Sites That Pay You To Write Reviews [Paid/Sponsored Posts]

HBB’s first income source was a ‘sponsored review’. We got $20 (during 2009) for featuring a product (a software I guess) on our blog. It was a surprise for me, and I realized the concept of ‘paid blogging.’ Blogging is currently the most powerful medium to advertise something I guess; it’s permanent, and it can easily become viral.

In this article, we mentioned some of the best paid review sites we have personally used. You’ll be connected with relevant brands and advertisers. I always believe Blogging should be unbiased and should be targeted. If you are running a blog about ‘Gadgets’, then kindly don’t publish a sponsored post/review about a ‘Fashion’ product just because the brand is paying you good money. I’m sure $ matters a lot in Blogging, but you have plenty of ways to monetize by building a proper brand.

Note: Google is strictly against paid links or any unnatural links, so regardless of whether you are getting paid or not, it’s wise to be natural and unbiased in your reviews/articles. Write the post as if you are not getting paid for it, be honest.

  7. Writing for cash has become great source of generating passive income online but sometimes you can get really piss off because of the job owners choice. So the best thing to do is to set up a blog and write for yourself while you look for traffic and end it with monitization which can fetch you a steady income. More also these type of paid to write website can debase your page rank.

  15. I don't want to publish posts for reviews, etc, but I'd be okay with placing some LINKS only in return of money. PayPerPost helps with that… what about others? I'd not like to waste time joining a site and then come to know it only asks for review posts.

      • Now, even I ain’t much of an Oxford-English-Dictionary guy but all I can tell you is if the post would have been about 1 website then the title should have been :

        “1 Site That Pays You To Write Reviews”

        but if suppose it was about 2 websites then it should have been

        “2 Sites That Pay You To Write Reviews”

        When we are talking about one single thing then we use a verb which has an “s” at the end of it. While talking about multiple things, we use the verb as it is, without “s”. You can take my word on that. I’m positive.

    • These sites not only have to think about the publishers, but also the advertiser. So it’s understood bro, they won’t accept low PR sites.

  24. I'd worked with several paid post company before and earned a few bucks from there. After I knew that Google would penalized people who did it, and I just stopped doing it. Right now, I'm doing quite well with pay per click program such as Google Adsense, as well as selling banner ads.

    Anyway, thanks for sharing these paid post company.

    Regards,

  25. Good list. I’m still confused about using these sponsored reviews, whether to use it or not. When i try to use it, i gets a wrong feeling that i’m cheating my friends or i’m lying just for the sake of money. That;s why i stay away from them. Still i’m not against this, because it’s the most beneficial kind of advertising for both the advertiser and the blogger.

  26. Update a few things Pradeep, like blogsvertisiingstore.cm doesnt pay even after you reach your threshold so strike them out of your list (if you wish). You should Google and see what frauds they are, even cheated me of my $$$ and when you try to contact them they deactivate your account and send malicious codes to your site (through the code we install of theirs!).. just imagine, but luckily i had solved that problem sometime ago after coz social spark warned me! they even threatened my mom blogger friends who wrote against them! such cowards too..

    The Threshold amt for socialspark.com is now $50, earlier it was $20.. πŸ™‚

  39. The sponsored review market has actually gone downhill. Most good companies have backed out and now these sites are filled with cheap offers which are more interested in a link back (than an honest review).

  41. Nice article, I think this is really that helpful to most bloggers. But I think that if your blog is good enough, there are only two paid review sites you will need, they are reviewme.com and sponsoredreviews.com, the others are useless.

    Reply
  42. I think you have worked a lot to get this exhaustive list. By the way, have you done any such reviews? Which one of these have you been using?

    Reply
  43. its a really good list, contains all the major players in the paid review market, however, i must mention that google dosenot really likes paid posts, so any new blogger who wants to earn a quick buck from these, i would say that you will earn the money all right, maybe more than you expected to earn in the first place, but in the process you will also kill your blog… so proceed with caution πŸ™‚

    also, here’s a few tips to get into these, if you must…

    1) make sure to post atleast 20 posts in the last 2 weeks or so when you apply, regularly updated blogs get an advantage in getting into these networks…

    2) page rank of 3+ the more it is, the more you will earn, and a good alexa rank, will allow you to get into these quick, and you will also get more high paying review opportunities πŸ™‚

    3) do not put any banners of these on the sidebar of your blog, else the others won’t take you in…

  44. First, Google doesn’t like paid reviews. It can easily identify which one’s a paid review and which one is not (simultaneous backlinks to the review requester almost at the same time from many blogs could be the clue)
    Second, most of the above program offer X rated opportunities or something that is not allowed if you are using Ad programs like Adsense. So, you’ll be risking your account.
    Third, you could only be successful in this if you have a blog with at least a PR of 4 and above (PR 2 and 3 are ok too)

    • Oops. I guess you gave me a disclaimer bro.. πŸ™‚

      I agree with all the 3 points.. valid pts..

      But, many people prefer to write paid reviews (they ditch Google).. since it gives them instant huge payment.. and it is also possible to get good reviews! πŸ˜€

      Reply
    • I agree. I already have mentioned this. There are some other ways like freelancing sites where you can earn by posting reviews, there will be no problem.

  45. Hey Pradeep πŸ™‚
    i would like to add one more site
    Socialspark.com => It is an social network for all the bloggers where in bloggers can connect to each other and promote each others product through various ways like PPC , CPA
    There are also advertisers who keep a track on your blog and submit their product for review through sponsored posts if they are happy with your blog stats πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

      • Pradeep, I must tell you, PayPerPost and this type of services are very harmful to PageRank.
        There are lot of example where people loose their PR due to participating in these services. Reason behind this is :

        *You have to register your website in their database and you also have to insert a code in your page.

        *Google don’t LIKE these PPP sites, and when it finds the code in your page, it will give you negative points, thus you loose PR.
