ReviewMe: review and get paid
A few weeks ago, someone e-mailed me that my site is eligible for displaying paid or sponsored blog posts. I visited their site (I won’t mention which is it) but I was skeptical because of some elements in their site that didn’t quite measure to my taste. They didn’t have a logo, for one thing. After a few more weeks, someone emailed me again. This time it was someone from the blogpost-sponsoring site itself.
So I finally decided to try the program after some mental calculation. Afterall, participating in these programs is a win-no win situation. You post about their product and you earn. You don’t post and you won’t earn and you won’t lose anything either.
Then I received my first email. The instructions are simple. You write a post mentioning a particular product and its link, you submit the link to your post containing the link and when you’re done, they’ll pay you.
However, here comes the hard part. Writing on a topic like rhinoplasty or loan/debts isn’t among my interests. Yes, I could probably mention them in my posts but there ARE 10 products and I couldn’t write posts about them ALL in just 5 days! (Hey, I’m a personal blogger and how the hell am I going to include these products in my PERSONAL posts, and they aren’t even among my interest.)
A few days later (after deciding NOT to continue the offer I mentioned above), while browsing other blogs, I came across ReviewMe site. This time I didn’t hesitate to think about joining the program. Their terms are easy.
- Sign up for a free ReviewMe account and submit your blog.
- Based on ratings, traffic, subscribers, etc, your blog becomes eligible for circulation around the ReviewMe advertisers.
- Advertisers will offer their site for you to review.
- Accept/decline the reviews offered.
- ReviewMe pays you $20 - $200 for each completed review you submit via check or PayPal.
What instantly appealed to me in the ReviewMe program was choice I had to make in reviewing the advertisers’ sites. If I don’t like the site or the service or product it offers, I wouldn’t be ‘forced’ to write. On the other hand, I can passionately write about a particular site or product that I really like.
Hope this service goes on for long. Let’s try. This is my first sponsored post. 
Wow, ReviewMe seems like a good program. Maybe, I’ll join too. I also received an email from that first program you mentioned. I didn’t even bother joining.
