How to Earn Money by Publishing High Paid Reviews while Saving the Internet World?

July 12, 2010 - Last Modified: February 14, 2013 by Hesham Zebida

High Paid Reviews

Probably you have notice that FamousBlogger.net authority and popularity is increasing day by day because of the great efforts of so many bloggers in our blogging community who has been contributing amazing content and giving extremely high support. Today.. I will try to give some insights for those who are trying to get high paid reviews published on their blogs and earning money while making the internet world a better place for everybody, and try to have a discussion to understand paid reviews as a part of blogging for money.

I know that the answer to this question seems to be a little complicated, I mean.. Who can do high paid reviews and earn good money without including some white lies?! Well.. We have done it! and we have an answer to this complicated question I will share with you, but first.. and because thanking people for their good work is very important -even if I don’t mention them by names- I must do it before anything else, I am sorry!

I want to take the chance to talk a little about Famous Bloggers as a growing community for bloggers who wants to learn, and at the same time share and teach their own working techniques and tips with others, and thank them for the great work.

I also want to thank the Internet Marketers, because of them I now know what “Paid Reviews” means, and I am going to share with you my own story -I hope you do’t mind- that happened when I first started blogging, and challenges I was facing at that time, maybe you will find something interesting or you will know about something you have been missing!

Funny things always happen to me at the beginning of discovering anything!

Generally speaking, paid reviews is a nice and fast way to make money from the internet if you know how to do them, and you do them “Fast”!

I have done several paid reviews through common paid reviews services, it was the very first thing I ever know that really allows you to earn fast and make money by writing on your own blog about services and products, but the “Fast” was not fast enough, always there is a problem, but the good thing in this life is for each problem there is always a solution, and some times there are more than one solution, you just need to look for them on the right place!

How the Magic Started?

After a few months from starting my new blog, and after the first Google PageRank update, I got my first self hosted blog’s PageRank of 4, this made advertisers and marketer contact me almost every week asking for a “blog review”!

To be honest, I didn’t know how to write a good review or even whatever review, I actually didn’t know what is a “blog review” at that time!

Don’t be shocked, but I am telling the pure truth!

It’s very common thing if you used to live in a country that promises everyday to provide an affordable and cheap internet connections regarding the revolution of communication, and you wait and wait, and nothing from that happen. If you live in a country that is not on PayPal list and you can not bring the cash you have earned in. If your first language is not English and all the time try to discover what people are talking about!

You Must Overcome your Challenges

I remember I was suffering from all of that and having no hope of earning from the internet, and I had to go with Google AdSense because they pay by Western Union which has a hand on every country, but the daily 0.20 cents will not take care of hunger, AdSense earnings was not enough for anything! But because nothing is impossible in this life, I had to find a way. After several tries and wasted time, I finally discovered the solution, in one word it’s “Connections”, powerful connections with people from all over the world! (If you know what I mean!)

What a Hunter like me will do?!

Marketers and advertisers introduced me to this -new to me- world, and of course, a hunter like me will “immediately” try to understand why those guys want to pay me for, and what’s so special about my blog that makes it valuable for them!

So, I tried to discover what is a blog review, and I got the picture -I thought I did- it seemed to be very simple, just write whatever 300 words review the service or the product, tell people how much you like it, and how awesome it is to have it and you will get paid from $10 up to $40 per review!

What I have DONE? And what I have GOT?!

Probably now you know what’s missing, it’s the word “Honest”, it’s missing from all those reviews, yes.. Those reviews was not honest enough!

I really don’t know how this happened! maybe because the concept of working online was a little confusing at the beginning and I just didn’t get it!

What I have done?! I wrote fast cheap paid reviews that -in my own personal opinion- worth nothing, and what I have got now is a nice full of crap paid reviews blog that also -in my personal opinion- worth nothing, just nothing!

Some times I am afraid to share… But silent is not the solution!

“Sorry” will not solve the problem, but maybe working hard to change that will maybe fix it, some nice hard new start probably will change the world!

Changing the World!

I didn’t fully understand that mistake when I was doing it, and probably instead of feeling guilty I was proud of it, I mean I am making money online, and everything seems to be fine, but it wasn’t!

I really don’t blame my self -I would if I still doing it till now- but what I did to change the world?!

I had a dream, I made a plan, I did some sacrifices, and I worked hard! and again I am so thankful for those who dreamed with me!

Since I started FamousBloggers.net, and I am thinking different about everything, I am so open to learn and discover the facts of everything around me, I take it a step by step, and I don’t rush things! and after working for several month we could get enough popularity, and enough amount of traffic to attract marketers!

I realized that a review is a review, no matter what, but you have to write it based on your own personal experience with the service or the product you are reviewing, we must know what we are talking about, we should review only what we know is right, and this is how we are doing here on Famousbloggers.net!

How we put our Paid Reviews Policy

So many people knows that we have created a powerful community here at FB, and a lot are visiting our advertising page almost everyday, I receive emails from advertisers and marketers on daily basis, I reject so many requests because I know our blog readers, I feel what they like and dislike, and I am looking forward to know them more in the future to give them what they need, want and looking for!

I had to add this to our advertising page to tell marketers about how we do paid reviews:

We have a group of motivated writers, they can review your product or service. contact us if your service or product match our niche and tell us about your needs, our reviews prices start from $xx (we don’t review any product or service unless we try it and take a deep look inside!)

I put xx instead of the price because it could change at any time, so I won’t include it here, anyways.. review price is not a big deal, the deal here is how we are doing it, and how we will introduce the service or the product to our blog readers, those who put their trust on us, those who knows that we got paid to publish a review, so.. I am going to tell this fact, we will never review something on FamousBloggers just because we got paid for it!

The benefits of writing Honest Reviews

Our first rule is to write an honest review, and this is the main thing I am discussing with our marketers when they contact me, there is nothing in this world will make us write what the marketers want, there is only honest reviews, they pay us because of the fact that we are honest!

So, if the service or product we are talking about doesn’t appeal to be a high level service, then we will have to include that on our review, and no matter what.. we will never sell our readers for a few dollars!

And guess what?! This really works, people respect us when we tell the truth, right?

Even marketers and products owners are respecting us because we give them a honest review, which is a great help to them to enhance and evaluate their own service or product, they deal with it as a good and helpful feedback, and that’s pretty cool!

How to write a high paid review?

Because we have done great job with our paid reviews experiment, then we will try to rank our reviews higher in search engines, because we have nothing to hide or to be shy of, and probably this explain our paid review prices and conditions, it’s clearly because of the kind of service we provide, why not giving some points or steps of writing a high paid review:

  • Discover and get to know the product or the service you are reviewing
  • Write a honest review (This is the most important step)
  • Promote your review on social media and bookmarking sites
  • Do some SEO magic rank your review higher in search engines

We are working day and night to guarantee that every piece of content going out to our readers is 100% safe, and has value.

We have rejected so many posts and articles from a few bloggers, marketers and link builders, and I have talked about this before, the reason is they are aiming only to build backlinks to their clients by writing guest posts and getting it published on several blogs!

I am so thankful to all bloggers who supported FamousBloggers.net all the way!

We just want everybody to know that we are accepting guest posts only from real bloggers, we support bloggers in our community, and if see in the future any reviews is because we know the person, we trust and support them, mainly because they are our community friends.

Gaining the Trust!

This is trust, it’s the most valuable and important thing in our lives, building trust is not easy because trust is a “good thing” and good things are always hard to achieve!

I am sure there are hundreds of bloggers have done it, doing it, and will do it over and over! I must tell you, it’s all in your hands to change all that, it’s a simple decision you can make today, maybe it’s hard to achieve, but it’s completely worth your hard work, I promise you, it will pay off one day, and probably better than you can imagine!

That was how we got high paid reviews published on our blog and earning money while making the internet world a better place!

So… plz learn from my mistakes, and participate in making the online world a better place!

    I like this idea. I am trying to move not become a professional blogger / copywriter. Been trying to find jobs through PeoplePerHour and by advertising, but no luck yet. Maybe the paid review idea will help me a little.
  2. lawmacs says:
    I have done a few review in the past Hesham made a few dollars one thing i learnt is that immediately after writing the review you write a post and promote the post not the review and as you have mentione d the trouble is you have to weight the balance that suit your readers thanks for sharing your thoughts on this matter. Hesham
    • Hesham says:
      Yes! that's it... the Share Moment! that makes me feel shy to share what's not me or my real opinion -if I have one- about the review topic! You are welcome Lawmacs, and thanks you so much for stepping by today!
  3. Kristi Hines says:
    I can't write a review without taking a long time to look at what is being reviewed first and, if possible, trying it out myself. The first review here was on a service I did not need at the time, but it was easy to write a good review based on samples of their work plus a huge testimonial collection from their customers. If the service didn't have those two things, I'm not sure that I could have honestly made a good review for them, as my standard has been to only review things I have experience with. It's important to remember to do the review in your own words - never use the articles supplied by the company who want the review. It's way to easy for someone to Google a product review and find that yours is using the same stock text as everyone else's, which will diminish your reader's trust in any of your content from there on out.
    • Hesham says:
      Thank you for the nice add Kristi! It's really make difference to add personal opinion to the review, and I completely agree with you.. "NEVER use the articles supplied by the company who want the review!"
  4. Manikandan says:
    Hi very informative..well structured content...got lot of ideas..I always believe in trust.Yep, we also take care of our readers when we gonna take a paid review..Keep in touch and take care.... Cheers :)
    • Hesham says:
      Glad to hear that from Manikandan! and thanks for your kind words and your time!
  5. Murlu says:
    It's great to know that FB has such a strict policy in providing great content even when it's a paid review. A single bad impression from a paid review can turn people away thats why you always need to make sure readers know you put your full objections behind it.
    • Hesham says:
      I just want to think different - if I can- and probably you know that publishing a lot of reviews is not healthy for any blog because it could upset search engines, and because we love search engines we won't upset them lol! Seriously.. by following this policy you will also filter people who is thinking to contact you and reduce the readers pain, and this is how you can set a higher price with a lot of sense!
  6. DiTesco says:
    "I reject so many requests because I know our blog readers, I feel what they like and dislike, and I am looking forward to know them more in the future to give them what they need, want and looking for!" The first and foremost important thing to think about before accepting any paid review. So true and yet many people do not realize that by not applying the "rules of engagement" that you personally share here will be their downfall in the future. Honesty is what counts and once you gain the credibility people and advertisers will also realize that this is the only way to spread the word out. In addition, this approach also serves as a "SPAM Filter" to those who want nothing but build links and sell crapy products. Dude, I love you and your honesty. A dying breed indeed :)
    • Hesham says:
      lol you make me laugh loud DiTesco because of the last part of your comment! And, you are right buddy, you have summarized this long post in one cool powerful paragraph!
  7. Dennis Edell says:
    I've done my share in the past and you're right. You must include the good, bad, and even ugly. Readers appreciate it, and surprisingly so do the advertisers. One key trick is, when writing the bad and ugly, always include advice or opinion on how they can improve. ;)
    • Hesham says:
      That's right Dennis, and it's great feeling when you are dine with a good review that everyone respect! Thanks for the advice! and yes this will add great value to the review!
      • Dennis Edell says:
        You're welcome and thanks. :) I'm really surprised more reviewers don't do it; seems like common sense, don't it? Most just write something like, "this feature sucks"...OK, how does that help?
  8. Kimi says:
    I agree with you, adsense won't give us "enough" results lol. Especially if the clicks aren't high paying keywords, but it is more reliable for a long term.. This post actually gives me an idea, how important Page ranks are, it is something new that people contact you to review their blog/website. Thank you for sharing :)
    • Hesham says:
      Yeap! people will contact you if they feel you have the power! also a good "About us" & "advertising" pages is so helpful!
  9. Agent Deepak says:
    Honesty and trust is always the key to good Review. Hesham its good to know how you overcame your situation in a positive way. I feel energized with your efforts. I am hopping to do as good as you.
    • Hesham says:
      I am sure you will do great work Agent Deepak, keep going buddy!
  10. Tia says:
    Thanks, Hesham, for this as eventually I would like to start doing paid reviews. I know that page rank is key, so that has to come up. I also like Justin's info about SocialSpark. I've got an account there, mainly because I was curious. I'll now install that script to track visits. I would definitely like to go the route of paid reviews. Cheers, Tia
    • Hesham says:
      You are welcome Tia, and yes Justin is our SocialSpark expert! Enjoy!
  11. Chadrack says:
    Another great post. Though I've really dreamed of paid reviews but, like you said, there are challenges to overcome. Traffic has been a crucial challenge my blog has to overcome and for now I'm concentrating on working that out. I believe knowledge like this will help many of us when we are set to do things like paid reviews. It's great to know that you overcame issues that has to do with paypal. Would have to know how you did it because I'm facing the same challenges!
    • Hesham says:
      I see that the best way to do it is actually not concentrating on it, just do what you do and it will come alone! You will have to find a connection with a person that you really trust!
  12. Ravi Ahuja says:
    Paid reviews can be good way of earning some good money. I have written just one paid review I also got some more opportunity for paid review but most of them are out of the topic from my blog because of that I don't like to write paid review.
    • Hesham says:
      Yeah, this happen all the time! You will love to do paid reviews if you set a good policy that you are comfort with! I also don't advise doing a lot of reviews.. it's just an occasional work, one or two per month will be nice depending on your blog publishing average !
      • Dennis Edell says:
        This is a very strong point. The last thing you want to do is annoy readers by turning into a "review blog".
  13. Designer Freelance says:
    Hi Hesham, Thanks for sharing this inspirational and full of information story. Your posts always have great content. It is funny because a company is looking me for making a product review and I wasn’t sure what to respond (or how to do the review) You confirm me what I think is the most important value "honest" Thanks Again
    • Hesham says:
      Hey Javier, Yes buddy.. Honest is our protection!
  14. Ryan Biddulph says:
    Hi Hesham, Thanks for sharing your inspirational story. Your hard work, faith and strong sense of morals has made FamousBloggers a successful site. I can easily see that. As for paid reviews as you mentioned trust is at the core of a solid paid review. Be honest with people and you prosper in the long run. Ryan Biddulph
    • Hesham says:
      Thank you for the kind words Ryan, I really appreciate you as a very good friend of FB! and also as a hard worker guy.. you probably know that I am following your blog and enjoying your awesome videos! I really like your work, keep it up!
  15. Dev says:
    Hey Hesham, Thanks for the another awesome Post man. You always come up with some great content. I think doing honest review is most important thing..!! Thanks for sharing this great Post. Keep up the awesome work. ~Dev
    • Hesham says:
      Hey Dev, I just put my thoughts and ideas in a very natural way like I am talking to you, I found this very good way o generate blogging ideas! I hope it will benefit! by the way, I saw your recent ninja post, nice images you have there ;)
  16. Nabeel says:
    Hi Hesham, I completely agree with your views and mindset. Hesham, you absolutely have the correct mindset, and I salute you for that. I also believe in the same view, of only doing honest reviews. You see people can also see through if you are just doing a review without being honest. And It is a matter of your personal values and beliefs. As they say, 'honesty is the best policy!' Kindest, Nabeel
    • Hesham says:
      Thank you Nabeel for your kind words! It's very good thing to see how product and services owners react when we give some good feedback in the review, and they see that readers interact with the article giving much more opinions and advices1 it's like hitting more than one bird with only one rock! I completely agree "honesty is the best policy"
  17. Aaron says:
    Hesham, I have nothing against paid reviews as long as they are honest and from an objective standpoint, as you stated. If the product or service is horrible, just say so. If they company doesn't like it, then they can find a new blogger to promote their crap next time ;)
    • Hesham says:
      Exactly, no crap work ;)
  18. element321 says:
    Hesham, I know we have talked in depth about this topic. I know how important it is to be honest with everyone. Thanks for sharing with everyone about how FB does their reviews...
    • Hesham says:
      Hey James, I am trying to create some new opportunity hopefully we can do something nice in the near future!
      • element321 says:
        Cool, let me know when. I am ready to get started on some new projects.
  19. Justin Germino says:
    This is a great article and one of the reasons why I like SocialSpark where they value honest feedback and want a true review, not just a keyword or link hidden in a post. I have also earned as much as $250 from a single paid review on SocialSpark but only 5 opps in the past 12 months have actually netted me more than $100 for a single review because they are few and far between and your blog has to have stellar traffic to qualify for the big opps. The biggies like Chris Pirillo can make $1,500 for a single 300-500 word paid post from SocialSpark, I have seen it.
    • Hesham says:
      That's some nice rich information Justin! I have told you once that I want to jump in the SocialSpark as I have my account ready to go! but I still can not find the time, this is real problem I have to overcome! Thank you so much for sharing this information buddy, I really appreciate it!
      • Justin Germino says:
        They key to getting opps on SocialSpark is putting the ITK script on your blog and letting it soak for a month to track your visits. It ignores StumbleUpon and some other "poor sources" of traffic so it will show lower unique visits per day/week/month than Google Analytics so don't fret. This is the metric where your blog is measured and determines if you qualify for th big opps. SocialSpark is the only service I have seen where a blog with a low pagerank but high traffic can actually make some good earnings. Most services only care about high pagerank.
        • Hesham says:
          Great, one question need an answer plz! How about setting the rate? the suggested rate when I submitted FB is $5 , show I keep it for now till the tracking is fully done, or should I set it to my own rate?! Ah. OK, I got it.. it's setting the rate for $5 anyways! thanks buddy!
          • Justin Germino says:
            It will adjust the rate automatically as your blog IZEARank improves. My blog had an auto adjusted rate of $116 dollars per paid post at one point, which is too high I felt. So I had to manually lower it to like $50 per paid reviews. Note I only had 2 advertisers in 2 years purchase direct posts from my blogs and one was for my auto rate of $98 for a single post back in January of this year.
            • Hesham says:
              Thanks Justin, this is awesome! I have the ITK script on the blog now!
            • Jeet Dholakia says:
              Hello Sir, i am already there on Social Spark but not getting the opps. here you have mentioned about ITK script, can you tell me what is this? because i really don't have any idea on this.
