Paying YOU to Review!

By A Cowboy's Wife • October 14, 2008

How many of you have heard of Ciao?  Well, it’s okay if you haven’t.  It’s a new online shopping community that pays members for their unbiased product reviews.  Members can review almost anything in more than 25 product categories - including home appliances, gadgets, MP3 players, laptops, DVDs, video games and beauty products.  Members can earn up to $1 per each qualified review and connect with other shoppers and make friends online.  Ciao also features video reviews and contests.

I did one review with two people saying they found it helpful, giving me $1.28 in earnings.  I think that’s pretty darn good considering it only takes a couple of minutes to write a review and that’s just ONE review! I think this could be a great money maker for stay at home moms.  They also have an awesome affiliate program that you must be a part of.  Great options to double your earnings!

Of course, the consumer makes out well too because they will be able to read honest reviews to help them decide on whether or not they feel the purchase will be right for them. It’s a win-win situation and I can’t recommend it enough!

I give this site two thumbs up!  Go sign up!

GUESS WHAT! To celebrate this awesome new site I found, me and Ciao are giving you a chance to win an Ipod Shuffle in YOUR choice of color!

With Christmas around the corner, I’m sure any one of you would love to win this!!! It’s super easy to get started. For reals people. It only take a minute so don’t get freaked out or anything. It will be worth it to sign up. Once you do a couple of reviews, I promise you’ll be hooked!

HOW TO ENTER:

  1. Visit this link to write a review of your favorite gadget or beauty product—how to write a review
  2. Join the Ciao.com community
  3. Tell me your Ciao.com username and what you reviewed in the comments section of this post.

I will choose one winner at random to receive an iPod Shuffle in the color of your choice. Good luck!

Contest ends on October 20:)
