How do they do it?

Hello,

It's just a question really not a complaint, but I notice a lot of the time the same people win all the best things in both Twitter and Facebook, is there a reason for this I don't know?

Any suggestions please?

    Personally I think sometimes same people seem to win more on one platform as they tend to enter a lot on that platform.. I've thought before I've seen someone win twice or more in one week but then when I've looked on there profile they have literally been ebtering competitions all day!

    I agree with Jadey - some compers may just focus completely on FB comps and enter them constantly throughout the day (and how they don't get warned by FB for sharing so much baffles me!)... and other compers may focus completely on Twitter comps and enter them constantly throughout the day too. Those compers are very likely to win FB/Twitter comps if they enter lots each day.

    I am the sort of comper who enters a variety of comps each day so I don't just focus on one platform. I win a FB comp once in a blue moon and I haven't won a Twitter comp in years, simply because I must enter 5 a year if that!

    So it is all down to how many you enter I suppose - the more FB/Twitter comps you enter, the more prizes you are likely to win.
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    It does seem that way, before i started comping my mum was, and to me she was winning loads, so i started and now people say to me oh your very lucky with your wins, but they dont realise that ive probably entered 300+ competitions to get that one win! Ive only ever had one facebook win and that was a 50 winners so i had a fair chance, i'd like to win one where there is only one winner....me lol.

    I don't think there is any secret formula, just lots of perseverance. I seem to win fairly frequently on Twitter these days, although usually only small things (books, DVD's/Blu-rays etc). I've found i have far more success when i leave a comment with my retweet than when i don't. Although that could just be a coincidence. Doubt it hurts though, it at least adds a human touch.

    Good luck.

    I mostly do but I still can't seem to win much!! Despite entering most web, Facebook and Twitter comps posted. Must be a luck thing and hope my luck changes!

    I will maybe try to be more inventive for my posts too!

    Like here : http://winit.winsomething.co.uk/winners/p/2

    The same person won 3 C2W's in 2 days ... can't name the name.
    There's a certain person from Flintshire that wins a lot of them too if you go back through the pages
