Writing Reviews is Fun and Rewarding!

Whether it is a video game, a new movie on DVD, or a new car, savvy internet users will search for reviews to find out what others think of the product. They find the reviews by accident often, searching for price comparisons. There are many types of reviews you can write, usually coming from the products you buy and use everyday and there are several ways to sell your reviews.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

ReviewStream is a very straight-forward website. You submit a review, if they accept it they pay you $1.50 – 2.00. No PV’s or royalties. Be sure to read their writer’s guidelines for minimum words, etc. If they do not need your review or the quality was not good enough, you can submit the review again to them for the “bulk rate”. The bulk rate is calculated by dividing the regular rate by five. If the regular rate is $2.00 (currently), then the bulk rate would be 2/5=.40 (yep, that’s forty cents). If you choose to use the bulk rate, that’s okay, but there are other places you can sell your writing as well.
Step 2

Websites such as Associated Content and Helium make it pretty easy to publish your review. Associated Content may pay you an “up front” payment ($3-6 currently). If they decline it, you can publish it on Helium or for Display only on Associated Content.

Constant-Content is another content site where you sell your writing. You can post your review for sale there as well. If you publish your article on Associated Content for “Display Only” or “Non-Exclusive”, you can sell it (multiple times) on Constant-Content at the same time for “Use”.

This is a strategy that many writers use for reviews. Many webmasters need the reviews, and paying “Use” price for them is appealing because they need to buy so many of them.
Step 3

Additionally, you can post your reviews to your blog. The only income you will generate there is your AdSense or other affiliate program, but it also drives traffic to discover your blog. You can post it on your blog as well as selling it on Constant-Content for “Usage”.

on 10/4/2009 Excellent article. It is so nice to know there are companies out there other than Sponsored Reviews who are more than happy to allow you to write all you want. It burns my ... when a company will not except your talent because your site is too new, or some ridiculous "nose in the air reason". They must be a far left organization.
