I know there are some real hardcore compers out there and I have read stories about people making a lot of money or winning a lot of "stuff" from internet competitions.
I used to do a LOT of competitions about 10 to 12 years ago - when most of us were still on dial-up, Mark Zuckerberg was still at Primary School and smartphones didn't exist. I had a fair bit of success with them too - best prizes were a pair of diamond earrings worth about £250 in a Valentine's Day related promotion and two return flights to anywhere in France with a week's car hire thrown in. We had a really good holiday in the Dordogne and all we paid for was a week in a gite. I also won lots of smaller things like wallets, DVDs, tshirts, software or chocolate.
Have given up these days though. There are just SO many competitions, so many websites, and I don't want to spend hours every day entering things where there is such a low probability of winning.
Is anyone a dedicated comper and is it still worth it?
