Qype
June 27, 2008This is a bit of an oddball site really, as Qype is a review site, but not one where you earn money for your reviews. Instead, you earn points for doing different things on the site such as writing reviews, and uploading pictures for them. You also earn points when people rate your reviews as well. The way this falls into the money making side of things is that when you hit certain milestones, you are sent a goodie bag. The first one is when you reach 250 points, the second at 500 points and the third at 1000 points.
These goodie bags are kind of an incentive to carry on with the site and a thankyou for sticking with it this far. After 1000 points, you don’t get goodie bags, but you do get admitted to a kind of inner circle where you get invited to enter competitions and you get the chance to go to special events and things as well.
The first goodie bag contains amongst other things a qype top – mine contained a long sleeved top, some sweets, and a flask, sadly I wasn’t asked what size top I wanted so that’s going to have to be passed to someone else as it’s much too small!, but all of good quality never the less. - The second I’m told contains things like frisbee and a usb stick, and the third one is the coverted ninja kit which if it’s picture is correct gets you an ipod, a bottle of champagne and a soft toy.
So, overall, nope you won’t earn any cash, but you will get some nice goodies, and to be honest it’s a very easy place to earn points. I reached my first 250 points in about 4 days on there. The reviews don’t have to be long maybe 20-50 words or so unless of course you want to write more, and a friendly place.
