Writing reviews as a mean of online income

Malaysia
May 18, 2008 5:28am CST
I find that mylotters prefer to do PTR,GPT rather than writing reviews.I know it is simple way to earn money without using much effort,just by clicking away, but is it worth the time and money you get? Why don't people put a little more effort in writing reviews? My experience tells me writing reviews can earn more compared to clicking at ads.

haha, yea, it's a good way of earning money from writing reviews. It can be tiring thinking what to write sometimes. I am writing reviews too,especially on reviewstream. Can take a look at my blog in my profile if you want to.

I am on review stream too.I think there are other websites for writing reviews as well such as epinions,but so far I only heard of review stream which is quite easy to get your review approved compared to other sites.

I can give you links to all of the programs I use. I do reviews on my blog but for that your blog must be 30 to 90 days old before they will accept it. There are other places where all you have to do is register and they will pay you to write product reviews and articles on different things. I will request your friendship here and then send you a message with the info. It won't be right away because I am really tired and wouldn't be able to make sense enough to steer you in the right direction. My husband was just admitted to the hospital and I haven't slept in 2 days. For now you can go to my blog: http://cwilson26.blogspot.com Check through there. Check the whole thing because it has been a little while since I posted anything worthwhile. Check the banners I have on there and the links on the right side and also go through the older posts. I will have it updated once I can get my head back on track. You can also go to this forum: http://www.accentuateservices.com/xmb/ There you will find paying writing jobs, whether it's article writing, reviews, or short story writing, novel writing. This forum has it all. You have to register before you can get any of the information. My user name on there is also cwilson26. Hope to see you there. I hope this helps. :)

I recently signed up with sharedreviews and not only do they pay you for writing reviews, but you also make cash for voting and commenting on others. It's set up like a social networking type deal and the more you participate, the more you earn. Definitely worth a look if you like writing reviews.

I was pretty excited about your post to write reviews until I saw that the payment was .40 to as much as $2.00. You can earn more than that with Pay Per Post. If you have a blog (you can get a free one at blogger.com) and you sign up with Pay Per Post, you can earn anywhere from $5 per post and up. There are 3 ways to earn with Pay Per Post. Check out this article: http://www.nojobformom.com/articles/opps/pay_per_post.shtml Your blog doesn't need to have a page rank, but if it does, there are more opportunities. You might find Pay Per Post a more lucrative opportunity. I usually try to get the most money out of my efforts. If you can write a review for 40 cents I'm pretty sure you can write one for $5.

I've decided to start a brand new blog (for free) and start making money with Pay Per Post. If you're interested to see my progress (and maybe join me), I'm going to chart my progress on my No Job for Mom Blog. You can read along to see how I'm doing: http://www.nojobformom.com/njblog/ If you've got a few minutes a day, you should try it. What do you have to lose? You can create a blog in addition to your reviews.

Check out your blog.Looks like u just started.Actually I check out pay per post a few times.Their requirement is quite stringent.You might need a PR to get them approve ur blog. Anyway I hope u will get approved when u fulfill ur minimum requirements of 10 postings.Keep the good news rolling in.

Does they pay you if your blog is host in blogger? That is something new for me!Didn't know that you can still get your money without page rank.

I know flowerhorn, I had tried writing reviews at two sites last year whenever I had time, one site did not answer me at all and the second site paid only once. The second payment I have not got even after 5 months, So I stopped reviewing. If you know any good paying review sites please tell me. I would like to do that.

Go for review stream. You get a min of 40 cents a review and a max of 2 dollars.If u sign under me,I will guide u step by step. It is very simple and if u trust me (anyway why would I want to bluff you),I think u r qualify for it. I never ever got any of my reviews rejected and each and everyone of them earns me money.And it is free to join.

Well,u can say I am a die hard fan of review stream.SInce u pointed out AC indicates it is bad site,I search for other articles on review stream there.Many articles comments its worth its salt in gold especially for beginner.Maybe that is an isolated case,and noting that the article u mentioned dated back to 2006,I guess now they had increase their customer service by mutliple folds.So I am definitely going to stick with it.

If u want to write for review stream,go to becomingricher.blogspot.com to get more info. You can try associated content too .They pay upfront payment for articles or reviews submitted to US members.International members only get performance payment.Performance payment is when somebody views your review,you get payment.Of course,there is certain minimum page views you must fulfilled in order to be paid. Other than that you can try cia and epinions.

Mylot also pay you by PayPal. If u have a bank account, a saving bank account will do too,you can withdraw money from PayPal.What in your country,you need to have money to open a bank account?Can't u deposit 10 dollars and open it? Or use your friend bank account.

I agree with you. I joined this review site yesterday. They pay $10 per 10 reviews that you make. Minimun words per review is 20 but much better if you can make it 100 words. Can you tell what are the review sites that you have joined already? I'll exchange links with you if you like. :0)

I knew about helium to freelance write but I didn't know that you could write reviews online and make money infact I didn't hear of writing reviews until today. I would love to have the link as well to see if it would be something that I would be interested in. I also knew about blogging for money which I used to do but I haven't recieved any work from that in quite some time.

You can try Review Stream which is very suitable for rookies. Payment also not bad either. You will be paid 40 cents or $2 depending on the topic and the quality of your review. Associated contents is the next choice. If you are living in US, you will also get upfront payment as well as performance payment. Upfront payment is payment they made to you when they approve your submitted review while performance payment is payment you get every time someone view your article/review. In Shared reviews, you can earn money not only by submitting your reviews, but also rating the reviews there. Visit my blog to find out more about them.

I guess because people like me don't know about writing reviews. I haven't really heard anything about this and I don't know the first thing about it. Can you help me with this and tell me first, do you actually make money and recieved the money, yet? How much can you make doing this? What sites can I do this on? I don't want to use my blogg as you talk in some of the responses and comments but are there other sites that I can do this on? You can pm me this information after I request your friendship so I can learn if you are willing to help me. Thanks, my friend.

I have never written reviews. I think that it would be a nice way to make money. I am just afraid that I would never be able to think of enough to say or that I might not say the write things. I would love to know how to get started doing stuff like that.

Welcome to the gang! What you feel currently is very normal.I also went through that.I feel that I am not up to par, run out of idea, don't know how to put my thoughts down etc. But when I discover this site called review stream,it really get me started. There is one fellow there just write 7 to 8 sentences criticizing Air Asia and the review get published.He might not earn th e2 dollars payment but I believe he did get 40 cents for that. This is a site for beginner,just like you and me. Why don't you start off with writing about yourself,what you like to do,your hobbies,interest,etc. Or you can write about the place you visit.Or maybe the book you like to read or online game you like to play.You can in fact write anything for review here.The sky is the limit. check out the link at the bottom of my site to start your journey into review writing and all the best.Well,if you can post here, you will be a suitable candidate over there.COnquer your fear and let the journey begin.You only have to take the first step and the rest is history.

pay per post means they pay you for making a post in a forum,similar to what you are doing here,except that here you dun know how much you are pay for a post. There is a site that goes by the same name that pay you by writing a posting in your blog.So now you know that those people do get pay by writng blog.
