  • Is she a Blogger ?

    You know this was my theory! She does and she reviews prizes she wins, do you think this is what it is?

    I was thinking of starting one but if I've won nothing how can I review it?

    I don't believe that, there's got to be something specific competitions runners are looking for, I just don't know what it is :mad:

    Are you sure your not just retweeting her tweets? Are you going directly to the company then liking them, then retweeting their tweet?

    Who can understand the laws of odds, many have tried.
    Some people get off to a slow start with no wins for months, others win several times in their first week of comping.

    Me, I'm a plodder, I usually get at least one win a month, but I can go two to three months without a sniff.

    Does she suck up to the competition promoters and gush over their products? If so, do you do the same? (Not that it should matter if it is a random draw:) )

    Sounds like being a comp promoter is a lot of fun :D

    Forget the dating sites then, instead just give some lippo away on a blog. ;)

    If you're thinking about starting a blog you could have written about it.

    Not really, I pretty much do as she does. She might say how much she wants to win or how bad she wants to try their product sometimes but I do the same.

    She does have a twitter friend though who did this but I think she may have been friends or acquaintances with the competition runner and she mentioned how badly she wanted to win this particular outfit and guess who won? So I tried the same, a different approach for me, and practically begged to win like she did and said how badly I wanted to win it but it didn't pay off :(
