How would you you like to be able to write a review about a product you currently own and get paid for it? I think most people would answer yes they would love that. Ciao.com is online community that reviews and rate a wide range of products and services. It is free to become a member and International web surfers can also join and benefit from the service.

The process is very simple. After signing up login to your account and search for a product to review. Write a short review (which must be at least 120 words in length) on the product or service. Once someone else has rated your review as helpful or better you get paid for that review. I wrote  review on the game Fallout 3 for the PC. I got a rating of helpful the same day and I was paid .52 cents.

You can cash out once your account reaches $5.00 and payment is made via paypal. Also another cool feature built into the site is that you can search for products and services just like shopping.com and find the lowest merchant online. I love that. The reviews you will find on ciao.com are unbiased and up to date. You’ll find the latest products to review or read reviews on before making a purchase. Another tidbit, this site is owned by Microsoft so it is not going to disappear anytime soon.

If your tech savvy enough you can also do a video review just like you see on CNET.com. These pay allot more than regular reviews and the community there seems to love the video reviews. I know video reviews on CNET.com hold my attention allot more than regular written reviews because you can actually see the product in action.

If your looking for a sure fire way to make way to money online and share your experiences with products you have tested or own this it is. Take a look at Ciao.com now.

Today I am going to review Inbox Dollars. Inbox Dollars is a very well known get paid to web site. They pay you for things like reading emails (these emails are sent from various advertisers promoting their products and/or services), shopping online at specific merchants, taking surveys, evaluting  products, and even for playing games. There are allot of PTR and PTC websites that are fly by night. They get you to sign up and spend your time and energy there as a member. Many times taking MONTHS to reach the cash out minimum only for the the website to fold when you go to collect your money. Well I am here to tell you Inbox Dollars is not that type of site. They pay their members and in a timely fashion, Inbox Dollars in not going anywhere.

When you sign-up to join (which is free to join BTW) you get a $5.00 credit to your account right away. You can’t cash this money out quite yet but it does go toward you cash-out amount once you reach that level. Now I will be the first to tell you. You can’t quit your job just because  you joined Inbox Dollars but if you have spare time on your hands to complete the offers, read the 2 to 3 daily emails sent and take part in the paid surveys you can easily make good pocket money from $30.00 to $70.00 a month without putting in too much time and effort. What I do with these extra funds is save up 3 or 4 months worth of funds for a big ticket item and then cash out. If you request payment via check they will deduct $3.00 from your total as a processing fee. Outside of that there are really no negatives to joining this site. Also the members area is designed very cleanly. You never question where to go to see if you have email’s to read, surveys to take or offers waiting to be completed.

Payment is done within 30 days after your request. Surveys are sent almost daily and the offers are very easy to complete. It’s no surprise that InBox Dollars is one of the only Get Paid To websites promoted in big affiliate networks. I feel safe letting my funds build up over the course of 3 or 4 months and not worrying about the company folding. Signing up is very simple and short. I really can’t think of anything negative to say besides you won’t get able to quit your day job doing this. So don’t go into it thinking that then screaming scam.

I’d give Inbox Dollars a try if your willing to put in alittle work you could easily make up $70.00 a month maybe ore if you put more time into it than I did. This is just another legit way to earn money online.

One thing you will notice on this site is that I endorse paid surveys. I only pick programs that I TRULY feel work or that I have made work first hand. Point blank. I am a fan of paid surveys and was introduced to them by Katie who runs a great WAHM (work at home moms site) called Katie’s Hugs. Paid surveys is just one of the things she discusses on her site and there is a good forum there also that is decently active.

Like I said in the Opinion Outpost review, never pay for survey list or directories. You can find them on katie’s web site. She has taken the time to figure out which ones were trash and which are worth your time signing up for. Another good site to reference is Survey Police  and Survey Explosion.

I will go over a few different paid survey sites but I mostly will stick to the ones I use on a daily basis. Feel free to know that if I have a site featured here it is legit and a good one to join. Those are also posted under my favorite link and sponsers section. I will first start off by saying you CANNOT quit your day job by taking paid surveys. At most if you join enough panels you can save up enough change to buy a big ticket item. I am currently saving for a 32″ or 37″ LCD TV for my bedroom. After that my next big ticket item will be saving for a AR-15.

Please visit this excellent lens to learn even more about taking paid surveys The Truth Behind Taking paid surveys From Home. Also I will be reviewing and commenting on my experience with other paid surveys.

P.S. another great thing about Katies web site is her listing of Mystry Shopping companies. Legit ones that is. I know my ex-girlfriend wanted to get into this but only found sites where you had to pay first to see the list this is a big red flag Katie gives you the goods without having to do that.

So please feel free to start off joining the panels I have featured on this site and look at the links above. IF you join 10-12 panels that should be enough to jump start you with a steady stream of daily surveys that will keep you busy but not overwhelmed. Good Luck!
