    I have no idea how many comps are on a page?

    20 per page :)
  • 100 plus, not sure just how many, that includes the daily's, had some nice wins last year usually 1 large and maybe four small wins a month. tailed of at the end of the year, then this year have won a Mobile phone from the daily's and a £1000 3 day break, well chuffed.

    You just have to keep plodding at it.

    I don't like doing the Facebook ones and I'm not on twitter anymore. Anyone else just hate cluttering up their page with crap?

    I do a few of the Facebook competitions, but most are on pages I already like, or are done every week/weekend.

    I had one big win on Facebook early December- netbook, wireless keypad and mouse.

    But I limit how many of the like and share ones I do.

    I work full-time so don't have time to sit and do 200 comps per day - I only enter 5 - 10 max per day and then I also do the ITV comps and any facebook comps that pop up when I check my page in my lunch hour.

    I only ever enter for big items such as holidays, cash or vouchers - I dont bother entering for anything under £100 but that's not because I dont want to win them - it's just that I have to filter the ones I really want to win due to lack of time.

    In the last 14 months I've won 3 BIG holidays - Bahamas, South Africa and Cayman Islands - so that proves it can be done even when not entering hundreds per day. I'm very picky with what I enter, and I prefer the ones that involve a bit of effort. We are all different types of compers, depending on our personal situations but as this forum shows anyone can win - it really is the luck of the draw. And if I can win 3 holidays by only entering 10 max per day then it proves you dont have to spend hours and hours at the pc doing competitions. Good Luck to everyone on here, I hope we all get the wins we really want this year :)
  • I enter about 200 a day, a mixture of everything including some effort ones and I have been pretty lucky over the last 4 years. Like most people I go through periods of not entering much but the last couple years I've been pretty consistently entering loads every day. Personally I think its a numbers game :)
    Good things come to those who comp:D
  • i enter anywhere from as little as 20 per day or as much as 250 per day including dailies

    it depends on what ive got on, if i can be bothered and if they are prizes i want, ive started being picky in what i enter now

    I try and stay up to date so I enter competitions as they're posted. I don't bother with Twitter and avoid a lot of things where you have to register an account for one competition, but otherwise enter a fair amount. Still waiting for a win!

    When people say they do 100-200 per day. Are you saying you do 100-200 that end on various dates or 100-200 that are ending on the same day? I'm guessing various dates right? as I could never find anywhere near 100 worth doing that end in a single day.
