This might be a stupid question, are these type of contests genuine/legit? It's just that I've never participated in one and I was wondering if it's for real and you really can win lol.
I have won a competition in the past. So i can promise you they are 100% legit. Unfortunately SO many people enter so it does feel like its impossible. I'm sure others will say they not legit just to make you not enter and give them a higher chances to win lol. Don't give up and keep trying! Its literally luck of the draw.
Not always, but most of the time yes Some competitions require you just to leave a comment below the blog post. The winners are normally updated in that particular post OR there is a new post made congratulating the winners if there are say 10 or more.
