Ever dream of being a product reviewer?

I am constantly.. and I do mean constantly asked how do you get into review products. It's getting to the point that I even get called out at the grocery store. Well honestly I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask as this is my full time job. When I say full time I do mean that I spend a good sixty hours a week writing reviews, responding to email, dealing with giveaways, mailing giveaways, and just plain trying to keep up with all the things on my plate. However I was just introduced to a site which makes reviewing products fun, easy, and you can do it whenever you wish, and get paid to boot!

Ciao.com is a new website where consumers are actually paid for their reviews. Your paid every time someone reads your reviews and recommends them so technically you could get paid on going for one review until people stop reading it. I can only imagine getting paid for everyone of you that reads my reviews here.. heh I'd be rich.. ok not really but the thought sounds nice. Ciao may be new in the US but its been popular in Europe since its launch there in 1999.

Joining Ciao was really easy, I went over there, entered my information, and wrote my first review within just a few minutes. I even set up my account to pay to my paypal account which is pretty darn convenient. Now I just have to sit back and wait for people to read it and recommend me! I'm pretty excited. I'm really thinking about going over and posting a review or two a day and see how it goes.

Ciao is not just for writing reviews, have you ever just wondered what ordinary people thought about a product before you bought it. Well seeing as your reading this, as I'm just an ordinary girl *cough*, you've at least been giving some thought to my opinions but on Ciao you can see tons of people's ideas on a product in one place. It's really a neat idea. Plus you can build friend circles of other reviewers that you trust their opinion and invite your friends and family to join you as well. Speaking of which did I mention that Ciao pays you for each friend you invite who also writes a review, you can't go wrong with that one!
