Blog Reviews - How to Make Money Doing Sponsored Reviews

Believe it or not, sponsored reviews earn you good money.

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.

So how much does each review assignment 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.

Blog reviews can be very financially rewarding if you do the right thing. Bearing in mind the above 3 factors, you will be able to make decent money through blogging.
