Dooyoo 2013

Sellurgranny

Hi guys, thanks Spiritwood for starting this thread - I've just joined up to dooyoo aswell - username Kazbob. Hoping you'll add me to your circle of friends and I'll do the same. Safety in numbers!!

Hoping to earn a bit quicker than SB but new to that aswell so its all a massive learning curve for me.

Did you read what I wrote above - to clarify if you adopt a "safety in numbers" approach dooyoo may see this as a "clicking cartel" - there have I think been issues with groups coming from MSE before so try and interact with a range of dooyoo members, sure you will find them to be a friendly bunch (just saying in the interests of being helpful)

Hi azana. Nice to see you here. I'm sure you have a lot of insight into DY being there so long. I had no idea rates used to be un-anonymous...

Just to clarify, I don't think any of us are here to cheat the DY system or what have you by rating and nom'ing each other... just to share "tips" really - like level promotions. This thread is a bit fledgling so hopefully we might even attract some new members to the site...

Sorry I was writing my post before seeing yours azana. I was just trying to get a handle on what dooyoo was all about. Sorry if Im getting the wrong end of the stick.

Thats me told!

Hi sellurgranny (hope it doesn't come to that though) good luck with the site - the best way to earn on there is to be honest, thorough and helpful - the rest can be learned by reading other member's reviews especially those written by guide's or crowned ones.

no not you told at all I sellurgranny was just a bit nervous as it has happened before is all - and miwa don't worry I knew that there was no bad intention in this thread just hope you don't all mind me pointing out potential pitfalls before they happen is all..... like I say been around a bit, though don't really get time to write these days and also am more busy on amazon as they send me stuff to review which is nice

Enjoy!

Azana if you don't mind me asking - what happened before? Did MSE/DY clash (with some War of the Titans-esque imagery)? Thanks for the heads up - will try to keep this as kosher as possible. Like you said I don't think are any bad intentions.

Are you on Amazon Vine then if they send you stuff? Sounds great... The only free thing I ever got was a washing powder sample from a survey.

I don't know the ins and outs I'm afraid miwa, though if you search on this site long enough it's probably all there - somewhere! Yes, it's amazon vine, post your reviews on amazon too and you never know the magic invite might pop on your screen, that's how it went for me, a dooyoo toy (slightly rewritten and shortened) review for a non reviewed item was I think the key....

Impressive. Will take your advice. I see that some people post their (book) reviews on BookBag, but I don't know much about it - another thing to look into!

And I will look into Martin Lewis' depths...so to speak... to see what went down. I hope DY is ok with this thread existing. I can understand why new people might be a bit shy and stick to people they know off the forums but I don't think anything more is going on. And... not to be mean... but most people's first reviews are a bit wonky aren't they? I remember you admonishing me for one of mine a few months ago, I think I improved from then... I think people will either improve or just give up, which is what happens anyway. Anyway - enough babble, thanks very much for all your help.

you are welcome - I always try to put constructive criticism rather than admonish though, honestly - a lot of people don't take criticism as helpful so these days often I just don't say anything - a lot of people will hit VU for everything so sometimes people don't get honest feedback and so their reviews might not be of paying quality and that's when people get upset as after having put in a lot of time they don't get payout. I have never had an issue and neither do most people who try to write ok reviews.

You are right I think it's a learning curve - my first reviews were dire. I think too that some reviews on there are ridiculously long and so there's a happy medium really, as long as people remember that it's a paying site to help consumers it's all good.... you are right too people improve or give up, it's not easy money but it can be quite satisfying. I think bookbag was set up by dooyoo members but apart from vine (quite a lot of dooyoo members are on vine) other people specialise in, say books and set up blogs - there are a lot of books free to review around if you are into books - thanks for saying I helped and I am pretty sure dooyoo would be fine with this thread as is.....

and cooking dinner beckons!
