I joined Mouthshut.com years ago. That time I used to write reviews only for the sake of review itself. There was no provision for earning money or participating in contest. But when one day I could find that they have started paying money for writing reviews I started writing more reviews on this site.
I am an internet marketer. So, I know that contest is a common method of bringing traffic to any website. I understood that mouthshut is also conducting contest for the same purpose. The usability, Timeliness, Load time - everything is excellent.
The only negative side I could find is that the terms and conditions are not clear and in details on their site. So, when they reduce points, the members become skeptic. Many of my friends joined MS following my recommendation.
They are new in this sorts of freelancing. So, when their earnings get reduced, they fall in doubt. Many of them asked me even whether the company is actually paying money or not. Another disadvantage is delay in payment. I am an affiliate marketer, I get paid from affiliate networks even after 45 days sometimes But they clearly mention that at the time of signing up. I hope MS management will look into this issue. If people are satisfied with the system then more and more people will join and start writing reviews. I thank MouthShut for providing such a beautiful opportunity to Indian people.
