Dear Bloggers Who Hold Giveaway's/Competitions

Hi Family Clan :hello:

Unfortunately I'm not able to physically comp much at the mo, the only comps I'm entering is a few raffs & gleams no where near as many as I used to. For me I don't mind how many daily entries you add on your raffs & gleams because it's up to me if I do them or not so it does not hurt me how many you add!

The video's I click play & leave them playing in one window & carry on comping then once done go back & click enter, you still get your youtube video views up & I get an entry win win. I'm not sure if only zooming through the video's to get the enter button actually counts for us & if you get a view added?

I don't find entering them the time consuming bit it's finding them to enter that's the pain bit, there is no one stop for all or most blog comps they are spread over comp website's, blogs, FB & Twitter so ok I know how to find them but it's the time it takes & it's doing the same thing day in day out that gets you :wall:

I used to run a blog that rounded most up & post here & Loquax & competition database before but my heath's too bad at mo but think a better list in one place would be a good start at getting more people to enter. So that means most of the bloggers who hold comps often to agree & go to the same place to post them up. I would suggest LuckyDi Competition database or Loquax (I'm banned from Loquax so I would not see them).

Also a fair few people stopped entering them way back when twitter changed it's rules on how many times you can tweet last year & does not like multiple links being tweeted either so if you enter comps on raff that have the daily tweet option you are shaddowbanned like I am. This does not stop your entries going through them, if your not winning any raffs try changing your email address you sign into twitter with & raffs as I had a email ban either or on both raffs & twitter go figure! I'm currently on a search ban as well as a thread ban though you can find my twitter page yay me!. So when I'm tweeting your daily tweet option you can check I've tweeted it by checking the tweet link I add on the raff but no one else can see the tweet so it's not spreading your comp & blog on twitter like it used to. Of course not everyone is shaddowbanned so I guess you will still see some people's tweets coming up

I also think some people got put off entering any comps when the the whole privacy thing happened earlier in the year I don't think people knew how far & wide their info was going though I don't think that's as much of a problem with blog comps.

I've no idea if any of that helped but thank's for asking if you don't ask you don't know!.

Right off for a rest now phew! _pale_

I wouldn't worry about what everyone else is doing, just enjoy the hobby enter what you want to how many times you want to then forget about it & who knows you could get a winner notification :j

Of course it's to gain traffic & their own brand awareness same as "normal" comps hopefully I've helped with that over the years

If I thought about how many entries other compers were getting in a comp over me if I didn't enter all the daily entries it would not be worth comping & certainly would not be a fun hobby anymore

Just enjoy it, enter what you want how ever many times you want never mind about anyone else is doing like I posted it does not hurt me how many daily entries they have because I don't think about comps in the same way you do, neither way is right or wrong it's just how each of us think about entering comps is different :j
