£££££CIAO is the ultimate opinion site, and is one of the most highly recommended of all Internet Money Makers. It provides the wonderful combination of a known money earner and a brilliant community feel. The Ciao UK site pays by electronic transfer to your bank account when your balance reaches £5. This is one of the BEST AND MOST ENJOYABLE OF ALL PROGRAMS. Click here to join.

Ciao is in actual fact a Europe-wide program and has sister sites in France, Germany and Italy and is a well respected program.

I signed up with Ciao in September 2000 and have regularly and reliably made money from them. I used to spend about an hour a day on Ciao and got around £1.50 in return. Unfortunately, a while ago they radically overhauled their program, and these days only certain categories, mainly the consumer ones, pay money. However, the money making side is only one aspect and what I really appreciate about the site is the marvellous community feel, which is enhanced by the Yahoo Community Group for Ciao UK members.

You get paid for writing opinions on all kinds of consumer items, ranging from electronics to websites to sport to films to music, etc.

Each opinion must be at least 120 words in length. You earn money every time another member reads one of your opinions and can get special bonuses for writing good opinions.

If you get anyone to sign up on your referral, you earn 30% of their earnings for the first six months.

There is also a bonus scheme, the Premium Fund, which can pay up to £5 per opinion.

Ciao also send out surveys to members who indicate they wish to participate and you get paid for completing them.

The secret to making money on Ciao is to write good and useful opinions which other members will want to read. You also need to be very active on the site in reading and rating the opinions of other members. This will get you known and normally leads to other members wanting to read your opinions. These days I regularly get 40 reads per opinion. In July 2001, I earned £24 from the Premium Fund.

I RECOMMEND THIS SITE AS ONE OF THE BEST THERE IS AROUND FOR GENERATING RELIABLE EARNINGS.
