    Rafflecopter is a method of entering comps where you have to perform tasks such as Liking on FB, Commenting, Tweeting etc, a lot of Blogs use it.

    Be careful having 2 FB accounts, it's against FB rules and you could have both accounts closed, it's happened to others on here.

    There is a post about friends on FB, I'll have a look for it.

    1) Rafflecopter is an annoying method of comping that requires you to be a social media addict
    2) Yes, I am the sexiest comper on MSE
    3) Yes, Manchester City are the greatest team in the land
    4) The rumours about me and Daenerys Targaryen are totally true (but don't tell Mrs MB)

    Hope that answers all your questions Bunglebear0

    rafflecopter can vary from dead simple - like us on facebook - done your entered to seriously complicated - follow me on every social network you've heard of plus a dozen you haven't, tweet every day, answer some really stupid question.

    Basically you do what is asked of you & tick a box to say you have done so ( 1 I did this morning had 14 boxes - ignored about half of them )

    Rafflecopters are easy enough once you get the hang of them but also terminally boring.

    If you have a Facebook and Twitter account you can get some entries - you gain more for other things such as following via sites like bloglovin and pinterest. Don't worry if you have no idea what these other sites are - I have no need for bloglovin, klout or Google circles in my life but I'm registered with all of them just so I can use them for rafflecopter. If you actually asked me what they are there for, I wouldn't have a clue. Same with pinterest. ;) Don't ever feel you have to understand a competition to enter it! :rotfl:

  • Im sorry i forgot i started this thread!
    I dont think i will bother with R/C seems to confusing for me! lol
    When i tick a box that i dont want them to contact me with special offers ect do you think that makes it less likely to win?

    Aah the Khaleesi! She is very pretty! :o

    If you tick a box saying no to special offers you have just the same chance of winning as if you tick yes. I think most people tick no unless it's a product they are interested in... e.g I often tick restaurants "Yes" because now and again they will send you a discount code. It would have to be a pretty shady company to not let you win because of that, and I think MSE would pick up on that very quickly.

    Good luck! :j
