Hi, mylotters. I recently tried a site called review stream. IT says that it pays for reviews on everyday products. I have enteres several reviews and it keeps saying that its not interested in them. its really frustrating. Has anyone had the same problem with this site? Does anyone know what kind of review that they look for? I am really trying to put some money together any ideas?

Hmm, I've "tried" them and never had any luck with them whatsoever! I ended up submitting a few different reviews for local businesses in my area, and never got a cent for any of them. After which point, I decided..Forget 'em! I'd rather spend my time on a site that actually pays. But I HAVE heard from a few people that they DO pay, but my gut instincts it to say that no, they don't. It's too good to be true if you ask me.

Yes I heard they are paying, that's make me motivated to review more but suddenly my reviews get rejected and I don't understand.

I've been paid by them quite a bit. It's hard to earn $2.50 for your reviews and I stick to $0.50 reviews because mine usually are accepted.
Tips for newcomers:
* Your review must be at least 250 words long, if you don't have Microsoft Word, download OpenOffice for free and it works just like Microsoft Word.
* Spell check your work. They tend to reject reviews that have poor grammar and spelling errors.
* Post your opinion about whatever you're reviewing. They don't like too much description about the product, they want your opinion.
* DON'T post your reviews on any other website. They will ban you because they want your reviews to be unique and only on their website. I had an incident happen to me where someone submitted a fraudulent review under my pen name and I was kicked off even though I had never even reviewed the item or own the item that was reviewed. If this happens to you, e-mail them and explain to them that you didn't write it and that someone else used your name to submit a fraudulent review.
You can reach payout if you work hard at it. Free $50 has helped me buy my anime collection.
I hope this will help other users on this website who are thinking about going there.

Hello Amanda. Yes, I have been writing reviews for that site "Review Stream", and have been making some earnings. I do understand what you are saying. You might notice that the response "not interested" comes back within minutes, or even seconds some times. That is very much automatic. That had happened to me too. So, when that happens, I try to add a few more lines in my review and resubmit. Surprise, it gets accepted. So, the reason must have been that the first time it was too short, shorter than the requirements.

Hi friend Frankly speaking I am not atall interested to the site as I was earlier a member of that site and I have posted several reviews but always I was informed that the review was not upto the mark and can not be accepted. No doubt it is a good site. But presently I am not active.

My sister is a member of that site and after being a member for a month she requested a payout after reaching the payout. Mind you, just a couple of hours after requesting the payout, she already got funds to her Paypal account from Reviewstream. That's how fast they are. All you need to do is write cohesive reviews because the admin read the reviews for approval and sometimes short review below 200 words are not accepted. I wanted to join the site but we only got one PC at home and I do not know if same two person can share one IP address.

I have tried numerous times to write good quality reviews, avoiding duplicated reviews as well as adding a good amount of writing. I am always rejected. I totally understand your frustration.

Yes, I had the same problem. I remember it said you can even review your neighbor's cat. I revired the "mamma mia" DVD I had purchased. it instantly said they were not interested. I believe I asked mylotters about it and was told it wasn't long enough.
