Ciao - Legitimacy Verified

I have written 40-odd reviews on Ciao. A while ago, I requested some payments. Two separate payments, totaling about $23.00, when all is said and done. I was paid via Paypal.

Well, nothing happened for a while - no money in my Paypal account - and I thought perhaps I'd been had. I was also frustrated by the rampant plagiarism and spamming on Ciao. So, at the end of April, I just sort of gave up.

Wasn't I surprised when I was informed that Paypal had a payment waiting for me?



Here, you can only see one of the payments (for $18.00), I'm guessing the other one went through at the end of April (about when I gave up).

Well, the money is in my account - for real - and I can say that, while Ciao certainly takes their sweet time paying you, they DO pay you. Be prepared to wait for a month and a half, however.

I'm back on Ciao again - after all, $23.00 for writing a few reviews isn't bad. There are other websites where you can write reviews for money, but they are not as user friendly and they have some shady tactics. I'll review one in more depth later this week.

Until then,
Ciao!

Ciao Success?

I hit payout today, 9 days after I joined Ciao. It would have been 7, but my account wasn't 'earning' anything over the weekend. I panicked and emailed Customer Support, so now I look like an idiot. Customer Support never got back to me about it, but when $2.00 showed up in my account this morning after a weekend of nothing, I figured out that maybe Ciao just doesn't credit on the weekends. Either that, or Customer Support did something about it without emailing me back. They've been pretty good so far, after all.






Apparently, payments are processed on the second week of each month. So it could be processed this week. Or I may have to wait 4 weeks, and won't find out until next month. I'll keep checking my Paypal account. After all, the money's no good to me until it winds up there. I've got a whole bucket o' things to review, until then.

Keep in mind, this was done mostly by myself. While I have referred three people, one was only right before this, and the other two haven't been very active. So it is possible to earn money on Ciao without referring tons of people. Will it be oodles of money? Highly unlikely. But these days, any amount of extra money is a good thing.
