I joined Ciao.com (under the same nick) last October 9, and is excited to reach the very easy to reach minimum payout of $5. I've already requested my payment thru Paypal as I reached $9 wishing that I'll be able to get it on the second week, next month. *fingers crossed* Well, I've read from reviews that Ciao is a legitimate site. Right now I'm continue writing reviews. It's kinda addicting like myLot. You can also rate and leave comments for co-members, add friends, rate each other, and the best part, you get community points by rating, viewing/reading reviews, commenting (which gives you some cents for that) and earn even if you're not writing everyday. Your reviews are working for you. So far, that's what I observed.
My current community points is 1205. They have a calculation for that which can be found somewhere in the site. Community points in Ciao.com is basically equivalent in myLot as "participation".

Massive congratulations for reaching your fist payout on Ciao. I am a member of both the UK and more recently the US versions but as of yet haven't cashed out. Just like the idea of building up a big sum to cash out at the end...well that and the fact the UK version is fairly difficult to earn on when compared to it's sister american site.

Thanks for the warm greeting, metalchick. Well, at least you can join both the UK and US versions. ^^v What's the difference between the UK and US Ciao sites? Why is it hard to earn on the UK version?
What's your username at the US Ciao? Can you add me as your friend? thanks! be seeing you! ^^v

Well for every review you submit in the US site your looking at earnings of $1 but if you submit the same thing in the UK version your be nearer the £0.12 if that mark. Don't know why they differ so much so I try and use both. On the US site I go by the same name as I do here.

Yes Owelm0408, you get 1 cent when persons rate your reviews positively. but you earn only in that way. Once you write full length reviews you get paid $1 for each. They update your payments every 24 hours so you won't see it until the following day. Don't write any short reviews (which is 120 words or less) as you wont get paid for that! I myself make sure my reviews are at least 151 words so it can be stored as standard review. There is a word counter on the right as you type to let you know how many words are needed for full length review and how many words you've typed so far.

Thanks for that information, dueken. It's kinda confusing navigating the site, really... what's your ciao nick, by the way? I hope we can read and rate each other's reviews. How are you doing with Ciao? I already reached $20+. I'm really getting excited by the day. ^^v
