    Anywhere from 50-250 a day I would say for me when I am not studying.
    50-100 on study days, but.. it only takes one entry,

    I had a time where I only entered one contest that day due to family issues - and won it!
    Keep going, enjoy entering - and be lucky <3
    Wishing you all good luck!

    Nowhere near enough! I started comping in September-October of last year and I was getting through about 100-200 per day because I had nothing better to do! Then I pretty much stopped altogether when uni started but I've started comping again this month but I only generally manage 30-60 plus dailies everyday because I don't have as much time to spend on it! And I haven't had any wins (apart from milk!) since restarting.

    :eek: Now this might be why I don't win :D After a few comps now and again I get bored and life is too short.

    I do most on social networks via mobile phone, its really quick.
    Alot concentrate on effort types only, and only enter a few a day - but they win regularly, as they are low entry.

    Have a search for super lucky blog, Di Coke puts alot of effort into her entries and had over £20,000 worth of prizes last year (I think.)
    Wishing you all good luck!

    I've come back to comping after a long break. Now I'm looking for work so I've got time on my hands. I probably enter 20-50 competitions a day. I think the people who enter hundreds are probably just entering everything. I only enter competitions for stuff I'd be chuffed to win or something a friend or family member would like.

    No wins yet this year but I only started up again a few weeks ago.
    Debt free 6th December 2014 :)

    I had a bit of a break over christmas and through January so haven't really won anything this year yet, but Last year I got quite a few good wins, I was winning 1-2 things a month but I only really enter for things I really want so when I did win they were nice items.

    Last year I was averaging 20-30 comps a day, so not bad at all really. Maybe I was just lucky, but that's roughly how many I stick too, and more If I'm in the mood for it.

    Most of my 2012 wins were from Facebook comps, including £1000 and a Nintendo 3DS.
  • I was averaging one a month when I was just doing the Magazine dailies (including all the extra share-to-gain entries). BUT, that was only over a three month period so probably not the best comparison! I started again with the dailies on 14th Jan, no wins yet but sometimes it takes a while to send the emails out.

    I do the odd entry on twitter and have won three things (gin, dog treats and a book) from there. I don't like to flood my feed with entries.

    I only started "proper" comping, sorting by end-dates, about ten days ago, so too early to say! But I've been entering about 30 a day (I like books and DVD's so entering most of those, as well as anything vouchery/cashy/hampery)
    Would LOVE to win:
    A hamper - any sort! A goody bag - any sort! A UK mini-break. A year's supply of something foodie. Anything Sci-Fi related
    2013 wins - Cutting Room book, Rock n Rose necklace, £50 M&S voucher, Greggs coffee, £70 voucher for a Onesie

    I've been comping since 19th January ( to be precise) and I havent won a sausage... I go through the main board and do about 20-30 pages every other day ( I have no idea how many comps are on a page?) so if I am on page 135 I will work to 115 and start there the next time and so on.

    I too only enter things I really would like and I tend to focus on holidays etc... you have to dream :) on some pages I may only enter 3 comps but as said before it only takes 1 entry..

    good luck to all ;)
