Negative opinions about Dooyoo are actually true

Dooyoo isn't dodgy, I've been a member there for over a year and in that time I've earned over £400 and they've never once backed out of paying me. My mum is a member there too and she's earned about double that and been paid every time.

They are only a smallish company, and sometimes cheques get delayed. I tend to go for Amazon vouchers as they arrive more quickly and you can always sell them on or use them to buy presents for people etc.

If you think those terms and conditions are bad then you've clearly never read any company's before. Paypal's ts and cs, for example, claim that any money you have in your account belongs to them and they can take it - which is worrying for an account most people have a debit or credit card attached to.

Ratings of 'Very Useful' or whatever aren't relevant because they are other members' ratings/opinions, not Dooyoo's. Most members are too scared to rate anything other than VU because of revenge rating, and a lot of people don't bother reading the reviews at all. The only sneakyish thing about DooYoo is that they like people to write a bit more than 150 words, and they don't like people writing hundreds of rubbish reviews with the bare minimum of words with bad spelling, poor opinions etc. Yes, some people on there write 3000 words every time and that's unnecessary. But you have to look at what you've written more objectively - DooYoo isn't thinking 'How much money can I make in fifteen minutes?' like you are, DooYoo is thinking 'How does this content help improve our web presence, help consumers, and help advertisers?' (or should be).

From what you've posted it doesn't sound like your reviews are particularly good to be honest. It's not money for nothing, you have to put some work in. Most people start off really bad - I did - and get a lot better. There's a category with suggestions and tips for writing good reviews, so maybe you should go back to basics and start there.

Excuse me for sounding rude but that's cobblers.

Search up 'speedy2056' as that is my member username on there and you will see that I wrote up to 1,000 words (sometimes over) on a number of my reviews and in a lot of them, doubled the 150 word limit!

A churner, at least in my eyes, is someone who spills out garbage without a second thought just to get the cash, often barely making the 150 word limit.

Remember, I made 9 product suggestions, ALL of them that I wrote reviews for ended up in the Discussion area so that I don't get paid the obligatory 50p!

I don't think I was money hungry as far as that site is concerned.

My reviews, especially my boxing ones, if you care to read them, actually attracted the attention of a few boxing website administrators who desperately wanted them reviews on their own boxing website and I am now working for two of them!

I am now a news article writer, working whenever I can to report the news and doing previews for boxing events, all due to my work on Dooyoo!

I guess that's the only good that's come out from Dooyoo, really.

You saying that the ratings aren't useful because they are not Dooyoo's, that just further backs up my point about them suddenly having the power to change their tune whenever they feel like it.

Sounds like to me you just want to defend them for the sake of being there for a long time (which is natural, fair doo's) but there is a well respected member on there (who I will not name) that posted a very risky review of Dooyoo on the site itself, criticising it for being biased!

Says it all.

50p isn't really all that much anyway and DY really have no right to be as fussy, or biased, as they are if they expect 1,000 words all the time for a measly 50 pence.

Hi, since reading this thread I decided to join up and have just posted my first review there. Would anyone mind having a look and letting me know what they think - if it's ok? My name there is 'tongueoftruth' (lol) and it's a review of a make-up. I'd appreciate it. I did look at the guidance and the 'crowned' reviews to see what I should be writing, and hope what I've done is going to be useful and entertaining for people.

Rated your review, if you carry on writing them like that, you'll do great on DooYoo :T

You need 20000 points for a £20 voucher don't you?

I think it's 20,000 for charity and 30,000 at least for Amazon voucher... I may be wrong. I cannot check as my account has been closed :mad:
