Product Reviews...Do you do them?

Thanks for responding. I tried to find you at AC, but I'm not having any luck. I'm not sure of the way in. Anyway, you are what clout? And I am noticing that reviews get a general 4 bucks, but not so with some of the human interest articles that I like to write.

Yes, I wish I could go and undo an error or two, but you can't on either exclusive or nonexclusive. But you can never go from display to them either. Once displayed, it sticks, unless you delete it.

Now that's interesting. I've noticed my one product review got an over 4 buck payout, but has had very few hits since publishing earlier this month. It is doubtful that it will ever do much better for performance. Makes me wonder why AC pays that much for product reviews and so little for articles of more interest. Sometimes they really miss the boat on articles. I've had ones soar that they have refused and visa-versa. About photos, I have only used my own when I have one that fits an article. I use a 7.1 p. camera and the photos are usually published with the article. That brings me to a question. If you are doing an exclusive article, does that mean your photo is exclusive? Can you have used it elsewhere? Can you use it again or is it gone from your use after publishing it on the article?

Thanks for your comment. Do you do food or non-food products? Do you buy everything you review? Do you follow a certain format every time?

Thanks for sharing. I have only done one product review for a tuna dinner. Couldn't believe the over 4 buck payment for it. Do you check to be certain no one has done the review before you write it? My daughter is thinking of doing movie and book reviews. Do you think she has a good shot of payment?

I think my first 200 reviews were on everything. I then got very disheartened when they refused upfront payments for 10 out of 12 reviews. I then didn't write for a few months. For the past 6 months or so, I have been writing beauty reviews. I have every product that I write about. A lot of them are samples, when I buy from Estee Lauder, Clinique, and Lancome. Others are discounted products at Dollar Tree, CVS, and Walgreen's. I write about the product, how I use it, how it performed, what the manufacturer says about it, and my conclusion. They have paid me for everyone over the past few months. Hope this helps. Susie.
