In your experience, what is the best site for writing reviews? How much does does epinions pay? I used to use reviewstream, but that site is not good to write for anymore. I also tried a site that pays for healthy product reviews but I guess my reviews were not accepted. I know a lot of people like Ciao, but they seem to change all the time. What site do you like?

Hi Snowy, I'm still trying out reviewstream, why is the site not good anymore? can you elaborate?
What is your writing experience for Reviewstream?
I wonder how long it takes to reach $50, I hope to write enough in a month so that I can see the money soon.

They say they pay two dollars for reviews and in most cases that is not what you are going to get. Most of the reviews pay forty cents and lately they have been kicking some of them out saying they are too vague. In most cases they are not really even taking the time to read the reviews. It is something that is just automatically generated.

Hi Snowy, from what I read, the first review article in Reviewstream for a particular product will earn $2. The next few articles will make just 40 cents. And some categories do not even make $2 per review, even though you are the first to write about a product.
Reviewstream is very profit-minded. Someone says that you have to keep SEO in mind when you write reviews, just make sure that brand name or the product code appears a few times in the review.

One of my favorite sites to write on for any genre is Associated Content. I have been a member there for a few years, but just recently started writing on it. If you write a review, it may not receive ( I am not sure, or it depends?) an upfront payment. Most of these types of pays start at 2, 3, or 4 dollars.. But the good thing is in addition to that, or in replacement of that a performance payment is given at $1.50, for every thousand page views. This gives you a chance to optimize the SEO for targeting views! The next and newer bonus to this site is the RSS feed. With the free membership, you can choose to send all of your published work right onto Twitter, or Facebook, etc.. Check it out...

Yeah, I'm a member of associated content. I have never beent that impressed with that site. I think it is hard to make any real money on there, though I am sure that people do. I prefer sites where it is easy to make cash. It is easy and straightforward.

Ciao USA is closing down so there is no point joining that and you have to have a UK bank account to be able to be piad for Ciao UK. Epinions is good especially if you can write at least 20 reviews per month as then you get an extra bonus. Plus you don't need to reach $100 dollars to cash out if you are based in the USA unlike myself who has to because of not being based in the USA! Saying that it is not bad for me to have to wait as it means I can build up a nice kitty before cashing out! lol

Hi frankiecesca,
Thanks for your response. It tried epinions and I thought it seemed very confusing. I will look at it again.

Ciao.com use to be the best for me. It's quite bit easy to earn money there. But since a members my country also being restricted, it was not the best for me anymore hehe... I know about reviewstream but i'm not getting familiar there.
