Are Click to wins worth it?

zombieslayer25

It feels like it takes me forever to get through all the click to win comps that I want to enter so Im wondering if Im better off spending my time doing other comps? Ive only been doing them since late October so haven't given it much chance to be fair, but I dont know if I, wasting my time with them.

Have many people won on them?

Thanks

I gave up on them after not winning for 6 months and they added loads more sites after that

I don't do many as they would take over my life. I just do some when I feel like it. I have won a few small prizes, worth about £10 and one biggie (£500 ASOS voucher).

I think you have more chance on those that would not appeal to everyone. So for example, if your hobby was golf, you might find not many people enter for the golf gloves, but loads of people would enter for a laptop or tablet.

Yes just like normal comps. Im just wondering if they are much better than the likes of Get Me A Ticket etc.

I have won on mag dailies a few times so carrying on with these so those who dont like click to wins do you bother with mag dailies?

I have done mag dailies for years and not won a thing, but I have won four prizes on the CTWs this year - one worth £750 and one worth £500, so I keep doing them. They are mind-numbingly boring though.

The difference between the one you mention and those like them is they are data harvesters who have no product to sell except for your information unlike most other competitions where a company has an actual product/service they can raise awareness of and/or sell to you - C2Ws for example are part of Bauer Media who own numerous magazine titles, radio stations etc.

A C2W winners list

I occasionally do some of them (winning several) but prefer to have for example 1 entry into 1,000 different competitions rather than 1,000 entries into just 1.

Thats a good point and not something I hadn't thought of.

Didn't realise there was a winners list. I might carry on then, but as gentleorange has stated they are boring and take me ages (the slow internet living rural being a problem)

EDIT I didn't look properly and now see that link isn't a thread on here. Silly me :rotfl:

Actually Im not going to carry on with them as they are so boring, but spend time entering more comps instead.

I don't like spending a lot of time entering competitions due to wanting free time and having other obligations so I tend to have 2 hours maximum a day for them. 15 minutes or so on mag dailies as I find them very quick to enter and I've managed to win some amazing prizes. With c2w's, they take forever to enter and the captchas are very annoying. With the addition of all those extra sites, they're even more daunting and it's just extra time that I don't have. That said, I might try entering them again for about 2 months and see if I win anything. But on second thoughts, I might just leave it as it is lol.

I don't go for click2wins much at all. I did when I first started comping a lot and gave up after a few months. I do like to dip into the mag daily occasionally, I won one thing on them that wasn't all that big. I prefer entering lots of different competitions though. ! (and I do find both very dull once you've entered the same comp a couple of days in a row!)
