I seriously don't know how people enter so many comps! I've just spent 4 hrs doing some of the past 2days raffle copters and haven't even got 1/2 way through! Not even touched the main board in a while! I see the same names on every rafflecopter and wonder how they have time! I know everyone's different with the time they have but can't see how you could spend all day doing them and still have time for a life, family, house and garden and a job! I end up just going to bed too late, can't be good for your health this comping!!!! Good luck everyone

I have a PA that takes up the slack for me.
Very handy when one is a bit tired.
Plus we avoid the Rafflecopter comps generally.

Ha! I'm a stay at home mum but still have very little time once I've done everything that needs doing as regards housework, child-related stuff and other jobs. Some days I might be lucky enough to find 2 hours spare when I can just sit and catch up on comps, sometimes I go a week without getting time to do any!0 -
I don't do the mag dailies or click to wins. It's also very rare that I the daily RC/gleam as most of the time I am playing catch up with ending dating! If I spot a daily that has something I really want I add it as a short cut on my desktop and do it everyday but we're talking a max of 2/3 at any one time. I know a few people who win a lot on blog comps where there is a daily entry - but then one did say to me that in honesty they sometimes comp for 10 hrs a day.
I have a max of 1.5 hrs a day and I generally divide that between TW/FB and web comps0 -
You will always get people in all diff situations comping, thats the variety isnt it, there have been times ive had 1 hour a day and won a bit, other times ive organised work etc ( im self employed) and i can have 5 hours a day ( my daughters nrly 17) where i comp lots and win naff all lol.. However what always impresses me are people's organisational skills, especially around advents where people have folders for this and that, im often in awe!2025 Wins ::

I have a job with a varied workload, I'll be crazy busy for 2 hours then have another 2 where I have nothing at all to do, which is when I buzz through some comps waiting for something to come up. Plus I'll do some in the evening while I'm chilling out with some TV, and I'm so used to it I can get lots done quickly without actually thinking about it too much.0

I used to do lots of rafflecopter (not anymore, my internets now too slow) and what I did was save the ones I wanted to retweet daily to a folder. I would then open a pile of them at once so that the pages could load and just go through them and retweet. Took about 15 seconds each one and I could do 60 in 15 minutes. At that point I was winning at least 1 rafflecopter a week for about 15 minutes each day and probably about 2 or 3 hours on the first day when I first entered them.January Wins - Signed Higgidy Cookbook, Koala
