Review Stream: Write Product Reviews and Get Paid!

ReviewStream.com is the best opportunity for people who enjoy writing, want to make money honestly helping others, and want to work from home. Review Stream accepts reviews on just about any product or service, from books and movies to cosmetics and housewares to restaurants and hotels. Any experience you have ever had with such products can be submitted to Review Stream as a review of at least 200 words, and if it meets the requirements of the website, it will be accepted and at the current rate you will be paid $1.50 USD. That doesn't sound like a lot, but any writer knows that 200 words is gravy, and if you can bang out a bunch of these per day--as most decent writers can--you can make good money.

If the review meets only some of the criteria--it's somewhat useful but it's too short; the topic is too common; it contains more fact than opinion--it may be bought by Review Stream for bulk rate, which is the regular rate divided by 5, currently $0.30 USD. This is significantly less, but it still adds up depending on how many reviews you write!

Every time you submit a review, you have the option of checking the box that indicates you are prepared to receive the bulk rate for the review. If you do not check this box and Review Stream is not prepared to pay you the full rate, you may revise the review and re-submit it for the full rate.

Sound Good? Get to it!

Follow these tips and tricks to make sure you get accepted and make sure you do your best to help people!

1. Make sure your review is your personal opinion, not just a product description. If your review is too heavy on the facts and doesn't express enough opinion, it is more likely to go for bulk rate and might even be rejected. This is your chance to be opinionated, so go for it. Make sure you write in the first person point of view and use "I" a lot. Use lots of details about your own personal experience; go easy on describing the product.

2. Make a note of the categories that are in the highest demand. On the Review Stream homepage, they try to help you out by telling you the top categories that are in most demand from Review Stream readers. Right now, they are electronics, travel (and related), cosmetics, medicine and local businesses.

3. Do a search for the product you want to review and make sure the site is not already chock full of reviews for this product. If they are inundated with reviews for a certain product, your review might be demoted to bulk rate and might even be rejected. I recently had reviews rejected for the television show "How I Met Your Mother" and the film Love Actually. They already have too many reviews on these, and I wasn't paying attention.

4. Proofread your work, and make sure each review is at least 200 words. Self-explanatory, yes? Make sure your reviews meet the minimum word count of 200 and don't submit reviews with spelling and grammatical errors. These will be rejected.

5. Don't get discouraged if your first batch of reviews has some that go for bulk rate and/or some that are rejected. That happens to the best of us! It takes awhile to get the hang of anything new; of course that is also true for this!

Got all that? Then give it a try!

I have always found it so incredibly helpful to read reviews before purchasing a product, staying in a hotel, or trying a new restaurant. I often use Review Stream for this purpose because due to the financial incentive, they have the most numerous, honest, opinionated and diverse product reviews on the Internet. You can find anything you're looking for--cars, cell phones, books, insurance policies, colleges and universities, food products, websites and even pets. You never have to spend a penny on anything again, except maybe a house, without reading about someone else's experience first.

Even the reviews themselves are ranked because readers can click the button beneath each review to state that they found it useful--and I encourage you to do so, because each vote earns the reviewer an extra $0.10 USD for helping you!
