Review Products
Some bloggers do not participate in paid
reviews and product inclusion because it can be misleading if
you do not state that you are being paid for your testimonial
or recommendation. If you feel as though reviewing products or
recommending them to your readers without disclosing that you
are being paid is dishonest, then the practice is not for
you.
On the other hand, if you think the products you review are
worthwhile and are worthy of mention in your blog, what better
way to make money then sharing these products with your
readers.
There are a few different websites that will connect you with
companies that will pay you to include their product or service
in your blog. The pay ranges per assignment and you may be
required to write a few sentences about a specific product or a
few paragraphs, or even a whole blog entry.
Generally your blog has to receive a good deal of traffic to
get accepted by these websites, and depending on how much work
you do for them payment can be slight or substantial. If you
want to try your hand at reviewing products for payment, check
out these sites:
Creamaid - While this site is not solely dedicated to reviewing
products, many of their opportunities are for posting your
opinion in your blog for payment.
Different “conversations” are started on the site and you pick
the ones that look interesting to you. Some require you to
review a product or website in your blog and other require you
to post comments elsewhere; of course you can always include a
link to your blog which will bring it more traffic.
Reviewme - This site is dedicated to connecting bloggers with
companies who want reviews written. You submit your blog and if
it is accepted, companies will request that you write a review
for them depending on the content of your blog.
Reviewme states that you get paid between $20 and $200 per
review. Your blog does have to have a minimum number of readers
to qualify but you can always resubmit if it does not meet the
criteria the first time.
Pay Per Post - Pay Per Post is similar to Reviewme. You submit
your blog for approval and when it is approved you can start
reviewing products and websites in your blog for cash.
Pay Per Post has a market place where you can pick which
opportunities you want to write about and payment varies
according to the assignment you choose.
Sponsored Reviews - This site lets you submit your blog and
then pick from a listing of review opportunities or lets
companies contact you directly and request a review. Payment
varies by assignment.
Smorty - Smorty is all about providing your opinion in your
blog about an available advertiser’s campaign. You may not be
reviewing a product per say, but you will be giving your
opinion. Your blog has to be indexed by Google, older than
three months, and have at least two new posts per week.
Posting your opinion or review for advertisers is a good way to
make cash from your blog. You should remember, however, that
like affiliate marketing blatant attempts to advertise to
readers does not usually work as well as naturally including a
review or opinion in your blog.
