A week ago, I came across Reviewstream, and decided to try out.
I wrote 5 short reviews, each about 250 words, about common products, such as hairdryer, nutmeg ointment, cruise experience, book review and a facial foam.
Guess what! I make $8.40 for my effort. So happy! Only the book review earns 40 cents, the rest are paid at $2!
Have any of you wrote for reviewstream and make more than a hundred every month? what do you write about?

Very nice Scheng!!! You seem to be very good at earning online via writing. Why not? You are good at writing. I think I will take a lot of time to write a single review in that site. And I don't know whether that site is available in our country or not. Anyway I will just check out. Can you send the referral link via PM...

Hi Nzalheart, I dont even know whether there is a referral link or not.
I read some of the reviews inside, most people write as if they are talking to their friends, like "my aunt gives me this product..." then they start to talk about how they like or do not like the product. It's very easy, just have to find those products in your country, and not available in other country.
Maybe you can write about the coffee in your college, and the bus that takes you to Pokhara, plus the place you stay in Pokhara. As long as you write at least 250 words, in first person POV, like "I take the bus to Pokhara a few days ago". You can make even more than me.
Actually, I get to know about this reviewstream from the discussion threads in mylot. You can search for it, and read about it. Some people can make more than five hundred dollars from writing reviews.

Hi Nzal, I am happily writing about the drinks, the food and whatever I feel like writing. I just change my mouse, maybe I can write about the new mouse.
There are many products manufactured in Singapore, and not very popular, so I have a lot of writing material. Just finish one review about a chocolate chip cookie, now a bit lazy to review other biscuits.

Hi Lampar, actually there are many writers making money with reviewstream.
After following a few discussion threads in mylot, I think the trick is to write about something that nobody has reviewed before, otherwise the review may get just 40 cents, or rejected, no matter how good the writing is.
And have to give exclusive rights to Reviewstream. If the writer submits to reviewstream, and resubmit to AC, then Reviewstream will ban the writer.
Plus all reviews must be from personal experience. Those guys at reviewstream are very good at smoking out those who takes the idea elsewhere, and rewrite the review to submit to reviewstream.

Hi Nerissagoh, that's great. Since the minimum payout is $50, we have to work harder to write more reviews, and hopefully all the reviews make $2 per review.
Glad to try out this site, writing review is comparatively easier than writing 400 words articles.
Hopefully the passive income from reviewstream works out too.

Hi Sweetseoul, how far are you from payout? I always aim to get at least one payout from whatever site i joined.
I think you can make better money when you write reviews for those brands that are not popular. No point writing about popular brands where there are so many reviews.

Hi PeacefulWmn, I got to know about this reviewstream through the discussion threads in mylot.
You may want to search for those discussion threads in mylot, and read some articles in ehow about writing for reviewstream.
Ranting is easy, and share opinions in just 250 words is very easy, to make $2 for ranting is really, really enjoyable.

I think you are wasting your valuable time dear friend! At present they are cheating everybody. At present you write a review only to be rejected. I have written many reviews on various gadgets including laptops, monitors etc recently only to get the same common answer "your review could not be published because we are not interested in it" !! What they are interested in if not laptops, monitors, perfume and so on?

Nope! Nothing works! I have tried out every thing. None of my reviews was composed with fewer than 300 words. May be they were not of high quality, they were not low quality either. I wrote every review with utmost care and maintained the rules of writing reviews. I submitted, waited for a week and received the same email "your review could not be published because we are not interested in it"! Just bogus!!! They should be kicked in the butt for making us waste our time.![](/Content/images/emotes/angry.gif)

They say, you can write reviews even about your girlfriend and your imagination is the limit what should be the subject of a review! If so, what does it mean "we are not interested in it"? The laptop review I wrote was a new arrival in the market. And I wrote it from my own experience and the length was more than 350 words. Yet "they were not interested in it" and not even with bulk rate! Because, I have some dollar in my account and if I am paid, I can make a payout very soon!
Say, I stopped writing for the cheater ReviewStream site. But who will compensate for the hours and perseverence I wasted writing the reviews those were credited? The credit I have in ReviewStream site has no value, as I cannot witdraw them untill I reach $50. Now, with their rejection hysteria, it seems to me that reaching the payout target of $50 is nothing but a daydream!![](/Content/images/emotes/cry.gif)

Hi Little_boy, that's sounds dirty! Is it because you are reaching payout of $50, and they want to stop you from withdrawing the money? Are there too many reviews on that particular laptop models?
I got a feeling that Reviewstream cuts off the review of certain product, once the number of reviews hit a certain threshold.
I'm still way from $50. I'll be very happy to reach the first payout and have the money safely in the paypal

I am sold! I had heard about Reviewstream here on myLot a while back and intended to check it out but forgot until now. I just wasted time in a myLot task only to find out the accept task button wasn't working! I could have spent that time posting to review stream and seeing something for my effort!

Hi Canellita, I find that the writing task in mylot is too time consuming. If I have to do research and write, then I rather post in Helium to earn upfront and empty title bonus, and have the long term passive income.
No point writing for a one time off transaction of just $2. The research time alone does not warrant the effort.

Hi Canellita, my daily rotation is writing articles, checking email, reading articles, checking mylot discussion threads.
I just can't sit properly and write articles continuously, very tiring this way. I should get back to reviewstream if I want payout soon! Since already make $8.40 from five short reviews, making $50 shouldn't be that hard. I have yet to write about shoes, bags, and whatever common items.

It usually takes me around 45 minutes to do a myLot task but I agree on the cost effectiveness and time factor. I usually do them to insure I will reach payout since posting in enough discussions is even more time consuming than the tasks.
