Advantages: Well paid in some categories

Disadvantages: Hard to cash if you are not in USA

I found out about Epinions 2 weeks ago and decided to give it a try.

Epinions is an American based website which is very much similar to Dooyoo. Very much like Dooyoo, you can post reviews there, you get rewarded for it in proportion to the amount of revenues they generate for the website (this is different from Dooyoo) and you can also read reviews if you are a consumer.

The website is very much American based and some categories reward much better than others.

Consumer good like electronics and computers, together with cars are the categories which get more hits.

Differently from Dooyoo, Epinions give you a share of the profits generated by both members and non members.

I know of people who made more than 10 dollars on one review only.

However, only after signing up I realized that for non USA residents they ask proofs of identity and apparently one document can only be obtained by the American Embassy of the country where you live. They also ask you to fill in a document for the local inland revenue.

I therefore think that it is not worth the hassle if you are not based in USA or cannot cash under a USA name.

Summary: Not recommended if you are not in USA
