Advantages: Make £££ $$$, Informative, Make friends

Disadvantages: Can become addictive, lol, Takes a while to start making £, Pay rates have declined a lot since these sites began

Making money from opinions is exactly what it says. Companies pay you for providing your information and opinions of products you have used, places you have been and films you have seen etc. Its as simple as that. They get money from people reading you opinions because there will be adverts on the same page. So they pay you to provide the content for their site. These sites pay the good writers with the best information a decent amount of money.

i know someone who, between the 3 online review sites she uses earns up to £75 a month and that's not being totally dedicated to using them every day. If you wanted to you could really make lots of opinions about everything you have used every film you have watched etc. And as long as the opinions had a decent amount of quality content you will find yourself with a decent amount of money. Its also worth signing up your friends because you get money for signing them up as well and in some cases you also get a percentage of there earnings.

Again just like the others these sites do not ask you for any money. Its a totally no-risk scenario. So well worth checking out. You don't have to visit every day in fact if you don't like it then you just don't go back its as simple as that.

such sites are a great innovation in E-business and a great opportunity for everyone to earn a little cash for something natural. After all you always have an opinion on something don't you. There are even topical debates you can comment on. There is something there for everyone.

Here are some brief details about the main sites in question:
---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- ----------------------------

Dooyoo

Pay rate - 3p for every member read. plus £1.50 for every review the editors think is top quality.
Location and Age restrictions - Pays in the UK in £'s sterling

Good points on Dooyoo are the pay rate and

the pay options. 3p per member read is about the best you will get with the amount of members that Dooyoo have.. There are plenty of ways to claim your money as well. You can have it sent to you in the form of a cheque or as vouchers for various high street stores. You can have it donated to charity, you can have it converted to Ipoints in case you use the Ipoints scheme.

Being in the UK does have its advantages though because you should get your cheque within 5 days of request (the site states 10 days) you normally have to wait quite a few weeks for cheque's that come from the US.
---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- ----------------------------

CIAO

Pay rate - 1p per member read + Plus a month premium fund of over £1000 split between the top opinions some earning up to £30 each.
Location and Age restrictions - UK version of the site, pays directly into your bank account (must be 14 or over)

The system is a bit of a cross between Dooyoo and Epinions. It has the trusting in terms of Dooyoo such as they provide a link to the reviewers which you trust. As far as I know there are no reviewers classed as the best or any advisors as such everyone is on a par with each other.

The best thing that CIAO has inherited from Epinions is the Income share. Its called the CIAO premium fund. All this means is the opinions that CIAO class as the premium out of the lot will receive extra financial credit. CIAO Has certainly improved a lot since its early days. The amount of members have increased significantly.
---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- ----------------------------

EPINIONS

Pay rate - 1cent - 3 cents per member read plus unlimited potential on Income share. (best around $25 per opinion)
Location and Age restrictions - Pays anywhere in US Dollars.

Epinions is easily the best way to make mo

ney online. For simply writing a few good quality pieces of information and viewpoints about anything you choose, you can get yourself a decent little income. There is a very good system at Epinions where the reviews get rated by other reviews and the best reviews get to the top of the list and hence read more often than the other reviews. When you are reading reviews in order to get some information on things you don't know about or want an opinion on yourself, the reviews that appear at the top of your list will be the ones that are from the people in your web of trust.
---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- ----------------------------

Consumer Reviews

Pay rate - £1.00 for signing up, 10p* per opinion and 5p per member read.
Location and Age restrictions - UK based, pays in £'s sterling

Consumer reviews is pretty new at the moment and so is paying a very high rate for writing reviews while it gets up and off the ground. So there has never been a better time to sign up and get writing. 10p per review is the best around and the 5p per member read is also at the top end, on par with Dooyoo.

The site is pretty basic though very text based and with lack of features such as Advisors and friends etc. Rating and comments are present though so its still pretty productive at getting rid of the really bad reviews. If you like computers though this is the site for you as all the reviews are about computer hardware, software and peripherals.

AND REMEMBER, DON'T FORGET TO RATE PEOPLES
