    Quote "Most of her wins come through Instagram, but she also scours Facebook, where she is a member of several comping groups, and special forums.

    She mainly enters competitions where all you have to do is "like" and share a social media post, or follow a certain account,"

    Where am I going wrong?  :)


  • If instagram didn't have a limit on commenting/sharing to stories, it would be easy to see how she wins so many. I just don't understand how you can win that many when the limit is so low. Perhaps she is a member here and can share her secrets ha

    It's £70k since 2012, not £70k a year? ... and do i believe she wins 30 prizes per month ... no.
    A pub cleaner, with 3 kids has the time to enter that many comps and, according to her top tips "Make sure you read the rules fully " ... there literally aren't enough hours in the day.

     "Leave a personalised comment under every giveaway post" - Do you think this actually helps? I rarely do this and I confess I tend to eye roll at some of the begging comments I've seen on comps. But I guess if it helps......?

    her instagram is ********** if anyone is interested 
    I think posting this would be against the forum rules since she hasn't given you permission to post her IG.

    Depends on the competition, or how they claim they'll draw the winner, if it's "random" then it shouldn't make a difference.  On Facebook comps I would assume it would be harder to select a "random" winner, so I suspect they will choose the comment with the best response or at least pick randomly from the best comments ... who knows really.  You should always try to stand out from the dross though on the off chance that someone is actually reading the comments (You don't need your mother to die, or have terminal cancer every day you just need your reply to stand out ie not "Oh Wow, thanks for the opportunity to win this great amazing prize")
