Ciao has reduced it's pay rate

This may come as some real bad news for Ciao writers but as some of my friends say on the site it just may be one way of actually discouraging those who cheat in Ciao to take off. There has been some news spread that this sudden reduce in Ciao's pay rate was due to a lot of plagiarism going around the site. The site used to pay their members $1 per review, but it turned out that some members actually wrote 100 or more reviews in just a short span of time just to speed up their earnings. That made some members think something was going on and these members actually did some digging there and found out that a lot of reviews on the site had identical write ups elsewhere which is definitely plagiarism. Some didn't even bother to reword their reviews but just copied it off from other sites. Well, in my opinion Ciao's researchers or admins aren't stupid and sooner or later they'll find out anyway. It just doesn't work to even reword a write up, you need to be original or unique in some sense. There have been reviews there that don't appear to be copied but some of our friends there actually tried to google some of the words in the reviews on google and they found some identical phrases and even whole sentences of them lying elsewhere online. Yes, that is still plagiarism in some sense, unless of course the writer wrote those similarities himself on his other sites.

Well now to discourage this kind of cheating Ciao has decided to lower the pay rate to $0.25 per review. Now it takes 4 reviews to get a dollar. Look on the bright side this is a good way to weed out cheaters and don't lose hope because earning on Ciao won't be too bad at all if you had a heap of referrals. Last week I noticed my earnings go up even when I did very little writing and guess where I got those earnings? I was lucky to have a few handful of active referrals doing a lot of writing. It adds up in time and it's not too bad at all. That's not all, you can also get a crack at being in the list of the best writers in a Premium Fund. Each month Ciao gives away $2000 to be divided among the best authors, those who have exceptional quality in their reviews. So what are you hanging around for go and do some writing on Ciao! Cheers!

Stream of Reviews!


I have an addition to my list of "Get Paid to Write Sites" and this one probably tops it all in terms of the pay. It's Called ReviewStream. It's just like any other get paid to review site but it pays a whopping $2 per review. At Ciao, they pay you $1 per review. Reviewstream is a bit different compared to most review sites because of how you post your reviews. There is no login. You first register then the site remembers you everytime you come in. You just type in your email address, the pen name you use in the site and so on. Navigation is a bit off and you have to get used to it. But it has tons of endless products to choose from. Totally awesome I would say! You need to wait for a couple of days for your reviews to be approved because I guess they manually check them out for quality. Be sure that your review or write up is your original and it is truly unique as they have rules stiff rules against plagiarism. I got my very first review approved and was notified by email that I get $2 for it. If your review doesn't pass for the $2, there is an option to get paid at the bulk rate. The bulk rate is a lower rate you get if your review doesn't quite match their criteria but you still get paid for it with the bulk rate option. To get the most out of the site be sure to read through all the stuff so you know what you're doing. Know more about how it goes at the site, prepare your first review in simple text format and register! On the register screen you register your important details and get to paste your first prepared review right away to have it approved. Now go on and see if this works for you. Cheers!

I'll show you my Ciao Earnings!

Okay, I wouldn't have done this if a good friend didn't request it. Since I did have to take a screenshot of my Ciao earnings from Paypal, I might as well show it to everyone anyway. I don't quite get the idea of showing paypal proof of earnings since a lot of stuff can be edited in Photoshop or elsewhere and still it doesn't prove that it's a real earning. Any good artist could just fluff his proof of earnings image. But since there are those who don't get it, and still would love to see some proof, I'll show my humble proof of earning. It's definitely real and I have not edited the earning in any way. I just blurred the details there to protect the sender and of course my account. It's not much because I tested to request payment the moment I got to the payout minimum which is $5.00. So here it is.

Fair enough? Oh if it's ever worth saying, I actually wrote 5 reviews in a few minutes when I started. Your stats usually updates completely the next day and there it was $5.00 for my 5 reviews and 64 cents for just going around visiting other reviews and rating them. I'm making more reviews there on Ciao right now and I'm still earning a dollar for each. I also earn from visiting other members reviews and rating them. You too can earn to write reviews about things that you own or use all your life. It can be your ipod, laptop, computer, digital camera, video camera and a whole lot more. It's totally up to you. There's totally an endless selection of products you can find in ciao that may already have in your belonging or have used in the office, school or wherever it may be. If you have watched a ton of movies already which I'm sure most of us have, you can write reviews about them too. You can also write reviews about the sites that you have joined or visited. This is your chance to get paid for your experience. You can also earn some percentages of the earnings of the members who sign up under you. Now think about it how much would you earn if you had more than 20 members writing reviews under you. Get paid to be heard. Oh by the way, you can get more pluses if you submit pictures and even video reviews. Now don't hang around gawking at all these texts here, go make some reviews and have others gawking at them and you earn. To get more of the inside of ciao you can visit my past blog about it. Cheers!!! Now hit the Ciao image and start to earn for writing! Cheers!!!
