - I put 30 mins aside to hit those.Wishing you all good luck!

I've just had a look through these threads, thanks for linking to them. I guess 'dailies' are basically when a company runs 'daily' competitions?Oct wins: 1 book, Aramis perfume, £15 Amazon voucher
Started comping in Oct 2012
Thanks to everyone who posts competitions!0 -

30 mins :eek: I wish I could do mine in that time, takes me about an hour all in to do my dailies, I have anywhere between 60 and 70 a day to enter. I agree though dailies always gets done, then those ending tomorrow and then if Ive got time I have a look at the month end ones so I can get a few of them out of the way before I get to them. Im far too busy to spend any longer than a couple of hours on comps. Then again I do waste time chatting instead of compingCurrent 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:0 -
I comp by last post date but only up until the last comp on 'Yesterday' but then I'm a little bit weird!
Essentially I'll do any comp I like until the last post date says today (then some time close after midnight), that gives a little time for dupes to be found and other issues. Using the X helps a lot for the bumped ones but normally I hover over the link and catch the beginning gist of the comp and only open link if it's inconclusive.
Usually I run at between 24-48 hours behind, but I've been awfully slack this week or so!Golly, I've got the newt pregnant...

Nice thread this is turning into lots of useful info.
So from what im seeing 'dailies' get the biggest mention with some (like me) who just dont get time and others who do them first each day.
Im guessing then really we should all have a go at dailies because if its like 50/50 members on dailies then im guessing the odds of winning a dailies type comp are increased (ie - Win A Ipad would get virtually everone who sees it entering, whereas a dailies comps - even if it was an ipad would maybe get half the amount enter)
So to sum up my thoughts and wonder are:- have MANY mse'ers won dailies (and more than once)
Thanks for reading - back to it now!Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:0
