Can you make money doing product reviews?

If you have been looking for one of the best ways to make money online then you are welcome to the column that will show you how to go about making money online legitimately and easily. Today we are going to take a look at how we can make money online reviewing products.

I was introduced to how to make money online by reviewing products a couple of years ago, but never took it seriously probably because I did not initially have access to Paypal, which is a payment processor that almost all online money making sites use to pay their members. In the online money making quest Paypal is a vital thing that you cannot do without as almost all payments are made through it because of how reliable and fast it is when it comes to the processing of payments.

Because of the part of the world that I live in, it was quite difficult for me getting a Paypal account, but thanks to a very good friend of mine, I have finally been able to resolve that problem and now I have access to Paypal and have started making money online just by reviewing products.

So how do people make money online reviewing products? And why are they paid for reviewing products?

Havent you noticed that many people who want to purchase certain products and services on the internet look for reviews of the products or services that they want to purchase before going on to purchase them? You, the reader, might have also done that on numerous occasions before making a purchase online. You do this because you want to make sure that the product or services that you are buying is the best out of the lot, so you spend a reasonable amount of time searching online for reviews on the particular product or service that you want to purchase.

It is a fact that over 80 percent of shoppers online tend to look for product or service reviews before they go ahead and make a purchase or patronize a particular service that they have never used. In ones quest to make sure that one is making the right decision when it comes to purchasing a product or service online one normally ends up visiting shopping information sites where one hopes to find reviews on the products or services they wish to buy. So what do these shopping information sites do?

They simply provide thorough and detailed reviews on various products and services written by people like you and I, which can help other people to make an informed decision about the products or services they wish to purchase. So it goes without saying that such review sites are always in a constant need of reviews to publish, and with that comes making money online. With every review that a reviewer submits to such sites, the reviewer gets paid.

The internet is loaded with an awful amount of sites that pay you to review products. These sites are popularly called paid to review sites.

In this article we are going to take a look at two great sites that pay you to write reviews on products and services of companies. These two great sites are ReviewStream.com and Shvoong.com.

Let us start with ReviewStream.com. As I sit down to write this article, ReviewStream pays its members an amount of $2.00 for every legitimate review that they write and submit. Before you can get paid by Reviewstream, your review must first be accepted, which is the reason why you should write a very good review. All good and original reviews end up getting accepted. You can submit as many reviews on products that you like and once these reviews get accepted you will be paid. I honestly think that ReviewStream.com is one of the best ways to make money online writing reviews. Also, they have been in business for several years now and have members from all over the world. Yes! Regardless of which part of the world you find yourself you can become a member of Reviewstream and earn money online. Why do I like Reviewstream? The answer is that not only do you make money by writing reviews but also you get more money when people read your reviews and vote on it. Last time I checked, the site paid about $0.10 for every vote that people make on your review. The more readers view your reviews and vote on it, the more money you are going to make in addition to the $2.00 that you have already made. Isnt that just awesome!! So if you want to make money online then dont look farther than ReviewStream.com.

The second paid to review site that Id like to introduce to my readers is the one called Shvoong.com. Well it might have a strange name, but Shvoong is certainly one of the best review sites out there. When you visit Shvoongs site, you are going to find several thousands of reviews on virtually everything you can think of from products to services to website reviews and what have you. Just like ReviewStream, Shvoong has also been in the reviewing business for several years and are considered one of the pioneers in their fields.

When you join Shvoong as a reviewer, you can get to write summaries and reviews on products, books, websites, etc.

How do reviewers make money on Shvoong?

Unlike ReviewStream.com that pays reviewers a specific amount of money for reviewing products, Shvoong doesnt. Shvoong pays reviewers 10 percent of the amount of revenue that advertisements on their site generate. While this might sound like a meager amount, believe me it isnt. Since Shvoong doesnt pay you a one-time fee for your reviews, you can earn from your reviews for as long as the site exists, which is sometimes better than being paid a fixed amount for a particular review. I know people, who over a period of time, have earned as much as $20.00 from just a single review. So you see that with time you end up making more money here.

So folks, there we are with how to go about making money online by writing reviews of products and services. If you have a genuine interest in writing and you have a good command over the English language, then you can start making money online from the comfort of your home just by writing reviews of products.
