Should I avoid rafflecopter comps?

Options
The thing is, I don't mind following a blogger on TW and liking on FB, etc.. but I can't tweet about one comp everyday for 30 or 60 days. It might take an hour or more to enter a certain comp.

And, in most cases the prizes are worth no more than £10-£30.

Do you enter such comps everyday? once? or avoid them completely?

    I don't tweet everyday, you don't have to tweet everyday it is optional, but you get more entries into the draw if you do. If I remember I might, but usually I just enter the once.

    I won a prize using rafflecopter and I only tweeted the once, followed on twitter, liked on fb and left a blog comment.

    You might as well enter the once as one entry is better than no entries, like they say you've got to be in it to win it :)

    I only enter rafflecopters if it's a prize I really want but I still only enter them once.

    I find them enough of a faff as it is without having to trawl through them everyday and tweet the same thing for weeks on end.

  • The tweet every day, does it have to be done via the rafflecopter? or can you manually tweet the tweet from twitter? I ask because on certain programs like hootsuite you can schedule tweets.

    I don't usually look at them as they are often prizes I don't want/sites I prefer not to use.
    Entered one yesterday as it was marked FB App, turned out to be r/c entry but did it as I was there -Comp now has over 19,300 entries but not as bad as it looks - I have 21 of them so my odds are better than 1,000 to 1 at the moment.

    Yes, you need to do it via the rafflecopter. It's only counted as entry after you've clicked the button to confirm you've done it.

    How to enter rafflecopters

    Yes they need to be tweeted on the rafflecopter in the right way which will count as one entry for that day.

    I enter Rc's everyday when the prize is something I want to win how ever small it is. The first day you enter will take a little longer as there are more options like follow by email, follow on bloglovin ect but then it's just a quick click on the link in the daily's thread & click on the tweet easy & quick :beer:

    I am the same as luckyone - I tweet daily if it is a prize I would really like to win, whether it is big or small. Otherwise, I just fill in the rafflecopter once and keep my fingers crossed - a few people have commented how they have won without tweeting daily. Even if you just have one entry, you still have a chance of winning.
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    I do similarly. The more I want a prize, the more effort I'm prepared to make, and that doesn't always mean it's worth a lot in monetary terms.

    I keep my own list of daily comps (which doesn't include the magazine comps). So I add to this list whenever I find one I want to keep doing. What I will say about the daily tweets though is that once you get used to doing them, they are very quick and easy to do, once you can do them on autopilot that is.

    I do enter RC's but I don't go back to do the daily tweet, I do quite well on RC's as well x
