Just how do yoooouuu do it?

Hey everyone, newbie here! but been at it quite solidly for the past 3 days in between jobs - really good fun hobby whilst also potentially beneficial!
How many comps do people enter on average a day?
Do you guys have certain pages on here that you tend to use more?

Ive probably entered about 50 a day at the moment. Winning something would be great, but if not, its still exciting!

Cheers!

    If you include the click to wins and daily mags, it is quite easy to enter 1000 comps per day

    I can enter 200 comps in less than 10 mins on Twitaculous

    I quite easily enter 1000+ a day at the moment including all the daily entry comps I do. It's a great hobby, good luck on getting your first win soon! xx

  • Wowzers! 1000!!
    Any tips... I have autofill sorted. Do you just smash it for most of the day?
    I am seriously not working hard enough!
    Twitaculous looks fun -

    I enter and forget and if I get a win out of something then brill. You've got to be in it to win it but enjoy it and don't take it too seriously at the same time!

    I've had a lot of extra time recently as finished one job just before Christmas but starting my new job on Monday so will have less time then!

    I enter any type of comp really except Facebook sharing as don't want to annoy my friends on it with constant stuff! A lot of people say rafflecopter comps are a good bet as they get less entries, i've won one RC comp so far xx

    No idea how some are entering 1000 a day! Do you rest?! That must take some dedication! :eek:

    I must enter about 200 minimum a day; don't really keep record but I enter a lot on twitter a day so that accounts for a lot. I just pick ones that I want to win for various reasons (like to give as a gift, for myself, occasions etc.) rather than entering every competition that is listed. I've won the most from web comps, a few times from twitter and RC, so all methods are worth it! I don't use FB, so that narrows down how many I can enter a day. I haven't won less than 4 prizes a month since September, and when you consider I've only been doing it since July that's pretty good!

    One thing I will say; make sure you're subscribing to RCs as they pretty much all contain daily entry. Or just subscribe to any daily even; I forgot to when I first began and narrowed my chances of winning down hugely. And if a competition requires effort then you are an awful lot more likely to win, as some people can get lazy with them and so don't enter them as often ;)

    Best of luck! :)

    I didn't say I entered 1000 comps a day, I said it is easily done.

    There are 100s of C2Ws and 100s of daily mags, Twitter comps are also one click entries ect

    I also only enter for what I would like to win for my family or myself.

    I reckon 1000 comps in 4/5 hours is a doddle ;)

    Apologies for my misreading!
    I'm just, hate to admit it, but I get incredibly lazy after a while. 1000 comps; just reading it makes me feel tired! ;)

    Ah, didn't consider the click to wins and mags; I don't enter them either. I can see your point now.

    You really don't need to do 1000 comps a day, I win something every month and only do about 200 a day, max. I also do the mags and click to wins. and daily instants, Rafflecopters and effort comps, but I'm very selective on what I enter. aim big, and win big. :D
