While doing my usual blog hopping, I found this website called ReviewStream.com. It is a website that buys product reviews; another interesting way to earn money online. The Paid to Write Review program is different from Paid to Post in the sense that you do not have to post your review on your blog. This is actually discouraged by ReviewStream.com. So you don’t need to have your own blog or website for you start making money.
What’s nice about them is that you can write reviews about anything. They encourage their “reviewers” to write only about products that they have actually used first hand. So “reviewers” are really paid to share their opinions and experiences as a consumer.
How and how much will you earn? They have their criteria for buying reviews. If you met all their requirements, they will pay you based on the going rate, which may vary every once in a while. Yesterday, when I submitted my reviews, it was $2 per review. If you did not meet some of their criteria, they have a bulk rate, which is about 20% of the going rate. When you submit your review/s, you can already specify if you’re willing to sell it on bulk rate. The minimum pay-out is $50, which is just easy to reach since you’re not limited to particular products or campaigns.
Oh and don’t be surprised when you visit their website to register. They actually don’t have a register or login page. You may immediately submit reviews using a pen name or your real name on your first visit! Just remember that the email address that you should specify is your Paypal email address because that’s where they will pay you.
I think this is going to be one of my favorite ways to earn. Why not try it? Visit them at ReviewStream.com.
I immediately joined Link From Blog after reading rave reviews about it. For those not familiar yet, LinkFromBlog.com is a website where companies advertise on blogs.
One good thing about LinkfromBlog.com is that the activation of my account was almost instant. I received notification that my account has been activated a few minutes after I created my account. Getting your account activated immediately means you can bid on campaigns and earn straight away. The only down side is that they have a limited list of campaigns as of now. But they do have great customer service support. When I inquired about their campaigns, they emailed me back immediately, politely explaining that they are still building their list and that they are trying to get more advertisers; which is true because every time I login, I see new campaigns and offers. They now have a longer list of offers as compared to the first time I checked their website. More than working for a growing company, it is also nice to know that you deal with real,honest people.
So if you like reviewing websites or products, LinkfromBlog is worth a try. Don't you think?
“Find a job that you love and you will never have to work a day in your life at all.” I learned this from my very first boss in the bank where I used to work. This has been my guiding principle when it comes to career decisions ever since.
I find it very true and apt even for a freelancer or someone who works from home. It does not necessarily follow that you will enjoy working if you are working from home. You got to love what you do. Finding focus and motivation are just some of the things you deal with on a day-to-day basis when you work from home. If you do not even like what you do, it is going to be more difficult to motivate yourself, become productive, and consequently make money. Remember, you now work alone and you do not have a boss who will check on the progress of your work every once and a while. You are now responsible to the development of your freelance work or home business. Accordingly, the first thing you have to do is to find your passion.
Think, “What type of work do I want to have if not for money?” I also often hear that this is one of the foundations of a good business. Me? I love recruiting so I am still into it now. I also try to dabble on writing and research. These things kept me busy as a freelancer for the past months.
If you love what you do, other things just follow. It is easier to wake up in the morning, without dragging yourself to your work space. It is also less stressful and will not give you nightmares.
If you have a flair for writing, here’s a possible income stream for you. Associated Content is a website that will pay you for the articles you submit and gets published.
In Associated Content, you have the liberty to write about anything under the sun. If you are still looking for an idea, they have an assignment desk where topics are available for claiming.
So how do you get started?
Before you can submit your article, you have to be a member first. You may sign up by going to their site AssociatedContent.com.
When writing an article that you want to submit to AC, the content must be original with at least 400 words. The articles go through a screening process and not every article submitted gets to be published.
Their interface in article submission is really just easy to use. What you need to know is that when you submit an article, there are types of rights you grant AC. These are:
Exclusive
• Cannot be re-published elsewhere by you
• Cannot be removed from AC by you
• Eligible for higher Upfront Payment Review
Applicable to U.S. residents only
Non-Exclusive
• Can be re-published elsewhere by you
• Cannot be removed from AC by you
• Eligible for Upfront Payment Review
Applicable to U.S. residents only
Display
• Can be re-published elsewhere by you
• Can be edited or removed from AC by you
• Not eligible for Upfront Payment Review
For non-US residents like me, the earnings will come from the page views. You will definitely not get rich in AC but it’s a form of passive income. Submit an article that you already have and it will definitely earn as long as it is posted on the net. Since they don’t get exclusive right on the article you wrote, you can still publish it elsewhere. Plus, you can also make a name for yourself. In the author’s profile page, you can put a link to your site or blog so it’s a way of promotion too.
If you want to give it a try, here’s the link again:
Paid-To-Click is one of the many ways to earn money online. For those who are new to the term, Paid-To-Click or simply PTC sites are websites where advertisers go to promote their products by having people view their websites. There are no skills required to become a member of any of the PTC sites, all you need is a PayPal or Alert Pay account where they can pay you.
If you search the internet, you will find a lot of PTC sites as well as PTC sites listings. It is supposed to be the easiest way to earn money online, that is why everyone wants to try it. As a member, you are only supposed to click a link to an advertiser’s website and stay there for 30 seconds or so for you to earn a credit. Once you reach the minimum payout value, you may already request for payout. The number of sites you can visit in a day varies depending on the PTC site you joined. It is also dependent on the type of your membership. These sites offer membership upgrades so that you get to receive more links in a day and your clicks have more value.
PTC sites also have referral schemes, which is the reason why people bother to put up blogs dedicated to PTC sites listing. Like multi-level marketing, you will earn from the “clicks” and “referrals” of the people you refer or your “downline” as they call it.
However, as PTC proliferated, it became a target of scammers. As a result, there are more scam PTC sites out there than the legit ones. Good thing is, there are people who really put effort in reviewing PTC sites and sharing what they know about bad vs. good sites. One of the important advice I got that I want to share is to stay away from PTC sites that offer high earnings. They only lure people to join them but before you know it they’re already gone. These sites more often than not, do not have real advertisers to back them up. So they cannot last long in the industry.
Having done my research, I have recently joined a couple of these sites. Let’s wait and see. Whatever the result is, I will share here.
