Competition help

Options
I have only been entering competitions for 2 weeks so haven't won anything yet. At the moment I have just been entering competitions on the main competition forum and I have used the display option so I am entering the competitions that have been listed that day. I think I am being quite picky about what I enter and don't have Twitter and don't want to use my Facebook account for competitions. I am wondering whether to sign up for a Twitter account just for competitions. Where do people get most of their wins from eg Twitter, Facebook, Rafflecopter etc
Any other tips etc would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

    There is no harm in signing up to twitter. I don't get many wins from twitter but they are really quick and easy to enter.

    Good luck

  • It's worth signing up in my opinion. I won 72 competitions last year, 42 were from Twitter and Facebook.
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)

    Sometimes with competitions you can get an extra entries by tweeting the competition after you've submitted your form entry, so having a twitter account for competitions is useful.

    Thanks for the advice. If you win a competition via Twitter, how do they let you know you have won? ( as you can tell I have never used Twitter before).

    they will either mention you or send a DM, you can set your preferences up to email you when this happens so it's not so easy to miss as facebook
