Epinions

Epinions - http://www0.epinions.com/

Epinions is a website where people give their honest opinion about... pretty much anything. Movie, computers, toasters. The best thing about it is that if they don't like a product, they will let you know in now uncertain terms. Epinions discripes themselves like this:

Epinions helps people make informed buying decisions. It is a premier consumer reviews platform on the Web and a reliable source for valuable consumer insight, unbiased advice, in-depth product evaluations and personalized recommendations.

They way you make money with them is too write reviews. People then read them and rate your review. You then earn money based on a number of factors. How many people read your reviews, how many other people have written a review about the same thing.

You can find out more about it at their earnings FAQ. http://www0.epinions.com/help/faq/show_~faq_earnings#008

Epinions is a website that I have worked with off and on over the years and the only one on this list that I have. I've never actually hung around enough to get a check from them. You have to have at least $10 in your account for them to send a check. The money is not held forever, and you could lose (as I did) what monies you have built up.

The best thing with this website is write write write. The more reviews you have the more money you can make. Spend time learning to write well, and be able to get your point across. I'm not sure that I'm the best at this style of writing. I tend to ramble on and write like I'm sending a letter to a friend of mine. A lot of people seem to do more of an outline format.

You might want to read the reviews of the "Top Reviewer" and see what their style is long.
