Rafflecopter and Gleam success rate?

Options
I have been entering rafflecopter and gleam comps alongside others on the comp board. Although I have had a few wins from regular comps, I haven't had any from these type yet. Admittedly, I don't always do all of the tasks set as I don't have some of the set accounts. I do the follow on Twitter, tweet, visit Facebook page and comment on blog tasks.

I am going to keep trying, even though they take a bit more effort but I was wondering if other people have had much success with these types of comps.

Thanks:)

    I do the same as you but have not won a thing.

  • Well, fingers crossed for both of us then. I'll keep plugging away for now :)

  • i win between 3-8 prizes per month from blogs running rafflecopter/gleam comps. I win more through these than through social media even though I enter about 3-4 times as many on social media. The key with these is to check that you have completed any mandatory tasks - if you havent then it invalidates your whole entry and sometimes it is easy to miss it.

    I dont enter any that have more than 15 entry routes tho as its too time consuming and I have signed up for things like network blogs and blog lovin and klout specifically for these comps I dont really use them for anything else - and happpily once its set up you dont have to keep logging in so the first couple of times it might take a bit of time to set things up but once your done you can whiz through them
    Anything is possible if you believe

  • Thanks pinkspideruk some good tips. Basically, if you're going to take the time doing RC and gleam comps, then you may aswell do them fully. Like you said, once accounts are set up, it shouldn't be too hard to complete all tasks set.

    Good to see there are wins from these comps with a little bit of effort. :)
  • I do the same maggiee. Although relatively new comper. Have won 5 prizes on Facebook and won one yesterday with clyde1 radio

    I have only won once with a RC and there were 50 prizes. It still hasn't arrived. I tend to find the gleam ones easier and it connects to your Twitter rather than coping and pasting all the time
    Thanks to everyone's hard work in posting comps, and good luck to all :T An iPad A years supply of fudge A book Balance Festival tickets A set of recycled plant pots A £500 nights stay in Chelsea Thanks to everyone
  • Yeah, I prefer the gleam ones too as they also email you to acknowledge your entry. Following on from pinkspideruk's post, I'm not sure I have necessarily being entering all of the rafflecopter ones correctly - I just do the tasks I'm going to do then leave the site.

    I enter the gleam competitions, I only do the Twitter, Facebook, visit website and comment tasks as I don't have any other accounts, I get an email saying what percentage chance I have of winning and what percentage chance I can improve if I complete all of the tasks, so I thought I was in with a chance of winning, I didn't realise I have to complete all mandatory tasks as with rafflecopter competitions. Glad you asked this question as I don't think I'll continue with the gleam ones now.
