But small businesses get business from us? I just spent over £100 worth of candles from bizzybees for my oh for valentines, i only know them from comping.

I was going to get some of those magic beanz from them and only ever saw them from twitter.

(perhaps you should tweet to them you've spent loads, might get a freebie)

My son at 16 with my oh's guidance is running a small business via doing a comp his very niche market attracted many orders through the viral marketing which comping shares, word of mouth does, Even at his age he realised how to market himself to get orders for his business.

Never did he worry about compers entering as he knows it's all about getting his name out there and it was the easiest route, he doesn't make thousands yet but he is well on his way to over 400 orders satisfied.

I don't get all this blogging lark? Why do people think others want to hear their daily self opinionated grumbles? I don't touch any of them, and I'm glad I don't after this womans lovely outburst.

I don't think she knows much about marketing and pr...........x

There are different types of bloggers out there.

I've noticed quite a few of the beauty bloggers do not like their competitions linked up - this might be due to the fact that it's coming out of their own pocket or only want to share with other beauty bloggers ?? (just my opinion).

A lot of the parent bloggers are happy to have their blog links on here as they usually do a review and host a competition and it is the PR company supplying the prize.

But that's just what I notice, from being a blogger and comper myself

Ok... so... I've unfollowed her on Twitter, but can't work out how to tell her RC that I'm not following her, so I can cancel my entry... Ideas?

You could try abusing her online ,seems to be the MSE way.

I actually agree with what she has said , it must be very galling when people enter to grab prizes when they have no interest in where or why or what the competition is about

basically its just greed

Money Supermarkets freebie forum?

How do you tell who is, and isn't interested then?

So... just because I'm a comper, I'm not allowed to have interest in winning an Illamasqua lipstick and gloss?

Oh yeah. Because I'm blatantly not interested in beauty/fashion/style: just interested in sitting behind my computer all day entering competitions, and piling the prizes beside me, a la Rumpelstiltskin. Who needs makeup, when they don't leave the house, except to get parcels of wins from the post office.... :rotfl: :rotfl:
