Reviews are BIG online. You can review anything at all. Here’s a tip - the more expensive the products, the more you’ll be paid to write reviews. So book reviews tend to be low-pay, whereas products like cars, vacations and boats tend to be well paid.

How to get started writing reviews

There are lots of sites online which will pay you to write reviews, and if you’re just starting out, you can sign on with them and get paid to write. My ebook Cash for Content gives you lots of venues for which you can write reviews.

Once you’re experienced however, you’ll want to target large sites with products and services which are not currently publishing reviews. Offer to write reviews for these sites. One point: make sure that you USE the products and services for which you’re writing reviews. There’s no way to write a good review without experience with the product.

Start a review blog

If you’re very keen on products in a particular well-paid niche, such as digital cameras or vacations for example, start a blog in that niche. By the time you have several months’ worth of content, you’ll be approached by companies to start writing reviews for them. You can increase your income, and turn writing reviews into a prosperous business.
