Twitter Comps - am I missing something?!

    I do loads of Twitter comps and win quite a bit. If the company tweets the same comp more than once,, then yes, RT every tweet you see. Commenting does help too.
    I do have 3465 followers but they have been gained slowly over the last 5 years.
    I always RT from the company page, I see lots of people retweeting and favouriting my tweets and I'm not even sure is the company will see that.
    I do try and tell those that keep doing it but most just ignore me :(

    I tweeted non stop and only won one prize on twitter for the whole of January, and if any of you know me on there - you will know I tweet alot.

    It is hit and miss on there, I have had a few big prizes recently, but they were from effort based competitions that required a slogan rather than a simple RT.

    Keep going is the only advice I have, I use my account to comp and chat to both online compers and close friends who attend the local competition club I am part of.

    Keep going! :D Look out for low entry ones, and make the most of the list feature, the limit means you get capped at 2000 and have to unfollow companies frequently. if you add each company you RT from into a list - even if you unfollow them, you can always see if you have missed a new competition they have launched - and then refollow.
    Wishing you all good luck!

    I think I have won about 5 Twitter comps since I started comping in September. I have sent over 8,200 tweets/retweets in that time so low odds but they are so quick to enter. I did win a World Cup bundle which included an iPad Mini the other week from SkyHD just for retweeting - that's my biggest win
    Thank you to everyone for sharing competitions!
