There are sites, like Amazon that allows members to leave opinions for products that they’ve actually tried. You can rate the items, list all their pros and cons and leave a detailed summary of your experiences. This information goes a long way in helping other potential customers make up their minds to spend their money.

I cannot tell you enough how this information really helps me everytime I look to make a purchase online. Before I buy anything anywhere, I usually do a quick Google to see if i can find reviews about different products or services.  I especially find the negative reviews most helpful cause they tend to give me the worst case scenario.

So how do you get paid for sharing your opinions?

Reviews, good and bad, tend to get  product and services more attention. They come up more often in searches. More and more people talk and share their opinions. Even bad reviews help in their own way in getting a particular item some attention. For example, there are people who will buy items with poor reviews and try them out for the lulz.

There are many companies that rely on affiliates, marketers and publicists who describe and review their products. Although it may help get consumers excites about making impulsive purchases, it does little in protecting the consumer from making poor purchase decisions. Moreover, when consumers are out shopping for(let’s say) a camera things can get very confusing quickly. There are dozens of different models and features under the same brand name, hundreds of different brands and  prices that can range, between the lowest and the highest price, by thousands of dollars. What some affiliate or marketer has to say really loose all meaning and significance at this point.

That’s where the opinion of everyday consumers come in.  Everyday people are not shy about sharing their opinions about products and services. However, they  may just be a bit lazy.  And what gets people moving are these little incentives offered by sites, like Ciao, to motivate individuals to  share their experiences.

Many different online retail sites offer cash, prizes, sweepstakes, points that can be earned or redeems by users of the site when they post a review. What makes this system unique to an affiliate program is that you are rewarded for both good and bad reviews. It doesn’t matter how much you love or hate a product, just as long as you type an honest review. A review coming from an everyday person is quite different. They tend to be raw, unrefined, emotional…REAL. Just the thing a potential customer would find useful.

 You will see reviews where people are talking about how they love their new laptop so much that they take it to bed and sleep next to it every night. On the flip side, you may read about some guy who bought a  new electric shaver that nicked and cut his face to the point where he got fed up, took his new shaver, and preceded to make a 3 pointer with the item into a dumpster.

 It’s all fun to read and write, especially if you are typing about an item that you hate with a passion. It’s almost like getting some revenge when you are in a position where you may not be able to get your money back.  It’s true, more people  will turn out to give a bad review than individuals who will take the time to share a good review. You can usually tell when someone is just overly bitter and malicious or when someone is justvery disappointed with something they bought.  Malicious people tend to write shorter reviews that don’t give any details as to why they are upset.  Most malicious reviews are by people who never even tried the product or service in question. If you are reading reviews, please be careful about how you absorb and take negative reviews into consideration.

Tips for sharing opinion for cash?

1. Actually try the product-Please that this seriously. The information you share can make or break a product.  It also can help or confuse others looking for help when making up their mind. Try the product. Give it a very good and fair shot. Use the item for a few weeks at least. Get accustom and familiar with how the item works. There are people who try a product and then rush to say something good or bad. Usually with time, their opinions may take a complete 180. If your opinions change, please try to go back and do an update.
2. Write a review items that have never been reviewed-Be the first to share an opinion! There may be bonus points, cash or rewards for doing this.
3. Be Fair- It doesn’t matter if you just LOVE LOVE LOVE an item or hate an item with a passion. Find  both pros and cons to talk about.  if you hate an  item but love how it was packaged, fine. Talk a bit about how you liked the packaging. If you love your item but are disappointed that the item didn’t come in your favourite colour, then share that info too. You never know who will be reading your reviews. Product developers may get some great feedback from your opinion and then turn around and make something bigger and better.
4. Be as detailed as possible- I’m not telling you to go out and write a novel  but give more than just a few lines.  At least a paragraph with about 5-10 sentences would suffice. Many different programs only reward you if other people appreciate your reviews.  So your earnings are dependent on the opinions of others who will read your reviews. So, if you write crap, other members will not delay in either giving your opinion a negative review or even reporting your reviews on some type on violation.
5. Rate the reviews of other member-If  you expect people to  rate you, you should feel obliged to do the same. Most of these opinion sites only allow members to earn if their opinions are rated by others.
6. Avoid Spamming and Trolling- Some people are eager to earn as much as possible as soon as possible. These individuals may be tempted to spend hours writing dozens , if not hundreds, of reviews daily. With every turn, people will see your member name and your reviews. This will annoy other members who may specifically avoid rating your reviews or even report you as spam.  Do no more than 2 reviews a day.  Give others a turn to write a review first.
7.   Have Fun- You are not going to get rich from doing this. Individuals who take these “paid to post” programs  seriously may earn about $5-50 dollars a month but keep in mind, that these people are also making plenty of purchases and their expenses do not get recouped. There is no point is going out and buying an item just so that you have something to make a review about.  These review programs are similar to cash back rewards programs that give you money back for buying stuff you already want and need.

 Here are some programs you should try:

Ciao- A great online-shopping initially based in Europe.  Members can shop and earn extra cash by either reviews, filling out surveys or referring friends. If you decide to write be an author, keep in mind that other members can rate your review as either “helpful”, “very helpful” or “exceptional”. The higher the rating, the more you earn. Depending on consumer interest in a particular category, Ciao determines payout based on which categories have the greatest financial importance. Reviewers earn 0.5p per rating, 1p per rating or 2p per rating and the best authors can share a £2000 premium fund each month.

Dooyoo- This is Ciao’s main competitor. It’s another European based online store that rewards members for writing reviews. There are members who will copy and paste their reviews from Ciao to Dooyoo and vice versa. That way, members of both sites can get paid twice. You are rewarded for your efforts in dooyooMiles which can be redeemed for cash. Every quality review will net you 500 dooyooMiles and you also receive 15 more dooyoooMiles for every person that reads your reviews. You earn £1 for every 1000 dooyooMiles and 3p for every 30 dooyooMiles. DooyooMiles do eventually expire in 12months from the date they were earned. So if you are the type of person that start a program and then forget about it for months, you would be doing yourself a disservice. Stay on top of this program. Participate and be sure to cash out every chance you get.

Epinion- Finally, a program for Americans! You can earn with Eroyalties through an “income share” program. A revenue share pool is split among all authors based on how often reviews led to a purchase being made. The exact “formula” for how they determin earnings is not disclosed, for what ever reason.  but items with high demand for information tend to get priority.  The best ways to earn are by  making quality reviews, focus on rating other member’s reviews,  and develop a strong “Web of Trust” and reputation with the Epinion community.

Reviewblue- Are you a Canadian resident? If you are, you can earn $5 for every approved restaurant and accommodation review. All you have to do is register,  write at least a 75 word review,  and send in a copy of your receipt.

So what are you playing?

Poker! And what’s even better is that you will be playing with other people all around the world. So, you are not playing against a program. You can actually chat with other players at your table.  What’s even better about this site is that there are actual tournaments that you can participate in for major cash prizes.

What are you waiting for Join Already?

I can hear some of you say, “but HonEB, I don’t know how to play poker very wellL.” Well, you don’t have to be a major professional to play. In fact, you can learn how to play with some play money and learn through playing against other up in coming player just like you. When you are ready, deposited up to $500 and you will receive another $500 to play.

You still haven’t joined yet?

Oh boy. I still hear some of you asking “but HonEB, isn’t poker gambling?” Yes, it is a form of gambling but no more a form of gambling then day trading in the forex or stock market.  One great thing about poker is that you are not just playing with solely luck. Poker is a game of probability, money management and sentiment analysis. Just like investing, no one can be 100% sure they have picked a winning play, but one can push the odds in their favour with different strategies and techniques. There is no way I can teach you everything you need to know but I can  point out of stuff to take into consideration before you start playing with real money.

1. Understand Probability- each poker hand are ranked in accordance to a system. The player with the highest ranked hand wins the pot.  Probability plays into the game when players understand the odds or the likelihood that they have the highest hand and analyze the likelihood that the other players at the table may have a hand that will beat theirs. The fewer players playing for a pot, the higher the chances of winning for each player still left at the showdown.
2. Money Management- This is the most important aspect of playing poker yet so many people take it for granted. You can’t play once you run out of chips. And once you are out of chips, there is no chance of winning a game. So you need to self preserve and have enough money and bet wisely in order to stay in the game as long as possible. The best plays  know how to be patient and wear down the other players who are too greedy and want to risk big in order to win big.  If you are patient, you can rule the game by watching the other players grasping at what little chips they have left to play. At that point, they become easy pickings. But let’s say you are a little aggressive and you don’t mind risking big to rattle the cages of the other, more conservative,e players.  It’s important that you recognize when it’s time to go into self preservation mode.  When investing, it’s usually recommended that you never risk more than 3-5% of your principle on any given investment. This rule can work just as well for poker. If you have $100 to play with then you shouldn’t risk more than $3-$5 for an entire round(betting taking place up till the last round of betting after the river card is presented).  Money management can be tricky  with “no limit” hold’em and especially with players who are wild and crazy with their betting. And with each hand you play, your strategy may change and so will the strategy of the other players. So it’s always important to keep an eye on your money while you are looking at taking away money from the other players at your table.
3. Sentiment analysis- Analyzing the emotional atmosphere at the table once the dealer reveals the flop,  turn and river cards.  It’s the same type of analysis that takes place when studying the market fundamental reports and predicting how other investors will respond to the news. You are trying to look out for “tells” of other players while trying to disguise your own. Body language, tone of voice, betting habits, gestures… subtle cues that can be exploited and determine how a player may respond to a specific move you make. The longer a game runs for, the more worn out players become and the hardest it becomes to cover up “tells”. It becomes harder to analyze sentiment when we talk about playing online where all you have to go on are avatars, text comments and betting habits. But there is usually enough there for you to pick up on and still have a great game of wits.

 There are many other stuff to think about and there are plenty of online resources to help you learn the basics and more advanced tips and tricks for being a great poker player. But  I want you to keep in mind that people play differently when they are playing with real money. Aggressive players  in “play money” games turn into little pussy cats when it’s their real dollars on the line.  I personally  tend to play “fixed limit” when I play with “play money” and I’m a little more comfortable playing “no limit” when real money is involved.

iIf you choose to play with real money, then always play with money you can afford to lose. For me, that’s $5.00. And once that money is gone, I am playing with “play money” to build my confidence, my strategy and my skills. And before I join a table, I take a moment to see how the players at the table are playing. I analyze the sentiment as best as I can. I’m a fairly conservative player and I tend to avoid tables full of aggressive players who are making wild bets and going “All- In” in almost every round.

On a final note, don’t take poker too seriously. Try and have some fun; even if you are losing your shirt. There are people who take it personally when they lose and there are those who get too cocky when they win big. It’s only a game and things change in an instant. One minute you are on top and the next moment you are out of the game. There are also people who can get “addicted” to gambling.  And that is totally a behavioural thing. There are individuals “addicted” to games like World Of Warcraft and Second Life, believe it or not.  When I say, “don’t take poker too seriously,” I truly mean it.  Play no more than once or twice a week for no more than 3hours. Win or lose, walk away from the table after 3hours. Show some disapline. Don’t allow the game to control you.

Get some sun.

 Enjoy life.

I’ve spent years trying to find a ways to make some extra cash and this is, by far, one of the best finds I have up to day. So, you will have to be assertive, confident, focused to become successful. This is a MLM System that is actually made up of other mlm programs. If you’ve been reading through my post you may have stumbled upon the entry MLM: Try It Or Avoid It Over . I mentioned that 90% of affiliate marketers fail for a reason. Most only focus on their earning  potential and not on what it will take to make anywhere between $2500-$10 000+ in residual income.

Don’t bother wasting your time if you think that you will get rich without a bit of work.  There are people in this program going door to door and many getting 100 doors slammed in their faces a day before they get a potential lead. So it can be discouraging initially but all it takes is 1 good lead. It takes only 1 person who says “YES! I want to get involved and im willing to do what ever it takes to be successful,” for your business to take off exponentially.

I did say that this At Home Based Business was easy to set up and I mean it. there are a few  hours of video walking you through step by step of what you need to do. The program itself  intigrates, manages and organizes everything for you so there is no mess and no fuss.

How does it Works?

Your new home based business allows you to be come an affiliate with multiple web based business and companies who are willing to pay you commission to introduce others to their products and services. Where this system really starts to ramp things up is by combining  all these affiliate programs into a MLM system where you get others to join the system, sign up for all these affiliate program and start up their own money making venture.  Many of your referrals will like the different product and actually buy additional products and services (in which you get the comission) and if your referrals are committed to developing financial freedom, they will refer others to this program, building your downline and expanding the limits to you stream of residual income.

There may very well be a point in which your business maintains itself. A point where you do not have to lift a finger to get more referral. a point where you actually generate money every moment of the day and even while you sleep. Short of  investing your money into  bonds, stocks, bank savings… generating income has never been  so hands free and simple. But just like investing, you have to make the right choice. You have to be willing to invest either a little bit of your own money and/or a little bit of your own time. You have to be committed for the long hall and be patient.

You can participate in this  Work At Home Business absolutely free. But keep in mind that this will limit your income earning potential and make it harder for you, overall, to build your downline. Like I said above, some of the affiliate programs and tools require only a monthly subscription of as little as $10/mo. So there is very little excuse for not spending so little to set up a business on the web.

You also are given banners and referral links that you can attach to any website or blog. Now you can monetize your online webpages and social accounts while building leads at the same time.

How does this site calculate what you make? Well, that’s what I’m still working on trying to understand. I was going through the FAQs and there are simply claims that they base their payouts for discussion activity on some type of “proprietary model”. This would normally raise some red  flags with me but i do know people who have been paid for their activity. All in all, this site is free and you dont need to spend any money on upgrades to able to make more money.  Also, there is aa huge community full of people who are mostly there to socialize. You can make friends, find potential leads if you are working on building a business and just spend time helping others.

So, IMO, its worth it to sign up. Dont expect to make it rich. But try it out, get your friends to join and have some fun.

 It’s true. There are plenty of opportunities online!!! Have a lot of friends and family? Do you want a place to share videos, photos, your opinions? Then you probably already know about sites like FaceBook, MySpace, Yahoo Messenger, and YouTube…

Have you ever thought about how much ad revenue these websites bring in? There are reports that MySpace earned $495 million in 2008 with 70 million viewers and users. In 2008, YouTube brought in 200 million in revenue for themselves. Now that is some serious change these companies are earning just because you decided to do all of your socializing with them.

So, what if there was a company that shared some of its revenue with you? Sounds like a good deal, considering the fact that you are the one doing all of the work requires to bring in all that money! Without you there is no YouTube, MySpace, FaceBook… So, it is refreshing to see a company that is willing to give its users a little something back for their efforts.
