How much time spent comping VS how often you win?

2»

Comments

  • I spend 2-3 hours a day entering competitions in my usual routine but if we're out for the day or busy then just my daily comps get done (20-30 of them). And if I'm home alone with time to kill I enter more!

    To date I've won 67 prizes. Ranging from a chocolate bar to a £300 prize bundle. I've been comping since March with an average of 100 comps a day entered. I won 1 prize in April and 23 prizes in September which was my best month so far. I just roughly worked out that for every 337 comps I enter I get a win. Not bad odds really :D

    The majority of my wins are small things like chocolate bars, cereal, a pen and books but I truly enjoy everything I win (or even a good freebie).

    Good luck to you :)

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx

    i spend 3-4 hours a day sometimes more entering comps and enter loads cant really say how many as i dont count but some days i know ive entered well over a 100. i often go several weeks without anything then i`ll win a dvd, ive been lucky enough to win an ipad (1st edition) and a 40" sony smart tv so those two wins alone have made comping worth it for me! ive had spells of being fed up have been that way a little recently as ive not had squat for 6 weeks or so and i enter much more these days than i did initially but i always think a win may be just around the corner, just gotta plug away and hope something comes! ;-)
    Comping Life- wake up in morning,get excited about postie comin,bit more excited as u check emails 1st time,get deflated NO wems!,get more deflated as postie brings junk,enter comps,go to work,wonder if delivery vans brought a surprise!,come home nope no surprises!,check again for wems nope still disappointed!,enter more comps,time for bed,REPEAT!
  • I've been comping a month for 2 hours a day give or take a bit and won nothing so far though loads of comps ive entered haven't closed yet , though i suppose it will always be like that.

    You have only just started so if you getting disheartened already this malarky might not be for you , im ok with winning nothing atm but 4/5 months down the line if ive still won jack all i might start thinking about knocking it on the head.

    I do only bother with the stuff i want to win , the better prizes basically , cant be bothered to waste time on the small stuff that i have no interest in.
