Just joined Ciao.com - Need help!

I have been a member with Ciao for several years, but have not written very much lately. The first thing I did was look around the house at what gadgets I had and listed all the things I liked about them. I then did a bit of research on line to get more information and read through the instructions books. Ciao readers like to read how things work and how reliable they are etc. I then started writing the article story in my word processor and when I had finished it, I read it out loud to see how it sounded. I then cut and pasted the article into Ciao, in the right category and submitted it. Other readers like as much detail as possible, that way you get a good rating and your earnings go up as other members read. You get paid only when other members read your article, so it's good to make as many friends as possible.

I have been a member on this site for about a month and a half. The idea is you pick any product or organisation (infact you can review most things for that matter)and write a review on it. The site does stipulate the review must be at least 120 words to qualify for payment any shorter and it is referred to as a quick review. Once a review is written your account is credited the following day although I have been told the US version of the site does pay a more substantial fee than the one I use here in england. After posting 13 reviews I have gained a little over one pound. The idea on this site is you build up community points which in turn helps the rate of pay increase for each review. There are several levels of community status and this can be indicated by the coloured dot which follows your username. To help earn more community points you can read other users reviews and rate them or leave comments this all helps you rise up through the levels and obligates others to in return rate yours. In terms of payouts I cannot comment as I haven't requested anything thing yet but have visited other forums and have been informed you can earn good money from it. Hope this helps...enjoy the site.

I also just joined ciao.com a week or two ago! Since I'm still pretty new there, I'm still kind of figuring things out too, but so far I've been pretty happy with the site. All you really have to do is go into the reviews, then when you find something there that you'd like to also right a review for, then you just go to the link to add your review, and then if you type 120 words or more, then it will ask you for some other information (like pros and cons, how easy it is to use, etc.) about whatever it is you're reviewing and then you can post your review and get paid! Your earnings should then be updated the next morning, like at mylot. So far, I've gotten at least a dollar for every review that I've posted, plus a little extra, I think for when other people read them or something. I reached the $5 payout in the first night I joined, just from spending maybe half an hour on the site, so I've been really happy there! Good luck on the site!

I have signed up in ciao but have not posted anything yet because I am too busy with my writing projects. I do hope that you learned a lot from the responses that you had received and applied it so you could earn from there.

even i wanted to join that side but when i had gonr through the site there were no any statements regarding the pay for each review and i think as i know it pays you only when anyone votes your review and there were no any other pay data and hence i think its really not worth it and then i just joined review stream where they pay you $2 per review or if its selected on bulk rate they pay you 40 cents and the payout is $50 and i had read it here some people had shared about their pay from this site and hence i had joined it and still i am yet to reach the pay. if you want a referral link for this i can send you. here they also pay you when anyone votes but i dont believe that anyone is going to view this page and vote, its very rare but you get paid for the review atleast. if i am wrong about the pay structure of ciao.com please correct me. and good luck.

Just pick a product and write a review for it, and include as much information as you can in it! I used to be a member, but to be honest, you're better off posting on here, as the income is much better. I wrote about 30 reviews and got only £5 for them, and the reviews were good quality as well (I am an english student, so they were at least in correct english.) and they were of a good length. It's so hard to earn on there, you are much better sticking with MyLot!

I have been a member of Ciao for about 2 years now. I have not written reviews but I recieved surveys and that too very few. May be 1 or 2 surveys and payout was also very less. To get 5$ you need to do many surveys. About 2 months ago they send me a mail saying they are updating the site and those who have money in their account to request for pay. My account had less money than the amount for which I could request money and I lost that small amount of money that was in my account.

well i have never before heard about the site so now that you have told me let me have a look and then i will tell what i feel about the site. but one thing is sure apparently it looks like a good site. they give you when you wrtie and that means they can get money form that so if they give you a cut from that it is possible not like other CTP site where you are not sure how they will earn money.

again i have to say sydney that this discussion has been really informative and i have also joined ciao and will try writing there as it seems that you can get to the payout quickly there. best of luck to you too cheers. . .

I thought about joining this site too, but after reading all of this I think I will stick with reviewstream.

Sid, what's your id there..pm me if you don't mind or tell me here if possible. Anyway, I joined it recently too and ain't fairing badly. I have no complaints for now, but wondering when will the a dollar payout ends and when can we cash out and how long is the process through paypal. You have any idea, do tell me. Hope to see you there as well...take care.

hey what i read from here ciao.com is a great site. or is that so hard to earn there. i mean earning money is not easy. we mylot members know that very well. but, after reading through this i'm getting anxious to know about ciao. tough i am not able to trust it as much as mylot. help me out buddies. has anyone received payouts from ciao yet??
