Does Ciao make you money?

jessicajordan

Been looking at this website it looks like you just write reviews and get paid for it? Does it actually pay out? Is it reliable?

Been on ciao for two years and don't use it very often but have made about £200 a year which I think is pretty good going considering all i'm doing is writing about the things i know! I have never had a problem with payment.

I wrote 2-3 short reviews .... and they made some money, but Ciao kept taking it away from me. They also kept changing their terms/conditions and how they worked. I think the current deal includes that if I don't log in for 6 months they keep the money.

So, overall, it seemed a good idea, but it's not worked for me - and it was always one of those things I felt I should have worked at harder. Off to log in now, take a look at my account.

sorry about all the questions but is there a limit to how many reviews i can write?

As far as I know you can write as many as you like but my advice would be not to churn out reviews. if you just write a few at a time then the other ciao members (who are the ones that earn you the money as they're the ones that rate your reviews and each rate gives you the pennies) value you more as they see that you're taking time over your reviews.

It takes a matter of minutes to sign up.

When you want to be paid (and you can do this at any point, you don't have to reach a certain threshold) you just enter you bank details and within a few weeks it'll appear in your bank.

The best advice i can give is to write a review that is over 400 words long so it's quite detailed and make sure you rate other peoples' reviews too so that you are helping other ciaoers earn their pennies and in return the majority rate you back x

ok, so i've joined and written 4 or 5 reveiws, how does it work now?

is it posible to get pennies from getting getting good ratings of reveiws you done months ago?

how much can be made from this? is it possible to make maybe £25 per week or is that not gonna happen?

I've just started on Ciao this week and am not sure whether my reviews are really hitting the spot. Would anyone here be able to take a look at the first four I've posted and provide some constructive criticism? It would be hugely appreciated.

I write reviews for Dooyoo and if the same product is on CIAO I copy and past the review into CIAO. You are allowed to do this. As long as you put "alson on ciao" on the bottom.

For an example for the £75 I earned on dooyoo last month, I earned £18 on CIAO

Ciao does payout, I have earned some money on there but not loads.
Like others here, I copy and paste my reviews between Dooyoo and Ciao with the disclaimer on them, but I have found I earn a LOT more on Dooyoo than I do Ciao.
