    I have been comping for about a month now and entered what seems like hundreds and not won anything. Am I doing something wrong?

    Currently going through my longest dry spell with out a win. Have not won anything since June, when i enter all the comps on UK Hot deals every day, as well as all the clicks to wins everyday.

    Hoping there is a big win around the corner for me soon, getting a little fed up with entering loads but of not getting anything.

    What been your longest dry spell?

    It may seem like you are entering hundreds every day when you do the Click to wins but bear in mind that there is sometimes just one prize shared across all those sites. It must take you ages !

    Just out of curiosity, why do you enter on UK Hot Deals when there are thousands of competitions here on MSE ?

    I tend to focus on UK Hot deals, then a few from here that take my fancy. I think your right about the clicks to wins, i had a few small wins from there but nothing big and for time compared to wins its pretty small, i think i'll put more time into entering comps from here rather than the clicks to wins.
  • Try Twitaculous (for Twitter comps) & Compershaven (for FB comps). I mainly use those sites as well as MSE & have had a few wins.

    Don't get me wrong, I do try to do the Click to wins but just the once each month. I do a few sites a day and usually have them covered by the end of the month. I had several hours free one Sunday and actually did them all.. it took about 5 hours and I vowed never to do that again :eek:

    Runner up prize? :rotfl:
  • I'll do the Click to wins if Im bored or there's nothing else worth entering ... but even then I'll just go through each site and enter the ones I like until I get asked to do a Captcha then I'll just give up and move onto the next site.

    Not won anything off them though.
