Twitter Competition advice

maxwellhouse

Just wanted some advice.... I have entered over 900 twitter competitions and not won a bean! Is this normal?
As you can imagine, I'm beginning to wonder whether its worth entering them... I seem to have far much better luck entering conventional competitions
Anyone have any advice -I'd appreciate it!

It sounds normal to me - I've won 2 twitter comps & 1 competwition in over a year , if you enter at the end of the comp it's not unusual to see over a thousand retweets & some people copy & past to enter more than once

You need to make your profile look like you're interacting - send tweets to your friends so it doesn't look like a spammy competition twitter feed You're more likely to win in that way x

Twitter is getting harder and harder to win on , a few years back you could get at least one win a week now youre lucky if you get one win lol .... good luck x

I've won loads via Twitter, tickets, Marmite(!), sports stuff, gym gear.

Worth it for sure, I do interact with people also so maybe that's a good idea.

Aren't the winners supposed to be randomly picked?


(or do they look for somebody who's about town)

I've sent over 1,000 tweets and following nearly 500 but can't get a bite!

'Random' but interacting might mean your 'random' number is picked - if you see what I mean

I had my first RT win yesterday, I had already won with Krave but that involves tweeting directly to them, so after 500 RT's I was beginning to question them too.

I've found that adding a picture and bio helps, and the odd 'normal' tweet.

Good Luck!

I don't interact with people on Twitter, I've never posted a 'normal' random tweet to make it look like it's not a comping account and I've won 6 things from Twitter in the last 5 months

I have been entering twitter comps for 6 months now and have only won one competition which was an effort comp.

The odds do seem low, but a retweet takes little effort so even if you have one win per thousands of entries I think it is still worth entering. Good luck

You can enter 900 comps win them all or win none of them its total luck.
