God I love this thread... I’m just annoyed with myself that I didn’t seek it out sooner! You are all fantastic and you’ve given me some great money saving ideas!
I signed up to Dooyoo yesterday, after reading about it on here. I have written my allowance of reviews for now, but I have five more ready to upload (I think I could become an addict!).
I was just wondering if anybody has made any money from it and if so how long took. It says that points can expire and I’m a bit worried about that. I don’t want to put all this effort in for nothing!
Thanks for your help guys! :money:

I made £25 in my first month on DooYoo. But I do put the effort in to reading and rating everyone else. I don't do more than one or two reviews a day. I waitin until the last review has been read at least 20 times, before I write another and I always return ratings (which takes a while lol).

You can do really well on dooyoo but if you go for 5 a day you'll find the quality of your writing will suffer and you'll burn out pretty quick.
You get out what you put in, as they say.

Thank you for the advice!

I write for a living so I'm not worried about burning out, just running out of things to review! I will make sure I return all the ratings I get to build up my score that way.

Thanks again for the advice!

Postie has been and now have another £25 of Tesco clubcard vouchers :j.

Plus I've listed some stuff on our work ad board so hopefully will make a bit more :T

Worked out my full total made for the year is £677 but I still have to add in my sealed pot

£23 for me, though cheeky of Tesco as my balance has been over £30 worth for ages and £10 has been carried over (so i can't spend it on xmas stuff I expect!)

Post one padster :D

Dooyoo is good, requires a bit of time but you get more out of it more quickly than surveys in my opinion!

eBay was bad at the weekend, nothing sold, think because of Halloween and half term and the post being rubbish. Not sure that I'll do it again. Might do an attic sale this Saturday!

Well done Paddingtondoo with the gold.

Clubur85 will look for you on Dooyoo.

Jammy shame about Ebay, attic sale sounds good, where will you be holding it?

Have received £11 from Get Pounds Back and £6.50 Quidco this morning. Didnt get any Dooyoo done yesterday really as went to see my Dad. Had a look in the farm shop and saw some lovely bits for food hamper but very dear in there so we went to Tesco on the way home and I bought some bits in there half the price of farm shop. Was loking for nice looking labels and they all seemed to be on the top shelves where I can't reach because of dodgy arms so had Dad lifting everything down for me. Bought some apple chutney, strawberry preserve (jam lol), mincemeat (exp date is 2012 so sil can use it next year if nt this), salad dressing, small box choc mints, small packet shortbread, box of organic cookies. Already had some bars of chocolate. Have put them in the basket which isnt that big and it looks bare still but the shopping only came to £7 ish and I had £3 luncheon vouchers and £10 Tesco card so still have £5 odd left on the card. When we got backt o Dad's we had a look on the Harrods web site at their smaller hampers and saw one with similar things in it except they have a bottle of champagne and a bottle of wine I think (and may be a few other items) and the hamper is over £200 lol.

Well done everyone :j

Finally got my CDwow E.voucher of toluna yesterday which got spent on a doctor who encyclopidia for DS1 so another pressie on its way.

Did anyone else get their free bold liquid wash??? forgot all about it and have had 2 delivered this week so that saves a few more pennies and there is £5 worth of vouchers in with it too:j (Shame mr t's has stopped taking vouchers unless your buying product )

Been busy doing faffy jobs round the house that I#ve been putting off and reviewing on bview so not had much time to get online.
