Hy guys! I joined Slice the pie about a month ago but I review then about 7 songs and I forgot about it. Today I remembered them and I did more reviews (now I have almost 30) and I received my second star. From what I saw you only start making money from 3 stars up and I'm wandering what is the criteria on receiving the stars. My accuracy is around 85% and I try to write at least 50 words. What do you know about them? Anyone here working with them?

I've been using the site for quite a while now but I don't really go on it very often. To date I've receieved a total of £55 from them. You receive stars depending on how well you use SPREAD. SPREAD is their rating system, and basically you have to rate the songs different each time and use the scale very well, rating from 0-10. Say if you rated most songs 5-7 then you might end up losing a star but if you rated most of the songs 2-8 then you're more likely to gain a star. The reveiws you write aren't read by the Slice The Pie Team, they're only read by the musician. You should try and be as helpful as possible though so they can improve their music.

I forgot to add, they're always changing their star system so if you want updates you should check out the Slice The Pie Forum and here's a really useful forum post on SPREAD www.slicethepie.com/Forum/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=8861

I have read a little bit about Spread and I try to grade the songs according to it, but I never gave a lower grade than 2. And that I gave out only because of the spread. Thanks for your info, I'm glad you got paid, this keeps me optimistic

I managed to earn €2 and then got bored and left for a bit, when I came back we needed to get rank 3 in order to get cash, so I started trying to get higher rank until I got bored and left again. My accuracy is 84.7% and i have reviewed 84 tracks. I don't know what to do

My accuracy is about 86% right now but I still have few reviews. I'll keep rating at least until I reach 100 and see what happens. This is I don't get bored again

hello honiawa, I think I have reviewed over 10 tracks from them and got bored along the way and I then eventually stopped visiting Slicethepie. LOL. I consistently get vouchers and I think it is getting weirder and weirder...LOL.. I mean, I cannot spend my entire time reviewing artist's song and getting voucher all the time. They say that STP uses a system that ranks a reviewer base on the overall rating that was given to the artist by other reviewers. I mean, if other member scores a musician 8 and you are the only one who scored him (artist) 2 then you ain't gonna get a higher ranking and you will keep on getting V. LOL. I don't know whats the real score behind the rating of STP, maybe I'll come back if they will make few changes on that aspect.

After I rank a song I check out to see if my accuracy went up or down: if it goes up then I know I voted like anyone else, if it goes down I didn't. And if I receive the same song again I know how I have to vote. This is a bit like cheating, but it worked for me.

I had joined this site about 2 months ago and thought I would try it. When I got on the site I got very confused on how to use it so I never did anything with it. From what others have posted it seems like it is better to just not use this site and find other ways of making money! I may try it one more time and see if I can get the hang of it! Happy Mylotting!

I agree: it's confusing and the menu is weird and the FAQ section didn't help me much. But I searched by myself until I found out how to use their interface and now it's ok
