Review Sites that Don't Require You to Have a Blog to Make Money
ReviewstreamUnlike most review sites, when you write a review on this website, you automatically get paid. You don't need to spend hours promoting your review. At the moment, the regular rate is $1.50; there is no explanation of the criteria to fulfil for getting this rate, but if you submit your reviews without checking the rate box, you might get lucky and get $1.50. If they don't accept your review at this price, they will let you know by email and you can re-submit your review and get the bulk rate of $0.3 (one fifth of the regular rate).
The minimum payout is $100 and they pay you via PayPal; if you get the low price, you will need to write 334 reviews in order to get paid, but the good news is that you can write on absolutely everything you can imagine. You also get an extra $0.1 anytime somebody rates your review so it might be worth advertising a little bit, make friends on the site, rate their reviews, get them to rate yours. I reckon there are possibilities there.
One disadvantage of working with Reviewstream is that you cannot submit the same reviews anywhere else, if you do you will get banned from the site, but they allow you to import a block directing people to your reviews on your blog or website.
Another downside is that the support department is practically nonexistent. I asked them a question that did not feature in their FAQs and they sent me an email telling me I should be more attentive and read the FAQs; also, after writing my first review, I never got the email telling me it had been published and I had to request my balance twice before they sent me the email containing the eagerly awaited information.
On the plus side, you don't have to rely on people buying the product reviewed to make money, so this is one of the websites where you can find truthful reviews.
This is a site I would use as a second resort to write lots of quick reviews about products that don't fit in other review sites.

I did not know about shared reviews. I appreciate it that you told me about it. I am greatful.

Thank you for this site. I found some sites that I didn't know about. I have to work from home, I take care of my elderly parents, and brother who has MS. I've already been ripped off by FROM HOME DATA ENTRY. They promise so much but in the end it was a scam. So now I'm looking again, this article is well informed, and provides a large amount of opportunites.
This was a wonderful article. It has given me a few places to check out. Thank you.
Great article! I'm with Reviewstream aside from being part of AC. Reviewstream is currently paying $2 per product review. I've only been with them less than a month and pulling in $100 already. Lovin' it. I've never heard of Shvoong but I'll give that a look. I've been trying to find a place that pays for book reviews up front instead of just PPV.
This is great as I am interested in getting into other types of online writing. I have a blog and am a new CP here on associated content but have a friend that does reviews on another site. While not all of the sites listed are for reviewing it is nice to see what appears to be unbiased reviews of said websites. Cheer!!
Several facts are now outdated but I enjoyed reading it and found some new sites so thanks!
Great article. Thanks
Epinions is terrible the advisors on there are nasty and cruel to writers and half of them need to grow up and stop with the nit picking and bullying. I submitted a review and I got a nasty public comment saying I needed to learn how to write a review, but to me what's the point of doing reviews if you can't speak your mind. It's pathetic that grown adults married or with children behave in such a despicable manner.
Two thumbs up, I have a close friend who raves about paid reviews and is always asking me why I don't give it a try. Simply put, I have been burned by many "paid to" sites offering payment for reviews or articles. Not many people will give an HONEST review of these sites so this is very much appreciated. Thanks again!

Reviewstream minimum payout is $50. And it was the same all the time I'm with them - more than a year.
It's seems you definitely "should be more attentive and read the FAQs" )
