Frustrated With Review Stream

I was really happy to receive my first $50+ from Review Stream a few weeks ago because I just joined this month. My 2 week success was something I could get used to, but unfortunately, earning has been quite slow lately! Not only is it harder for me to come up with topics to talk about, Review Stream also keeps on rejecting my reviews! Since getting my first payment where I only got rejected twice, I've been rejected 6 times already! Boo! Anyone else having the same problem?

Now that Ciao has reduced paymets to .25 cents, reviewstream seems more ideal now - you don't have to wait until the middle of next month to get paid, as long as you make the minimum $50 pay-out. Reviewstream requires 500 words once you've reached the 1st payout. Which means you can earn $1 per 250 words, while now, because of the reduced rates, at ciao you'll earn $1 for every 480 words. If it's your first time to write for reviewstream, then you're only required to do 200 words, effectively $1 per every 100 words. You do have to be patient because sometimes it takes up to 4 days to get approval.

Blessfx: No, you cannot make 1 dollar per review by adding more words. I was stating the average # of words to make 1 dollar in Ciao - you need to make 4 reviews (120 words x 4 reviews @ $0.25 each = $1). It's better to write for Reviewstream because if you write a 500 word review which pays about $2, the average earning per number of words would be $1 per 250 words.

Try writing reviews in cellphones, electronics, home appliances and laptops. And also try to inject more personal opinion in your reviews. In this way, I'm sure you review won't be rejected. And by the way, if you reviews are rejected, you can always resubmit by ticking the bulk rate. One more thing, I think your review is also not length enough to get them accepted. In the past, a 100 or 200 words review is sufficient to get the regular rate but now thing has changed. It will take close to 500 words to get the regular rate.

You can still write 200 plus words review and tick the bulk rate. Your review will get approved instantly as you don't have to wait 72 hours.

Well if it get's rejected the best thing to do is beef it out a bit and resubmit it. If you're not sure how to improve it just re-submit it and check the bulk-rate so you at least get something.

I don't understand this site particularly its procedure how to register the site and in posting a review.

oh I do and i already stopped writing for them! ha ha I am now concentrating with Ciao and here in mylot, I was really frustrated by how things run in there, unlike in ciao, they just pay you as long as your re4view is good enough but of course I give quality reviews in Ciao, but in Review stream, even if you had poured your heart out on a certain review, it would still be rejected

i've tried writing for them a couple of times, unfortunately they don't like what i write, they always reject it so i tried writing for associated content, mylot, triond and ciao and it pays writing in these sites.

I thought it was a lot easier when I first started too. Now that I have found Ciao I hardly want to write for Review Stream anymore. Even with Ciao's reduced rates. I have only been rejected once though. I have something like $23.60 in there though so I really need to keep at it since I have almost half the amount already. I just started Squidoo too but I am not sure I am going to keep that up yet.
