Be an Incredible Reviewer and Make Money

Ever tried Affiliate Marketing? People say, it’s an amazing shortcut to get rich. Bull shit! You would get nothing wasting time in such useless things. Ask yourself a question. When was the time you bought something clicking on the link found on someone else’s blog? I am sure the answer would be never. Then, why do expect to people to do so?

Okay. Now affiliate marketing is out of question. My next question is when was the last time you bought a product or service after reading a review online. Maybe a couple of times, maybe more.

So, the number of people purchasing products online after reading review is higher than that in affiliate marketing. Now the choice is simple. Go for writing a review instead of affiliate marketing.

But how do you write an effective review. Don’t fret, here are some ways.

Buy the product and use it

Those who write reviews about any product without owning it are fake. One can never write a review without know what it actually is.

People write reviews based on sales copies or by rephrasing reviews written be other people. If you are one of them, you wouldn’t be trusted because if the product sucks, none of the readers will trust you. In fact, they will post bad, negative, or sometimes, insulting comments about you.

So, it is highly recommended to review the product or service after using it. And using doesn’t mean watching a demo or using a trial version. This wouldn’t help you to know the real drawbacks. Hence, write a review after using it for at least some months.

What should be included in your review?

Reviews aren’t interesting if you just mention about the features. Features can be availed from the product website or sales copy. People want to know whether it worth buying or not.

These are the common things that, I think, should not be neglected. Of course you can customize the structure of the review. This is just the basic one.

1. Overview:
   Answer the basic questions like what is the name of the product or service? What is it used for? Which company it represents? What is the product’s website?
2. Cost Price:
   Some reviews don’t mention the price and the people writing them are fools. Many times the review is very good and it induces the reader to buy it. However, the reader later finds that the price is way out of his/her budget, which eventually is quite disappointing. Remember, you write to help them, not disappoint them.
3. What is included:
   Mention all the things that comes along with the product or service. This would also include any discount or offers available on the purchase.
4. Positive points:
   Mention everything that you liked about the service or the product. You have to be honest here.
5. Negative points:
   Each product has some negative points or drawbacks. So, don’t treat them as idiotic people and ignore this point. To know the genuine drawbacks, you have to use the product. Also, listing down disadvantages will make your review look genuine and useful.
6. Conclusion:
   This would be the bottom line of the review. You could either rate the product out of five or ten, or suggest your reader to buy it or not. This is a quick liner or a decisive one.

Tell them the fact

You cannot just post a fake review and ask readers to get out of their house and buy it. As I mentioned earlier, they aren’t idiotic people. You cannot just say ‘the product is outstanding.’ You need to explain why it is outstanding.

Okay. You might think that reviewing honestly and mentioning the drawbacks will force people not to buy them. No. If you are honest, more people will buy the product. They know nothing is perfect.

Personal comments

Do not worry to add personal comments in your review. Don’t forget that it’s your review. You can either inform about the product in a descriptive way or put it as a story of your experience.

Lastly, furnish them a proper reason why are you reviewing it. Inform them that it has changed your life or made your work easy or just did nothing.

Reviewers, any suggestions? Did I miss out something?
