When you see the details of a competition which words mostly in the title scare you away from entering?
Mine is seeing the word EFFORT especially if it's one ending soon.
Is yours twitter, facebook or another word.

Quite a few... blog, rafflecopter and the awful magazine dailies.

It's worth checking what the Effort is. Sometimes it's something quick and easy like choosing your favourite item from the site.
For me, "on air" are the scary words.0 -
Rafflecopter
like & share
"and you'll get to meet.. " (I'm way too shy to meet anyone famous!)Only in our dreams are we free.
The rest of the time we need wages.

The ones that say they want a certain amount of 'followers' or 'likes' before they pick a winner.
I avoid these types of comps.0 -

You need to Like and Share these 500 pages or do these things before you can submit a picture of your cat doing cartwheels in order to win the shower gel.
Or words to that effect!
Effort - doesn't bother me. Means less people enter
However I agree with the 'meet and greet' I'd sit in silence :P xDecember Wins: £300 worth of board games, £500 Tesco Vouchers Best Win in 2023: £500 Tesco Vouchers0 -

Blu X (Blu is not a word that scares me off - well, perhaps sometimes it does)
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apology
THIS IS ME!

Prize drawn at 50,000 likes...Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.
Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

The word "effort" doesn't bother me unless they put "singing" in front of it0
