Twitter entries

I have only been entering competitions since the beginning of Jan and so far haven't won anything. I have opened a Twitter account just for competitions. What I was wondering is when it say follow and re tweet for a chance of winning, do you need to leave a comment aswell to increase your chance of winning.
Thanks

    I never leave a comment - I've always just done what they've asked for and nothing more!

    I win a lot on twitter,

    Your big mistake is having it just for comps! You need to make it your own add tweets with hash tags that are tweeting for that day, Chat with twitter friends etc.

    Have a few personal photos and custom your photo and cover photo for each occasion like Xmas, Easter etc.

    Also i always let them know i have tweeted and liked, If it is a prize i want badly i will even brown nose ( some people call it lol) and go through there tweets and say things and build a bond with the company.

    Just a few of my tips these work for me.

    I've been comping since november and I've never won anything yet. It's true that I use my twitter account for comping only, and I understand this might not help my chances of being picked as a winner... But then again I haven't won anything on click to win and RC/Gleam comps either, so maybe I'm just unlucky :D
  • I've only strted comping recently and only use twitter for comps. I dont have many followers (27 I think) so I'm sure my chances of winning will be much lower but you never know!
    Wins so far:[/B] Puffin Book bundle, £20 Ed's Easy Diner gift Card X 2, Harry Potter World family ticket, Thorntons chocolate bundle, Primary Times book & a weekend spa break to Cornwall for two, Wubble ball & Refillable balloons

    I have my comping twitter account for quite a while and have tweeted 13.7k times and maybe won about 3 things ever on twitter. So my odds are not good on there. I win much more on other platforms. Thinking of giving twitter comps a miss and spending time elsewhere!
    So many competitions...so little time...

    Shame I have to go to work!

    I'm wondering about doing that too, Trinket. It takes so much time to scroll through Twitter once you start following loads of companies!
