    This is a question which is asked a lot. Different people enter different amounts but of course the more you enter the more chance of winning! I enter at least 80-100 a day just jumping on and off the computer when I have chance. It can get a bit boring enter comps all day but you gotta be in it to win it! Download roboform to help you with filling out forms, save loads of time.

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D

    Hi vicki, I enter around the same amount as littleholly, but I make sure I only enter the ones that I want to win the prize for or that I could give to a relative or friend :) There are still loads out there even if you are being selective!

    I use Autofill Forms on Firefox & also AutoHotkey & also Snaplinks - if you google you can find them all quite easily - I find they just take a lot of grunt work out of entering :)

    I started entering comps on 12 July '07 & then wins started the following month - you have to wait after entering for the end dates to come around & the winners to be drawn & notified! So it can take a little while to get the Prize Pipeline flowing ;)

    Good luck with your comps & feel free to pop into the Compers Inn & relaxe after a hard days comping :D
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    I don't count up how many I enter, but basically enter all the ones posted on here that I want to, which would probably amount to about 100 a day:eek:
    I always find it amazing how many comps there are out there.

    I also use roboform and find that a godsend.

    As velvet glove says, you do have to wait a while to start winning due to the end dates. But once they start coming in, you will be up every morning cursing the postie if they are late.:rotfl:

    Good luck with your comping vicki.:beer:

    Hi Vicki

    I think I enter about 20 - 30 (sometimes more) on-line comps each day. I also do quite a lot of postcard comps as well and have had a lot of nice wins from those.

    Keep at it and hopefully it won't be too much longer until your first win :grin:
    2022 wins include.... £1,000 cheque £150 ASDA gift card £250 Impericon gift voucher £100 cheque £100 of plant bulbs £100 Bower Collective voucher

    I only enter comps on this site and probably about 80 a day. I only enter ones that myself, family or friends will use. I enter the online and texts comps but not the others.
    I use roboform and fire fox which cuts down the time filling out the forms.

    Good luck and happy comping ;)
