CloudCrowd Review

Today I want to talk about CloudCrowd.

CloudCrowd is a way of making money at the same time as browsing facebook! CloudCrowd is a writing service that runs as a facebook application. Sign up as a writer at CloudCrowd to get access to writing jobs, editing jobs, translation jobs, and keyword research jobs.

CloudCrowd Pros and Cons

CloudCrowd Advantages:
1. Very fast payment - this freelance writing site pays out via PayPal within 24 hours of work being approved.
2. Wide variety of tasks available. Movie reviews, business descriptions, and factual articles all feature frequently.
3. CloudCrowd pays around $0.03 to $0.05 per word, which is higher than most other writing sites that work on a similar model. You can also earn bonuses for every task if you submit good work.
4. No bidding process - simply claim the tasks that you are interested in and that you are qualified for.
5. Generous referral program - earn 10% on everything your referrals earn (this does not affect the amount they get paid). You even earn money on your referrals' referrals, and on your referrals' referrals' referrals! With this 3-tiered system, it doesn't take many writers to sign up through your referral links for you to earn a decent passive income.

To sign up to CloudCrowd as my referral, follow any of the links in this post. It won't cost you anything. Thanks.

CloudCrowd Disadvantages:
1. Credential tests - before you are allowed to do any work, you must complete some simple tests to assess your skills in the type of work you want to do. You must submit absolutely perfect work to be approved for a credential. Fortunately, the tests take only a few minutes to complete, and you can attempt most of them several times, so you are likely to pass even if it takes you two or three tries.
2. Inconsistent editing - CloudCrowd's editing process is crowd-sourced - that means that freelancers like you edit all the writing work to check its quality. That means that you might get some revision requests that don't seem reasonable, and some editors will pull you up on things that others will allow to pass. The good news is that a few days ago CloudCrowd changed its guidelines for editors. CloudCrowds editors are now being asked to be more lenient on writers, so the number of revision requests for good writers is likely to drop very soon.
3. I find the interface to be a little slow (using Chrome) and less friendly than others; it's completely usable though.

CloudCrowd is a good way to earn quick cash. The 24-hour payout is particularly attractive, as is the generous referral program.

Sign up to CloudCrowd today to earn money through writing, editing, translation or research jobs.
