Have you ever reviewed music and get paid for it? Well, unless you didn't know, there is a site that does just that, called slicethepie. At first i didn't believe it, because the earnings were pretty good, about 10-12c per song at my current level (yes, you make experience, gain levels and also ranks!!! which is loads of fun). So i tried it out, made reached my first payout (10$ is the minimum)and....actually got paid. :)) So, in my eyes, this was already one of the easiest, most fun ways to earn some extra money, while listening to music and possibly discover some great new talents.
But the best news starts now : they started a refferal program!!! I still can't believe it and just can't wait to test it out!
What about you, myloters? Have you used this site before? And if so, what do you think about it? Do you find it hard to level and rank up? Also, do you think this decision of introducing a refferal program will destabilize the site? I'd hate to loose one of the best :(

Ow, it's also blocked in the Philippines. :'(( I was so ecstatic about the reviewing music and earning money idea 'cause I really enjoy listening to lots of songs, but alas, it's not for me. :'(

It seems my good news became very bad all of the sudden. Yesterday , while in the middle of a session of reviewing, when i refreshed the page, it told me my country was blocked as well. It was quite a shock. Lucky for me I had requested a cashout the day before, though i still don't know yet if i'm ever going to actually receive it.
Considering the blocking was made after my request, I'm thinking I'll still get them.
You know how it is, hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
Hope nothing will happen to mylot too, cause these two were my favorite sites ever!

Oh my... I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you get your cash-out at least. At least you got to try it. 'Cause I'd really love something like that. ^^

There're lots of good online money making opportunity out there, but unfortunately, it's not for everyone.

Hello,peavey and welcome to the discussion. On Slicethepie they have every genre you can think of! Basically, any artist that want to have his/her music reviewed joins and submits music and then people start reviewing. You can choose though, when you join and complete the profile, the genres you prefer. I personally marked all of them because i like discovering quality music in any genre possible :)
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Happy posting!

Great website, thanks for telling us about it. The only thing I've found I don't like so far is not being able to choose the genre of music I review. I'm really not into some kinds of music to give the song a fair review... and we can't "skip" the song.

ok...I checked it out and I joined. I like it a lot. it's not as easy as it would appear...at least not to someone like me. I like that I can be on Mylot and listen at the same time. I love hearing new music. I find that I have no problem giving rave reviews on the songs I like. What I do have a problem with is being critical of the ones that I don't like. Music is art and it's all about perception. What I hate...another person could absolutely love. They asked me genres of music that I liked and then immediatly went to play music that was not in those genres. To Challenge??? I don't know. I try to be fair and hopefully the artist is understanding to the fact that all these reviews are merely opinions.

Hi Reya, i ever tried out that site 2 years ago but don't have the luck to earn from it. I am only able to collect points but no monetary value. I am having problem as not sure how able to climb to a higher rank. So, i have no interest to earn from this site anymore. By the way, how have you manage to earn money from this site and you are at which rank now?

Hello, myfb2009!I'm a pretty recent user. I have my account for only 3 months,so i don't quite know what the situation was 2 years ago. Last changes i caught were 2 months ago, when they implemented a new ranking and leveling system, and now the refferals program which was put in use today. You still make points for songs, but also cash. The points grow your level, the cash goes into the main balance. Also, depending of the mark you give the song, your ranking grows or drops. If you rate the song much higher or much lower than the average it got to that point, your rank drops. If you give it a note that's close to the average, your ranking goes up.
For bronze the base salary is 1c, for silver, which is me, 2c (but that's the base, and with what i write it gets to 10-12 usually), for gold 3c and for platinum 4c.
I think you should give them another try, or consult their policy. Maybe not all countries can cashout and some can only get points as a reward. I really don't know. I didn't find anything in their FAQs regarding this subject. If you use it again and still gain only points, you can contact them directly to ask why.
Good luck and let us know how it went. Maybe you'll be able to supply some interesting info for other of your countrymen or other people in the same situation as you!

Hello, aerous! As a matter of fact there are quite a lot of country songs there, or at least i had the fortune of finding them :)) When you sign up they usually ask you to select what types of music you would like to review most, but as i said in another occasion, i like finding new good songs and artists, no matter what genre they approach.
I'm thinking if they made the decision to implement a refferal system they are prepare to expand and face the consequences. Though it has happened before to earning sites that they launched such a good deal that they had to retract it afterwards cause the expansion and costs were too much to handle.

I hope a referral earnings wont ruin that site or any site I hope. Im glad you got paid. I know its always a bit nerve racking not knowing if the site will pay you after you did all the work you were suppose to do. I know it excites me to see the money build and I know its usually only a small amount like 10 or 20 dollars but its still nice to see it go in your account and actually have a site that pays like it says it would.. I will have to check that site out and see how it goes. Keep up the good work and earn earn earn all the while listening to some great music as well as it possibly opening you up to a kind of music you would have never heard or entertained..
