ReviewMe Review
By Donovan | November 11, 2006
The following is a paid review:
Bloggers are the new voice of advertising and ReviewMe is tapping into this fact by offering Bloggers the opportunity to earn money by writing about services and products. Unlike it’s main competitor PayPerPost, ReviewMe sets itself apart with two key distinctions; Reviewers must state that it is a paid post; the ad need not be a positive review. It is for those reasons that I have decided to write for ReviewMe on Become the Media.
ReviewMe arrived on my radar screen by way of the ubiquitous TechCrunch, an avalanche of coverage on Web 2.0 sites and services. Always on the lookout for a way to make money on the internet while maintaining my integrity, I saw the potential of ReviewMe right away. The fact that ReviewMe was giving away $25,000 as a grand opening incentive led to my immediate membership and this resulting article. You see, $30 of that $25K is going to be mine as soon as I pass the 200 word mark in this post.
Here’s a summary of how it works. I am a blogger. I sign up as a Reviewer at ReviewMe. Then, after logging in, I can choose to accept new review offers by Advertisers. For instance, immediately after signing up, I was offered the opportunity to review ReviewMe. For my efforts, I would make $30. I was given 48 hours after accepting the offer to create this post and I need to make sure that I login to their site and provide the URL so that I can properly sign off on the task.
The ReviewMe site is pleasant to look at, it’s well organized and becoming a paid Blogger is drop dead easy. I’m excited about this new model of advertising. The bottom line for me is that I believe in the up-front requirement to state that this post is an advertisement and that I’m being paid to write it. However, if I were forced to only write a good review, then I wouldn’t participate. That’s why you won’t find me blogging for PayPerPost. You will see many more posts on Become the Media that are paid advertisements for ReviewMe, however.
