I've just done some maths, and worked out in the last 240 day's, I've entered around 142 thousand competitions (dailys included) out of them I have won 52, I spend around 6-8 hours a day doing these comps, it works out at around £10.52 a day in winnings, just to give any newbies a heads up :eek:

I think comping is a lot like paying myself a salary in perfume samples and cruise ship brochures

Hi,I spend around 6-8 hours a day doing these comps, it works out at around £10.52 a day in winnings, just to give any newbies a heads up :eek:
so you make £1.75/£1.30 an hour, cost you more than that for your cleaner on minimum wage.
Edit: just had another look at your figures, nearly 600 comps a day, jings. :eek:0 -

Ummmm, well I re started comping in Feb, and make a note of any wins and there rrp, and I know how long I spend doing them, and a few times I have done a tally of how many I entered in a day, but is a rough guess ... I think ... x0 -
6-8 hours a day. Flippin heck, I do about an hour every other day if I get the chance.
I'm probably working for the comping equivalent of a zero hour contract.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
Yep think I should enter more...lol
But I don't holiday ones, or twitter/facebook/rafflecopter...
Note to self....MUST try harder....:rotfl:
I don't do Twitter or Rafflecopter either or dailies and I've only managed 1 win a month since June and I've entered probably as much as you! However I don't enter for books or DVDs and they are all mainly larger prizes0
