Advantages: incentives and rewards and great community
Disadvantages: 10 business days on £50 cheques to be sent out
Introduction:
~~~~~~~~~~~
At the time of writing this article, I have not been a dooyoo member for longer than a week. So what has made me want to write this review? Is it because I just want an extra review so that I recieve my 500 dooyoo miles or is it because of another factor?
To answer that question is simple and can be summed up in one word. The big keyword is 'Addiction'!
I am sure you can ask many of the other well established members and they too will tell you that they are addicted to dooyoo. So how does dooyoo manage to make members of theirs addicted within a few days? The magic ingredient lies in a few key factors/ variables:
- The incentives of dooyoo miles
- The comments and feedbacks
- The awards of 'crowns'
- The community on dooyoo
Also to the audience who still is in doubt of dooyoo legitamacy. I can assure you, it is very safe and there are no hidden costs or traps anywhere on the site. What you see is what you get on this site. 100% safe and Promises are kept!
Factor 1: dooyoo Miles:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To tell the truth, my one and only aim of signing up to dooyoo is because of the 50p per review incentive. Who doesn't want to earn some quick cash or vouchers to spend online?
However my aim initially was not for the amazon vouchers but rather for the £50 cash incentive.
I sat there, did the maths and worked out that I could write 10 reviews in under 2hrs per day. That would only mean I would need to keep up this trend for the next 10days and I can reach my target of £50 (given it does take 10 business days to send the cheques out).
Along with every read gaining you additional 15 dooyoo miles, it soon adds up as past reviews you write will accumalate addition points for yourself.
It is considerably decent pay for just writing about your favourite products or games etc. So I thought, why not give it a try.
If you are one of the people that can't seem to wait and want quicker rewards then go for the Amazon vouchers as they are not hard to achieve. Else save up them dooyoo miles and go for the £50 Cash reward.
Factor 2: Comments and Feedback:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So there I was after signing up to dooyoo, writing up quick reviews to earn additional dooyoo miles. However I would never of guessed that these reviews of mine would actually be read. I was given a few comments and suggestions on my firsts reviews telling me that it could use some improvements.
It was at this point that I my role on here started to change.
Instead of producing quick reviews to purely earn dooyoo miles. I was putting more time and effort into producing quality writing which actually made a difference. Immediately I received much better comments on my newer reviews.
So now my main aim to write reviews is not mainly because of the incentives of dooyoo miles, but rather to recieve feedback on my work and feel a sense of accomplishment.
Factor 3: Crowning:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Along with the incentive to write more quality review was the idea of the crown awards. I saw some users have bright gold crowns next to some of their reviews. The immediate feeling of jealousy and wanting of a crown myself filled up inside me. Hence I spent more time concentrating on prodcuing quality reviews to have a better chance of nomination rather than concentrating on other aspects of this site.
As of yet I haven't won any crowns but I will strive and obtain not 1 but an infinite amount of crowns on my profile and reviews. *Well thats the aim, you can let a guy dream right...lol*
Factor 4: Community:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The community on dooyoo is excellent! You actually have people reading your reviews (like yourself right now), so that your opinions are expressed towards them.
Some members leave comments on your reviews expressing their views on the topic and this can lead on to further conversations between the two members. This is great as you get to both express your own opinion and see what other people think about the same topic too.
Also Members on here rate your reviews. It is through these ratings that you know how well you are doing and how well you manage to deplict your ideas over to the reader on the other side. The ratings are greatly appreciated as it lets me know how well my reviews are and what needs to be improved.
Summary:
~~~~~~~~
All in All, dooyoo seems to be the site that has taken over my spare time now. Instead of going onto facebook and surfing through profiles and pictures. I find myself on dooyoo more and more expressing my views and opinions on products and ideas.
This to me is more productive and not to mention there are incentives to get you writing. The extra cash helps as studying in University does leave me with hardly any free money to treat myself on special occasions.
So the combination of Expressing ideas and Rewards for my opinions in my view is the best combination ever created since butter met toast.
The only downside to dooyoo is that it takes up to 10 business days to send out cheques. But thats no reason to complain as it is after all 'free' money.
So why not give dooyoo a go. You never know, you may become an Addict just like myself very soon.
For all addicts of dooyoo, a show of hands in the comment box would be nice so I can see that I am not along in this world of addiction of dooyoo.

- 16/01/09 I think 10 business days to send out a cheque is actually pretty good compared to a lot of other cashback etc sites about. My first cheque actually arrived in 10 days (requested on the 9th, received on the 19th) which I thought was very efficient. Caroline xx |
