    Do you reckon you stand more chance on Facebook and Twitter comps? A lot more people seem to be winning through social sites. I've entered countless email sign up comps but never won.. maybe I should start social?

    I've been at it for about two months now and have won nothing from twitter or facebook, but have had 10 wins from email entry/rafflecopters/instant wins/pinterest/direct entry

    Twitter seems rather hopeless!

    I've only ever won through twitter. Facebook is useless and I don't enter that many rafflecopter ones. I'd love to find ones specifically for my area, that would be handy!

    Pinterest has good odds, but one board takes me an average 4-5 hours (sometimes more, depending on the prize)...

    I also agree with Rafflecopters...

    Also, comps that aren't posted here / other comping sites obviously have lower entry figures...

    But... my opinion is if you're meant to win, you will :D
  • Thanks for the responses guys! Guess i'll just keep plugging away at it and hope my luck changes! Might enter some Twitter comps but don't really want to spam my FB friends with shared competitions etc haha:D

    To save you asking the next questions

    you can set up a new FB account just for comping - just post drivel occasionally

    you won't get banned by FB if you do

    There is a post on here where you can ask for FB friends

    you can also have a twitter account just for comping - make sure you spout crap on it aswell as comps

    there is a topic on here where you can request twitter friends

    you RT a comp post NOT the persons tweet

    yes you can follow 2001 people until your followers goes up

    i think that's covered it :D

    Competitions where you need to make a little effort to enter give better odds of winning than the usual 'click only' comps.

    Those requiring a photo, poem, tiebreaker, or text of some kind are always worth spending time on.

    Good luck!
