November 15th, 2006 by Hans

Get paid to review products and services at your own skill set! Increase your traffic and provide resourceful articles to your visitors by providing your likes, dislikes and opinions through reviews fitting in your niche subject posted on your blog itself.

Enroll with ReviewMe.com for such exciting journey. Sign-up for an account and place your blog within the reach of prospective advertisers willing to hire you for a review.There’s nothing to risk only the 10 to 15 minutes in reading this article and getting up and functional on ReviewMe.com. But then that would be great fun to hear from you products and services we shouldn’t be missing.

Before sign-in with them, you’re provided informative concise reasons of how the service works after you click the Learn more link from the Bloggers’ banner on the main page. At the end of this list, click Create Account and fill the form with your details. The routine process, nothing difficult here.

After your account has been setup. Consider adding your blog by clicking Submit a Blog that you’ll find on your left under the heading Blogger Toolkit. Fill the respective info for your blog. I would also suggest you pay particular attention to the Category that will determine where your blog will be placed and increasing your chances in having a review better suited to your liking. On your left you would be seeing a category cloud, so click any category to see the type of blog in this section allowing you to have a better view of what advertisers would be wanting to find in such place. Also don’t forget to woo the advertisers with a boasting description of your blog and nifty tags describing it. Submit everything at the end.

You’ll then be presented with info on how much your blog is valued(under heading price) and the pay(under payout) you would be getting after a review. You can still get there any time by clicking Manage my sites under Blogger Toolkit on your left. Don’t worry even if the numbers seem small, everything gets updated anew at the end of the month depending on factors such as your Technorati ranking, traffic and value on Alexa. Consider having a look at the end for recommended reading to help increase your blog’s value and hence your pay.

If you’re lost any time along the site when you’re login, clicking Home on your top left would directly bring you to your accounts area.

And lastly get some dollar by reviewing the ReviewMe.com site until the promo last. Hurry up! Get that account, what are you waiting for? Grab that golden ticket on clicking the big $25,000 banner within your account’s main section.

Hey how would you be going there then, we could meet at the rose-hill bus station or something like that? What do you say?

    @ Stéphanie

    hello there =P too great to see you here. Thanks for reading. I also tried it since there’re no stuffs like banner or whatever to spoil the surrounding, you only have an account with them and if an advertiser wants you for a review, nothing easier to make some money :aww: . I think that ads with banners,etc are really messy :roll: wouldn’t they? You have to consider having really good space for them and everybody now knows how we’re caring about the look

    Hi again,

    I’m not big on the ads either, well at least on my own website. Of course it depends on what kind of blog you have, what your blogging goals are etc.
    I dont’ have anything against the concept, but I prefer the ads space to be discreet and set in a sidebar or some specific area of a page. That way there is little distraction from the content.

    But I wonder. Do people really click on those Google links or graphic ads? I suppose some do, I know I don’t. I’m always amazed to read that some people actually manage to make “real” money from their blog, like Heather at dooce.com for example.

    It’s all a question of balance really. And I also think that there is no point in adding advertisement to a blog if it’s too new, like mine, and has only a small pool of readers.
    So maybe Review Me is a good way to make a little extra money to pay for the hosting and bandwidth bills :-)

    u got till tom morning to let me know if u’r coming with me or not hans ;)

  • 12 Hans Nov 19, 2006 at 3:16 pm

    @ Stéphanie

    I was also asking myself that question : would there be any human clicking on ads? :agree:

    But I think ads success depend on the traffic, that’s why you have so many community building around. Sincerely I don’t think they’re really community but only masking their real objectives : having more traffic from the posts from the best blogs around. More traffic to maximise the chance of having people clicking in *everywhere* infact and in some cases on ads and so there go some cents that become dollars after a thousand click.

    @ lash

    Hey, How did you get paid for writing this post. Even I wrote a similar post, but didn’t get paid.

    But I’ve managed to grab a advertiser from ReviewMe. I earned 50$ out of it.

  • 15 Hans Nov 22, 2006 at 1:22 pm

    @ Thilak

    Your account is credited with the amount and according to the mode of payment you chose, you’re sent the money either by check or by paypal at the end of the month.
