    I've just joined, done 2 reviews and have 1030 points. I think I'd quite enjoy this doing 2 reviews a day or something.

    Are the amazon vouchers physical vouchers, or is it just credit added to your account? Either sounds nice :)

    Tha amazon vouchers are emailed to you and you just log into your amazon account, input the number and it credits your account. I have just joined a cashback site and am going to credit my vouchers through that as I will get cashback (hopefully!)

    My advice would be to write no more than 2 reviews a day. When I first joined, I was advised to write one in the morning and one at night and that way you get maximum viewers for your reviews. It also helps if you read and rate the reviews written by others, that gets your name known and people will add you to their list of people to read..

    Have you tried joining ciao or epinions as well? You can post your reviews on these sites and get paid as well. I post on all three. Ciao pay into a bank account for any amount as long as its over £5 and epinions is $100. I have had vouchers from dooyoo and money from ciao, epinions havent paid yet as I havent quite reached the goal!

  • I've joined recently and am enjoying writing reviews, it's nice to have somewhere to voice your opinion on things.

    Have a couple of questions, people have said about posting your reviews up on Ciao as well as dooyoo. Does Ciao pay just for the writing of reviews or do you only get money from people reading and rating your reviews?

    Secondly, is there any reason you've suggested writing no more than 2 reviews a day?

    Thanks for your help

    ive just started. some of the members are so fussy about what they want to read, but ive found out that it doesnt matter how they rate you, as long as they do rate you so that you get extra money. its an odd website as the members seem to find it very important that no information is left out, therefore there are so many ridiculously long reviews.
    the good thing is that you can get paid as long as you write over 150 words which isnt difficult.

    I started writing reviews yesterday. I've wrote 6 so far and have earned 3480 miles. They mount up pretty quickly, and I can already see myself getting addicted to this site! It bothers me a bit how fussy some people are about what you write in your reviews, but I think I've found the balance of what to write. Enough detail that it lets you know as much as possible about the product, but not so much that it makes your review lengthy and boring!

    I've been a member since April and I got quite addicted to start with and was writing 5 or 6 a day. Now I try and do one or two a day ( although I haven't done any today!) Some of my first reviews were not that great, but I think I have got the balance right now too. I am aiming for the cash which is a minimum payout of £50. I'm at £35 (35000 points).

    This week I've been doing Dooyoo and Slice the Pie, but it looks like STP scout room will probably be closing soon, so I will be able to concetrate a bit more on Dooyoo. I just like the way you can review pretty much anything and get paid (hopefully) for it.
  • All I'll say on this is be careful - read number 13. of the "Using DooYoo" bumf...

    That's not to say I won't be more inclined to read reviews from familiar names - it's just human nature :)

    I'm looking on Dooyoo and I guess I must be looking in the wrong place because I can't find the information I'm looking for! I've found the bit that says you can get rewarded for your reviews by earning 'Dooyoo Miles', but I can't find anything that tells me what these miles are worth.

    Forgive me, I haven't read the entire thread, but I have noticed people talking about getting Amazon vouchers - but I don't see any mention of Amazon vouchers on the Dooyoo site. Please can someone give me quick rundown of how many miles or points you earn and how these are transferred into something more tangible?

    Thanks

    10,000 dooyoo points is worth a £10 amazon voucher though once you get up to 50,000 points you can withdraw actual cas instead and I think that 1,000 points coints for £1 or something like that...
    I'm pretty sure off the top of my head though log in and read that for all the info

    Thanks - I don't want to register until I know if it's worth it, though! That's obviously why I can't find the info I want, because I'm viewing the public, non-member bit!

    If you get the equivalent of £1 for 1000 points, how much do you need to do to get 1000 points? I mean, on bview it works out about 50p per review, so I was just wondering if Dooyoo is a similar sort of rate?
