Being a student, I am often a bit stuck for cash and although I do have a part time job I am often looking for ways to make a few more pennies (or pounds, better still!). I have been a member of some survey sites for around a year now and I really enjoy them. I feel its a great way to earn some extra money without physically working too hard!

I hadn't heard of Dooyoo until recently, although I was familiar with Ciao but I had never actually used it as the website seemed far too complex and I thought it would be a waste of time. However when I came across Dooyoo I thought it seemed much more appealing and user friendly. I think the whole concept of reviewing products to help others is a great idea and it allows people to create a balanced opinion on a particular product or service before they buy into it which ultimately saves time and money.

I feel I am grasping the idea of the website now and each day I find that I am getting the hang of it more. I must admit I was a bit clueless at first but the help pages are a life saver! I have found myself spending much of my spare time on here when I probably should be doing other things - it is rather addictive.

I feel its really good for people to write honest reviews about products they are passionate about so this can be passed onto others to influence the opinion of others. Likewise, I find it really interesting rating reviews honestly and telling other Dooyoo members how they could possibly improve their review - I think constructive criticism is definitely key.

**WRITING REVIEWS**
Although a Premium review is only 150 words, I generally try to make mine longer and more in depth to help those that are reading them. I think 150 words is the bare minimum and all Dooyoo members should aim to write a fair bit more than this. I try to write reviews as honestly as possible with as much detail as I can.

**RATING REVIEWS**
I really enjoy reading peoples reviews, particularly on products that I'm interested in. It can be interesting how members how a totally different view on the same product, it fascinates me! Although I don't think its fair that people do 'revenge rating' when others just try to point out where there is room for improvement!

Overall I have really enjoyed using Dooyoo so far and I look forward to writing and rating more reviews! Its a great way to earn a bit of extra cash while having fun, even if it doesn't make you rich!
