Question about Twitter comps

smartt21

Just wondered as I am hopeless at Twitter, if the number of followers you have on twitter affect your chances of winning?

I don't know for sure, but would not have thought so. Once you start following people, you will soon get followers.

hi,

I don't think it changes anything. I won a comp on via a website entry once and there were 10 other people and one of them came from their twitter feed. The twitter person had 1 follower but I knew it was a real person as they were on my facebook too so it was a real person and they did win (they won the best prize from us all - an xbox bundle worth £600)

so i wouldn't worry!

ANother question! When you retweet a comp do you only retweet once or does it not matter if you retweet more than once. I often forget if I have retweet that tweet (only shows you have retweeted if it is that exact tweet). Thanks, often wondered if I am disqualifing myself by doing it more than once!

If they tweet about the competition on more than one occasion, I often retweet each of their posts. The Butlins one for example, I have clicked retweet each time I see them tweet about it. I have won on twitter on more than one occasion, so unless they specifically say to only retweet once, I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks for that, more important things to worry about, like geting my Times hourly competition entry in sucessfully :rotfl:
