I heard that people make good money with review stream. I tried writing a review but they declined it. I wonder why?
What do you write about and how much do you make?
I want to write reviews there really bad but after the first rejection I kinda quit. Any advice?

Hi,
I've never heard of it before, but I would like to check it out. I've never written reviews for money, I never knew you could even do that. I wonder why they declined yours, that's odd, most people would like to truly know if a product was horrible or worth the money.

I was surprised at how easy it was, I got one of my first 10 reviews rejected and after that I've had some rejected but not too many. You get one of two reason every time a review is rejected, so it's not easy to guess why. It usually only says "not specific enough" even though you feel you've been very specific, and guess that the reason it was rejected maybe was because it was from a too obscure part of the world.
There's link in my profile to some of mine. After you have written enough good enough reviews, they don't check them anymore, at least not every review, you get paid automatically and then if they find one that's not good enough, they withdraw the money. A bit annoying, but it is probably a good way to make sure that everyone keeps writing good enough and not just submit copied stuff from somewhere.

Hey,
I had recently just started using review stream and had been paid for 90% of my reviews submitted. I really like the deal they have going on...as I use to give out my reviews for free before anyway. And getting paid for my opinions is awesome! :D
I would say that the only reason your review may be getting rejected is because it is either too short, lacks important info or has bad spelling/ grammar. Those are the only reasons I can come up with atm. Or (as another user said) if its about a new product just recently release, you may have to accept it at a bulk rate. May not always be fair but its better than nothing I guess.

I've made payout many times there, although I have ahd a couple of reviews rejected and I am still not certain why.
A few things I have noticed: do make sure to write "I thought ______, I liked ___________" because they prefer personal opinions.
Make sure that your reviews are about 400 words
Unless your review is about a really new product or electronic, it's only going to get accepted at the bulk rate more of the time. So you should accept the bulk rate.

I've earned a bit over 50 dollars, so I can get my first payment now!
My tips would be:
Write more than 200 words. Reviews under 200 words are rejected. If you want to get paid the regular rate you should write more than 600 words.
Proper grammar and spelling is important. A few mistakes won't matter, but not too many.
Read their FAQ and follow the advice there.
Don't be afraid of saying "I think" etc, you're not supposed to write a product description but a review.
Check which reviews are in demand, it says on the home page.
Good luck!
