DooYoo - Get Paid to Write Reviews Online

jo_b_2

I've opened a new discussion thread about the DooYoo site where you can write review and earn 'miles' which can be exchanged for Amazon vouchers or cash.

Website is www.dooyoo.co.uk although there is currently a referral offer available (see over on the Referrers' Board for more info. Please don't post any referral links on this thread.)

It may be better to avoid posting your DooYoo name on this thread to avoid any suggestion of breaching DooYoo policies and conventions (as you earn more 'miles' for people reading your reviews.) The previous discussion thread can be seen HERE

Happy reviewing! :wave:

Given IDs are listed on the old thread and it can't be edited, can I please ask for the thread to be deleted?

Thanks.

If you have any questions about the site, contact a guide. They know more than most other members about the running of the site and will be able to help you if you're having difficulties. You can contact any of the guides with any issue.

Failing that, here's that list of forums again. Yes, it was posted in the previous thread that they're not busy. All it would take is a couple of you to join up and that's no longer an issue, is it? Either of those first two are probably just looking for fresh blood… the last one does look dead admittedly.

Anyway, those forums in full (again):

If you read our Terms & Conditions, you'll notice that we can block your dooyoo account for anything we suspect is against dooyoo policy. Generally our members are great, but we do sometimes have problems, particularly with dishonest generation of dooyooMiles. There are several situations that will cause dooyoo to block your account for dishonest generation of dooyooMiles. The first is what we call a 'clicking cartel', where many accounts work quickly to generate dooyooMiles for one member, or each other. It's not a bad thing, of course, to read all the reviews of your favourite dooyoo authors, but over the years there have been some rather complicated schemes along those lines. All we can say is don't plot with your friends to rapidly rate each other's reviews - it isn't the purpose of dooyoo and it doesn't work.
Also please don't create multiple accounts. dooyoo can identify when a user has multiple accounts and it isn't allowed, especially not when you use one account to generate dooyooMiles for the others!
Sneaky reviews that just scrape in over our premium review limit (150 words) but do not contain 150 words of genuine consumer review, instead being padded with lists, repetitions, or other non-relevant material are also counted as abuse. We probably shouldn't have to be specific but just in case; for a recipe or food review, for example, a list of ingredients is fine but only if there are at least 150 words of genuine review. Similarly, repeated sentences (or whole paragraphs!), using punctuation to reach the minimum word limit, or some other kind of 'word limit fraud' is considered abuse.
Last but not least is 'rapid clicking'. This is when you click as fast as you can through a friend's reviews to generate dooyooMiles for them. While everyone sometimes clicks through a review quickly if it wasn't what you were looking for, if it becomes a trend (and you do it many times in a row) your activity officially becomes dooyoo abuse.



Just thought some people should read this.

Yay! Brand new thread!

I've had a few pm's asking if the original DooYoo thread can be deleted as people aren't able to remove their DooYoo usernames from the thread.

The thread itself contained lots of useful info about DooYoo so I've kept the main content of the thread and just removed those (110!) posts that contained DooYoo usernames. Hopefully any allegations of clicking cartels should die away now.

I am glad there is a new thread!

I just did one review today but through looking at other new reviews I have found some really good ideas for presents for new babies rather than the usual things. That's an added bonus about dooyoo, finding some well written reviews by other people that make you think about buying something else. There was also an excellent review about Poole and it made me want to go there too!

I have received one £10 voucher and have sent off for another one so when I get that I am going to order my sisters birthday present. I also do survey sites and they are all starting to round off to the £10 mark so have requested Amazon vouchers for them too.

Hi all, I am a Guide on dooyoo (dididave Shopping Guide). I think everyone can get a lot from dooyoo as long as they give what they take. Simple as that. If you rate as much as you are rated (which is quite easy you know) you will find that you get more from the site.

I know it is tempting to post a load of 150 word reviews so you can clock up the miles and cash out as quickly as possible but you will inevitably start to lose out as people stop reading your reviews and although you may find it lucrative in the short term (as long as you keep within the site rules), in the long term your earnings will inevitably suffer.

If anyone does have any questions about the site BTW I would be happy to answer them.

Evening all!
I've been using Dooyoo for a while now and am very close to being able to claim my £10 Amazon voucher... Question is, do I leave it and wait until I can claim the £50 cash instead? What would you be more inclined to do?

Do you really need the £10.00 voucher right now, leave it and go for the £50.00 cheque. If you get fed up waiting you could cash in at anytime now you have the required miles.
