Whenever I try to write the review of the product at Ciao I get confused what to write down simply because I haven't use the products really. So ciao users, please provide me the tips how do you actually managed to do this?

Ciao is supposed to be real reviews by people who have used the products. If you haven't used them, how can you possibly write a sensible or worthwhile review? Play the game and stop trying to scam the site.

I know it's not a good to scam the site. But I want to know what actually the people are doing. I guarantee that the people who are writing the reviews out there, they are not actually using the product and still they are writing the reviews just because they have the general idea about what it is. So I here I wanted to know what actually most of the people do, probably they don't all use the products. Please respond if I am correct in what I said.

You might think it's clever or big to try to scam a site like Ciao but it doesn't work out, if you're too lazy to write reviews about products you've actually owned or used, just be aware that your account with be deleted if you're found to be writing reviews about stuff you don't really know. I have been writing on Ciao UK for over 5 years and only write about products that I have used at home or work and films that I have seen or books that I have read. I can spot very easily in a review when someone writes about something they have no personal experience of and I, along with many other honest reviewers, will report any reviews which are fake! So be sensible, use the site properly or get your account deleted for abuse!

Don't worry I wont scam the site. I am not going to write reviews until I know what the product is. That's why I haven't write any reviews till today after its already past two weeks that I joined ciao. Just wanted to know how did the CIAO users wrote the comments out there. whether they really used it or they had just the basic idea then wrote it. Is there any other way to earn through ciao? Thanks for the response!

Well as far as I know you can earn 1 cent for reading and rating other people's reviews - this is actually a good way for you to learn more about writing good quality reviews and earning at the same time, but please don't do what so many other people do - just rate the review without even read it. Ciao has mechanisms in place to detect when people haven't spent a minimum time reading a review - I can just tell by reading some of the comments left on reviews that the person hasn't even read the review - if you want to leave a comment make sure it's relevant to the actual review. At the end of the day, you can make money but just do it honestly and you'll be able to make a long term part time income from the site :) Good luck...
