“A lot of people join Ciao thinking they will suddenly...”

A lot of people join Ciao thinking they will suddenly earn lots of money. I originally joined ciao in 2004 I think, I didn't realise there was even a reviewing section, i joined the survey. It took me a year to earn £8, it was tedious and I didn't really enjoy it, I took the £8 and ran. The surveys weren't emailed to me very often and a lot of the time I'd get 10 minutes in and then be told I wasn't in the right criteria to complete it, it left me wondering whether I had actually done the survey but not got paid for it..

Then I discovered the review section, I like writing and am a fast typer. A review on here about ciao says they joined monday and left on the friday, no wonder you didn't enjoy it, you didn't give it a chance! You can't join a website and expect fast money. With Ciao Uk you start slow, you start getting to talk to other members on there, the longer you are on there the more members will recognise you and rate your reviews and you should always return the rates and read their reviews.

In my first six months I earned £55, I could have earned more as I didn't put constant effort in. I stopped using the site for nearly a year, but in the last month I have earned just under £20. If you put in the effort, write clear reviews, rate many member's reviews, you will be entitled to receive from the website's monthly Premium Fund. As long as you are active and receive a good collection of ratings for your reviews, I'd earned around £5 for my five reviews, yes this isn't much but there are so many members on this website you can't expect amazing payouts. As i'd been active though I received £13 in the Premium Fund, so this almost tripled my earnings.



Give the site a chance, get involved more when you're on it, it starts slow but if you keep up with it and learn how to use it properly you can really earn well. There are weekly review competitions if you win 1st, 2nd or 3rd place you win £7, £5 or £3 respectively. There is a monthly topic you can enter and the highest rated review will win £15. There are many ways to earn on here, it is the highest earning website I've come across in the last 5 years I have looked, so yes it is probably the best review site there is. There is no doubting whether you'll receive your money either, it can take anything from a week to 5 weeks to receive it depending on the date you request it, but it goes straight into your account.
