What's your comping routine?

yorkie18

I rarely use this site for entering competitions, I think it's hard to find specific competitions or to avoid ones which have already been entered. I usually use Prizefinder, closing soon ones first and then work my way through. I open every single (unentered) competition on a new tab and then work through them one at a time, closing any I'm not interested in. I will do all types, forms, Facebook, twitter, Rafflecopter, Gleam.

Can I just ask, is there a reason why many of you prefer not to enter on Rafflecopter? I've found I've won a few things this way.

Interesting to hear all your different methods

I don't mind Gleam as they are quick and easy, but I find I spend too long on just one rafflecopter and some have a list as long as my arm to like this page or like that page. If the prize is something I really want, I will enter and do the daily tweet if it requires you to.

I pretty much enter everything else if I can

I do the dailies first thing (missing those annoying ones that only get new daily posts at 2pm.)

Then about 10pm I go through the ones that will end the next day. Sometimes I also do the few from the next month of that date too, so if I'm doing the 07/10 ones I'll also do the 07/11 ones that are listed just before.

On weekends and days off I will sometimes also do the CTWs and the Mag Dailies, and the ones that end the same day.

I will only bother with a Rafflecopter or effort (Pinterest/photo/poem) comp if I would be excited to win the prize. I try to limit FB L&S comps because my family tracked me down and friended me and now I have to be careful not to spam them. I like twitter comps but I think my wings are about to be clipped because I'm nearly at 1000 following...

How do you put them in date order? I change mine to newest post first but I'm sure I'm missing out on the ones ending soon.

At the top of the thread it says TITLE and then SORT with an arrow next to it ... I press that and it sorts them into order of title which puts all the dates together, I then find the page with tomorrow's date.

I find them time consuming, if I'm at a desktop I find them easier but on the iPad the Rafflecopter takes ages to load and if I click a link and then go back to it the page sometimes refreshes and have to wait for it to load again.

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I entered competitions until I woke..
