Yesterday I made a new account in Ciao but I didn't really explore it since I really didn't have the time to do it. But today, I wasn't that busy so I decided to write some reviews. I have already written 3 reviews but I'm a bit lost right now.
Can anyone give me some simple facts about Ciao?
How do I earn? When can I cash out?
May I also know how many reviews you've done so far and how much you've earned?

I signed up in ciao 6 days ago. Today I cashed out $22.86 . Thst's much for me considering I work at day and can only have time with ciao in morning and evening. I did around 75 reviews in 6 days. It;s end of the month and it's cash out time. I was so sorry I didnt sign up when the pay was $1 per review. I could have approximately times 4 of my earnings. It's hard work though.

When did the $1 pay end btw? I'm sorry I didn't know about it sooner. Sorrier still that I didn't know I could earn a few bucks in the internet. It would have helped a lot back when I just graduated from school and was looking for a job.Now its a great way to augment my present income.

What I can say you is that , you dont earn more if you only write , you need to read and rate peoples reviews also, comment on them, this way you will increase you community points , this way when you add more people and u read al their reviews , people will read urs as well , and you will earn more. \Ihave written around 37 reviews and earned 22$.
\Add me to ur friend list their , my id is sumind

If you have written 3 reviews with 120 words in it then I am expecting an earnings of not less than 0.75 cents by tomorrow in your account. Ciao only pays a review that is standard with at least 120 words. Our earnings are updated in 24hrs time. You earn additional when members read and rate your discussions and there are corresponding rates on this one too. The more dollar sign you have had in that product then you would earn at least 0.03 cents (which is the maximum). You can read more about this in the guidelines. When you reach the minimum payout of $5 then you are eligible to request payout but it won't be processed until the end of the month. Payments are done only ones a month and it falls in the second week of the following month. In the past months, it did not go beyond the 15th of the month. You can request multiple times in a given month as long as you reach the minimum amount required. But I don't suggest doing this strategy because you will be in the losing end. I only have about 34 reviews so far.

Ciao is a site that caters online shoppers and self-proclaimed critics like us. You make reviews to certain stuff that you're familiar with. Whether its positive or negative, the important thing is that you provide a good and helpful insight about the product, or whatever is available in Ciao.
As for me, I've written a lot of reviews already. Still counting though. I've reached 200 plus since I first signed up. The good thing when I joined this community is that, per review costs $1 usd. Your account gets a dollar per topic only if you reach a certain number of words to qualify in becoming a standard review. Although now, they decreased their payout from one dollar to twenty five cents. But it still a good deal for me, because they do pay you on time. And that is every second of the week on the following month from the day you requested for payment. Its really easy and enticing. Fun with proper earning.

well, i joined ciao a month ago, i wasn't active in writing reviews as i thought ciao's another scam website but i was wrong.. i earned $5 for writing six reviews last month.. now, i have $11 and hoping to get paid next payday.. you can write reviews about gadgets, movies and appliances to name some.. of course, you can't copy to other websites, you need to make your own original version.. you need to have friends so they could rate/comment on your reviews.. you'll get paid .25 cents for every comment you'll receive from other ciao members.. good luck!

I too have just started using Ciao. I have written 10 reviews this weekend and already have $3.77 in my account. Minimum payout shows to be $5 so I will be hitting that real soon. The site seems to be easy enough to use and it seems as though there are real opportunities to earn with it.
