Back to comping after a break - what is Gleam?

HurdyGurdy

I have done a search for Gleam on this forum and it came back "no matches".

I have seen Gleam listed in competition titles, in the same way that FB, Twitter, RC are listed. I don't know what Gleam is. And as I said, no matches when I tried searching on this forum.

Can someone please give me the bare bones of what Gleam is? I don't do RC, so if it is something similar, I will just pass on by the comps that have it in their title.

A bit like rafflecopter - extra things to do to enter. Follow a page on FB, twitter, comment on a blog, that sort of thing. I don't bother - don't do rafflecopter either as a rule.

Thanks elsien. I suspected as much.

I will walk on by then

I do more gleams than raffle copter as they automate tweets etc

I noticed a lot of people saying that they don't do RC comps.
I was wondering how rafflecopter and gleam worked because most of the time with RC you don't even enter an email address or name?

They have the details they need because to use both RC and Gleam you have to be logged in to Facebook/Twitter so they automatically have your Name/email.

Hurdy Gurdy give gleam a try as I find it so much easier to use than Rafflecopter and as long as they don't want you to jump through hoops with asking you to like/visit/watch videos etc on so many pages it is actually quicker than filling in forms sometimes

I never do RC but always do gleam as the entries are automatic its a little click and well if i do want to visit instagram etc i will just skip that one

Some blogger take the pi$$ and make people jump through loops, eg follow here, there and everywhere for a cheap little kids dvd or book or a mascara. I don't enter those comps! Some blogers need to realise that not all applicants have the time to jump through loops to win a prize that is not worth a fiver!
