The key to making money is to post reviews, review other's posts and gather as many friends as you can. Each time a post is reviewed or you review a post, credits are given. In your circle of friends you can acquire additional benefits by having a lot of people be your friends and joining your circle of trust. Each review awards you a small cash payment each time another member rates it either "helpful", "very helpful" or "exceptional". You can expect to receive between 1 and 3 cents per review. On the website the rates that are available to you appear next to the product name on the overview page, i.e. one dollar sign up to three dollar signs.
Earnings are transferred to your PayPal account once you reach a minimum balance of $5.00. You will need to "Request payment" from your Accounts tab. Payouts are made once a month to all members who have requested a payment in that month. Sometimes it takes up to five weeks before the transfer occurs. But be patient and you will see the credit in your PayPal account.
I have found the review process to be a little biased though. Some of the reviewers are from countries where English is not the obvious language. So you might read a review with excellent ratings only to find it hard to understand. Obviously, the reviewers and the raters are giving each other high marks regardless of what is written. However, if you stay true to yourself and write intelligently, eventually you will get a following.
