Did you know that you can get paid for reviewing websites and other products? Advertisers are willing to pay you money to give your assessment of a particular good or service. These reviews are useful because it helps to get a product before more consumers and it brings more traffic to the advertisers site. Bloggers love doing reviews because it just adds to the ways that they can make money online.

What is Review Me?

Review Me is an online service that matches bloggers and advertisers together for paid reviews. Review Me finds advertisers that are willing to pay you to review and promote specific products and websites.  Advertisers are often looking for someone to review a new ebook, software product, or even their own website. They use these reviews as a way of helping to promote their products to other readers.

The best part about Review Me is that you can set the price for your reviews. Review Me automatically generates an amount that you should charge for reviews based on their ranking system. They judge your site by factors such as Alexa ranking, RSS subscribers, and Page Rank. You can manually change this rate based on what you believe your site is worth.

If you want to get a bunch of review offers, you can always lower your rate. If you would like to be more discriminating, you can increase your rate. I have seen reviews as low as $25 and reviews as high as $750. Your audience has to be pretty large to get an advertiser to pay $500 and up.

Review Me’s commission is pretty hefty for finding you these reviewing deals. It’s a 50/50 split. Fifty percent for you and fifty percent for Review Me. You also have to disclose that you were compensated for your review.

My Take On Paid Reviews

I think that paid reviews are a good way to earn some extra income online as long as you disclose this fact to your site’s readers. That way you do no not compromise the integrity of your website. Also, every review should be honest regardless of whether you are compensated or not. You can review a product or site honestly and state its weaknesses without calling it the worst product that you have ever seen in your life.

You can always turn down a reviewing opportunity if it is a product that you don’t believe in. If you do find a product that you like then Review Me is a good way to add to your income stream.

So, which side are you on? for or against paid reviews?
