Hi, mythmoh.. That's expected for a starting site. Ciao already made a good traffic. I don't think I can write for Ciao anymore since I got banned for "plagiarizing" my boyfriend's poem. Now I can say that we're sharing one account. I don't know what their say to that. I emailed back Kaitlin, Ciao Community Manager, about it. ^^v How about you? Would you still be writing for Ciao? How much have you earned so far? When did you join Ciao?

yeah, especially if you're in it for a few quick bucks... There are other review sites that pays well too like ReviewStream.com. There's also Triond.com and if you're from UK, you can join Dooyoo and Ciao.uk. ^^v

I was wondering when they were going to start offering less. Almost all the sites eventually have to do this. I am still going to participate because I can still make money faster there than a lot of the other sites around. I am doing review stream too. I am half way to pay out there. I have reached payout twice on Ciao so far.

reviewstream will be better as the minimum is 0.40 and sometimes we will get even $2.

i think no and this will be a real disaster for me as i got registered day before and today if this thing happens then it is going to hurt me a lot and i think i shall not work with so much enthusiasm i feel really sad as this was the one which was meant for quick earning. Thanks Maru

though they mentioned that $1 is for less period yet i haven't expected that they will change it to 0.25

where you read this information?if it is true traffic will be decreased to that site and people's enthu will not be like before,because it is a huge gap between $1 and $0.25

I think that happened becouse the site was too much promoted, luckily i managed to do $10 there, i think i should had to do more becouse i knew this was going to happen. Still good way to earn compared with the rest so i think i will still with it.

Hello, really sad to hear that! I'm not a member in ciao, already, but i planned to join it. Now i guess i should reconsider. Writing a review is something that take time, and 0.25 are really a few for a so big job. Anyway thanks to have shared this info to all of us. Happy myLotting

Oh no, that is so upsetting! I love this site, I wish I would have found it sooner, I have only received the bonus for a little over a week now. DARN IT!! that is very discouraging :(

really? yeah, that's expected for a starting site. I think Mylot was like that before. Ciao already have established a good traffic. How about you? Would you still write in Ciao? I'm currently banned in Ciao for "plagiarizing" my boyfriend's poem. Anyway, we're sharing an account in Ciao. So I don't know what their say to that. ^^v

I will continue to write reviews at Ciao. Even at 0.25 per review that is pretty descent pay for the couple of minutes it takes me to write a 120 word review. We were all expecting this cut in pay eventually so it really is no big surprise. I participate in review stream and associated content as well so all three combined make me a pretty descent income.

I haven't read no annoucement today but honestly I'm not sure how you really make money on this site. I'll have to check it out for my own curiosity.

Mostly by writing.The read and view bonus were very less.I think you can earn more when you refer more friends.

I was so upset when I read this! But atleast there are other ways to make money, I will try that. I guess $1 a review was too good to be true. 25 cents isn't worth it. Couldn't they have atleast made it 50c?
