Blog Reviews Make Good Money
Believe it or not, sponsored blog reviews earn you good money.
I know, because I do.
Following my post on Blogging For Money, I would now like to share where I go to get sponsored review assignments. (For those not in the know, sponsored reviews are assignments where you are commissioned by a 3rd party to write about their products/services/websites.)
Now, this is actually a very valuable post because I am sharing my actual experiences and sources from where I obtain assignments worth up to thousands of dollars. You will not see many internet marketers out there being so sharing. I hope you learn from my sharing and benefit through it. By subscribing to my blog and dropping me a nice comment that will be ample thanks for me. 
Anyway, back to the topic.
There are actually several networks which match make reviewees (those who want their products reviewed) and reviewers (those who review products). I’ve been to all of them and from my experience, I can tell you that only two of these networks are truly worth your time.
Before I divulge which ones they are, I want to talk about how these networks work and how much you can expect to earn from each assignment.
How Blog Review Networks Work
Generally a product/service/website owner wants to generate publicity and word-of-mouth for their product, and they subscribe to the belief that the best way is to get blogs talking about it. So instead of approaching blogs one by one, they subscribe to a Blog Review network where there are hundreds of assignment-hungry blogs waiting to snap up the opportunity and post their opportunity.
On the other hand, bloggers who want to earn extra income through reviewing a product sign up with a Blog Review network and register their blogs. They will often be asked to classify their blogs under the appropriate categories.
Whenever there is somebody interested to have his product reviewed, he can then either look through the Blog Review network’s database to look for suitable candidates to review his product, or he can put up an assignment classified and let bloggers bid for his assignment.
How Much Does Each Review Pay?
Generally sponsored reviews can pay as little as a few bucks to as much as a few thousand dollars. Yes, a few thousand dollars!
From my experience, this depends on 3 factors.
1) the network you are subscribed to
Unfortunately not all networks are built equal. Some networks serve really low value assignments in the below ten bucks range while some other networks serve assignments worth up to a few thousand dollars.
2) the popularity of your blog and your web traffic credentials
If your blog enjoys high traffic, it means that the review will be read by many people, which translates to more potential word-of-mouth and sales for the customer. You can command a higher fee for your assignments then.
3) the niche your blog is catering to
Certain niches tend to believe in sponsored reviews more and thus tend to pay higher rates. If you are in the right niche, your assignments can be worth a lot of money.
In my next post, I will spill the beans on my 2 favorite Blog Review networks with which I have consistently earned hundreds of dollars (sometimes up to a thousand) per week. Stay tuned till then!

Hello and thank you so much for sharing this valuable information with us. I do not take it for granted when guys who know what they are doing share “inside tips”. I am fairly new to blogging so if you see my site and can offer any feedback that would be great. Thanks again.
Hi Pierre,
Thanks for visiting my blog and for your kind words.
I have visited your site and read your articles and I would give you some comments for your perusal.
1. The articles are clear and easy to understand, so that’s good.
2. I would take away the Adsense ads because it makes your site look like a spam site. If you are serious about making money through blogging, then you should take away the ads because there are many other better ways to monetize. If you must have ads, then you probably should get a better blog theme that organizes ads better.
3. You currently have an ‘uncategorized’ section which you should check.
4. You have product reviews currently that are not related to your blogging theme. I strongly advise against that because you will lose creditability. If you must have product reviews, do it in a blog related to the product review for the best results.
I hope these help.
Kind regards,
Aldric
Very intersting – will stay tuned in to find out more.
[...] Review Networks That Pay Well A couple of posts back, I promised to give you the secret of where I go to get my sponsored review assignments that pay up [...]
hi, i found your banner in techxav and I became curious that’s why I clicked it
Actually, I’ve signed up in different Blog Review Networks for a few months already and I don’t get a lot of money from it. Maybe because my blog has a low traffic. I’m just curious.. do you really earn hundreds of dollars per week? That’s a dream for me!! You are so great!!
Hello. Just to be clear, good opportunities don’t come every week. Near holiday seasons or special occasions there are better paying sponsors. I don’t consistently get hundreds of dollars through blogging every week because some weeks are good and some weeks are bad but if you average it out or 12 months that’s a ‘yes’.
