Wey hey! review blog taking off!

So i started a review blog a while back. In the last 30 days it has made $444.52 USD. This, at the time of writing, equates to $618.25 AUD. This is totally profit as i do not pay for any traffic to the blog. It almost pays my rent!

Oh look at that, as i was writing i just made another sale for $16.56. For a product ive never made a sale in too wtf. rad.

Anyway, it took a little bit of time and a i went thru a bit of drama with one particular post, but now i am reaping the rewards.

Review blogs are EASY.

You might be thinking that i just write up any old crap about a product and post it, well you’re wrong. I think the secret to a good review blog is to have plenty of negative reviews too. So _buy_ the product or even ask for a review copy so you can _actually review_ the thing.  If someone visits your site and checks out a few reviews and they are all beamingly positive 5 star reviews then i dunno about you, but i would probably think its all a load of crap.

I will continue to write up reviews for things and keep building the site up. Hopefully within a few months it can actually totally cover my rent and then some! What do you think might happen if i have a couple of these running? Hmmm.

Good.

Too bad you didn’t place a link to your site. I’m here for the first time and can’t even look at it.

Ok, I’m gonna find it in other posts.
Cheers,

Review blogs are alwasy easy, and users like review blogs, because its packed with needed information

That is the key with a review blog. If all the reviews are glowing, odds are they are just nothing but paid links and worthless. Getting an actual review of a product or service that helps a reader will reap rewards in the long run. Congrats on your success.

Soo .. what’s your secret ? Almost 450$ in a month is indeed impressive. Unfortunately, from my experience quality content is not enough to earn that kind of money from a blog! Maybe I was doing something wrong, but apart from a small group of faithful readers, I gained nothing substantial from it..

Thats great, I would love to hear more about how you achieved this. I think i’m not alone, i know a lot of people would like to make that much a month, it would really help out.

Negative reviews can be made. But the secret to make a blog successful is to focus on the better part rather than making negative comments. Angeline @ Marcus evans scam
