Has Anyone Ever Won a Twitter Comp?

JammyGem

A friend of mine has been comping for over 10 years and has said not to bother with twitter comps as it's near impossible to win, seeing as most bloggers etc. pick someone in their circle.

Does this ring true for your guys' experiences with twitter comps? Just wondering if she's right and I should stop entering them.

Cheers :beer:

Your friend is misinformed. I'm not a blogger and I had 8 wins from Twitter last month.

I enter around 900 twitter comps/month and I've won 0 in the past 6-7 months. I guess I'm really unlucky.

I set up a twitter account just for comping, and rarely post anything else on there. Do you reckon that affects your chances?

In the 2 years or so that I've been comping I've won around 7 comps from twitter. What you have to remember is the customer base on Twitter pages is very high. Combine that with how easy it is to enter Twitter comps compared to ones where you have to fill in forms, and the number of people entering will also be very high.

I don't think many twitter comps are won by bloggers since the majority of the giveaways are by companies rather than bloggers. Of course you have blogger comps but compared to those that are done via rafflecopter etc (i.e multi page giveaways) I'd say most twitter comps are won by a variety of people.

I think most people's wins are relatively low from Twitter for the reasons above but as they say, you have to be in it to win it! I wouldn't say there is a bias or unfair advantage for twitter comps, but you'll never win if you don't enter.

Or stop entering them so we all have a better chance :rotfl:

Maybe for a small percentage of comps if they specifically look at your page and deem it inappropriate for you to win. I do the exact same and still win occasionally.

I have only won twice on twitter.

I've won a few times on twitter. I think it's just luck of the draw.

In the last 18 months I've won quite a few good prizes on Twitter, £1000 worth of perfume, a microwave, solar phone charger, £150 beauty box, books, £150 makeup box and some little ones too. I'm not a blogger, just a determined comper!

I've been entering comps on Twitter for around 7 years, & only won about 4 times.

I've had a few in my two years on comping, few and far between and mainly little things.
Biggest TW win was a few months ago £200 of Lego from Asda's FreebieFriday Other wins mainly things like books and film merch.

I don't think Twitter comps have anything to do with bloggers and they do not win more. That would be rafflecopter that seems to favour bloggers its just the amount of people entering on twitter. I've entered thousands over the years and won 3 times. FB is also hard to win on for the same reason. Also hard to find out if you have won lol At least with twitter you get notifications or messages.
