That's an interesting approach. Do you find that you can get $2 from a rejected review by adding more to it and re-submitting it? I didn't think it worked that way, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong about this! I thought that you could only get $2 by reviewing things in the 'most wanted' category or for items in the list of special requests (all on the LHS of the Reviewstream homepage). When I first started reviewing I didn't check the bulk-rate box, but then I got some messages saying that they weren't prepared to pay $2 for some of the reviews. As these were usually either for popular items which many other people had already reviewed, or for British products that a lot of their audience probably weren't familiar with I didn't think that it would be possible to get $2 for them, so I just re-submitted them with the bulk-rate box checked and got paid 40 cents for them. I believed that this was all I could get for them however much I improved the review, as they weren't the types of reviews which were particularly desired by Reviewstream. I hope that all made sense, I'm a bit tired ! If it did then I'd be interested to know what you think; is it the item that we review that determines which rate we are paid or the quality of the review, no matter what we're reviewing?

Hey liquorice. The biggest mistake people make in writing reviews is that they describe the product or appliance or whatever in great detail but then they don't offer opinions. It's the opinions that are so important in a review. For example, if I'm reviewing Keurig Single Cup Brewing Systems (which I did on Reviewstream), I don't just want to describe how there's no real clean up because it brews right into the cup. I want to say something like, I really love the fact that there's no dish to wash except for the cup I brewed the coffee into and drank out of. When I write my reviews, I keep the paragraphs short, maximum 3 or 4 short sentences. And in each paragraph, I give an opinion. So, every single paragraph has my feelings about the product or whatever it is. When I proofread it before submitting, I check each paragraph to make sure I included an opinion in each one. Of course, I always run a spell check. And, I never check the bulk rate. I've never had one rejected. But, if they reject it, and tell you what's wrong, rewrite it to their specifications exactly and re-submit it. Well, there's my tips on writing reviews. Keep writing, JohnnyP5379.

61 reviews is not bad for $50 earnings, especially if you just do a few a day, only take you a few weeks, congrats. That is my goal too, to write about 3 a day.
