I've read several mixed reviews on the paid to review website Review Stream. Does anyone here have any experience with it? Did you make any money or was it a waste of time?

Some people have, according to them, but I didn't. I signed up, and started to make money. I think I might have gotten up to eight dollars. But, you need fifty to cash out. Soon, they started rejecting everything, saying they weren't interested. They tell you when you start that you can review anything. But, after you've been on there awhile, then they tell you that you can't review too many of the same types of things. For example, I reviewed mainly books, movies, and tv shows. Then, after awhile, they started to say I was reviewing too many and they don't want the reviewers to get into a particular niche. Which, fine, but they should tell you upfront that they want you to review a wide variety of products.
Another thing. Unless you review expensive popular stuff (but not too popular that they're overloaded with reviews on it already) you won't get the maximum price for the review. Last time I was there, it was $5.00. But, all the reviews I wrote only got paid .50 apiece.

Yea, before I did a little research to see what other people had to say about it I was seriously thinking about giving it a shot. $2 for a review that would probably take me all of ten minutes to write didn't seem like a bad deal. When I visited the site last night it said the payout was $1.50, which still isn't so bad. I figured that would be an easy $50 a month or so, but from all the negativity I've seen, I don't think I'll do it.

I used to write for them and did mke money, but the pi**ed me off. I would write long and informed reviews, and they would reject them, but they would except stupid reviews with no real value or content from alot of people. So I gave up on them.

I had worked with Review Stream for quite some time, but have not been active there recently, mainly because my job has been taking most of my time. When I was active there, it worked well, and I have been paid a few times, reaching the payout amount. I was quite happy with the program.
