If you want to know the EASIEST way to make money online try writing reviews. This how to article will steer you in the right direction when it comes to writing and actually getting paid decently. I have written reviews for Epinions, Ebay, and Amazon but have never received one payment from any of those so I removed my reviews from those sites and put them on my new favorite site comparedby.us. I figure, why write reviews for those other sites so that they can post paid ads alongside my words when I can get a paycheck from this new site? These sites do not pay forever but they sure do pay at least for the first few months. I made tons of money on a site called Ciao.com for the first 3 months but they have recently done away with paying per review. They usually warn you first so get all your reviews in while the site is in their first few months. That is the trick the pay scale is only temporary but I will update you so as soon as I find out a site is paying you'll find out and when a site stops paying I'll post that too.
How to start

Make sure you have a Paypal account prior to signing up with Comparedby.us. This is how they will be paying you monthly so you'll want to set this up before you begin. If you sell on Ebay you probably have a Paypal account already so you won't need another one.
Once you have signed up you should create your profile. You can upload a picture of yourself, choose your layout colors, and write a tagline.
Write your first review as soon as possible. You can pick just about anything to write about. People usually start out with a review on a movie because it is easy. In time you will want to write reviews on products that will get the most hits (page views). Those items will usually be electronics and the newer the better. My advice is to just write what you know about. I am no movie buff and though I have written a couple of movie reviews before, I find them to be boring to write. You'll want to write about something you know and like to talk about. In my case, the topic would be beauty products which is perfect because there is a section on just that. There is pretty much a section for just about anything and if there isn't you can request the product you'd like to review and if they approve it you will get 1st crack at writing the review for that item.
Once you get established go ahead and navigate your way around the site. It is a social community filled with a ton of nice people. You will receive friend requests right away. Go ahead and approve them all because you will need all the friends, support and advice you can get in the beginning. Please feel free to add me as well, my name on Comparedby.us is Rachel1919.
Some tips for writing reviews:
You can write 2 kinds of reviews, a quick review or a standard review which is 120 words or more. The difference between the 2 is the pay rate. I always write the full standard review. 120 words isn't really a lot to write, looks wise it equals one paragraph. This paragraph you are reading is 120 words long. You'll want to write a good review if you want to receive high ratings. Some people believe that longer is better but I personally think it is better to write quality rather than quantity. Another thing to keep in mind is to always write as if you are speaking to someone. It just helps the words flow faster and it makes for a more pleasant read.
Wanna know how much you get paid?
I am not an expert at Comparedby.us payment breakdown but I can tell you what I understand to be true from my experience. This is only an estimate however, it will give you an idea of what you can expect to be paid for your work. I wish someone had put this information out there for me to look over when I began. I was curious and skeptical at first because I have tried many sites that just didn't pan out. This site is a good one though and I can honestly say that I recommend it above all others. It reminds me of how I felt about Ebay in the beginning.
You will receive a payment from Comparedby.us directly into your Paypal account around the 15th of each month. The cash out minimum is $20.00 which you will easily make in the first day. Your pay will be totaled once every 24 hours. So if I wrote 8 reviews on Wednesday I would see that I made $8.00 + the extra activity such as views, ratings and referrals on Thursday morning. You can cash out everyday if you'd like as long as you have met the minimum payout. Comparedby.us keeps great records which you can check at anytime from your home page.
- Each review you write will earn you $1.00

~Here are my dos~
- Do make friends on the site, accept all friend requests in the beginning and if later on you decide to not have them as your friend you can always remove them.
- Do take the time to rate other people's reviews, it is what makes the site work.
- Do sign up your friends and family. Yes, you may refer people who live in the same household as you they just need to have a separate paypal account.
~Here are my don'ts~
- Don't participate in clicking cartels (you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours) You may run into members that will message you to let you know when they have written a new review and they will ask you to rate it then they'll return the favor. You can rate their review if you like but don't follow suit and message all of your friends like they did. This is against the rules and these people always end up getting booted off the site.
- Don't rate others based on tit-for-tat. If someone leaves you a "not helpful" rating you must resist the urge to retaliate the rating.
- Don't rate another person's review with a 1 or a 2 rating just because you don't like the product or don't agree with their opinion of the product. You are only supposed to rate reviews based on how thoroughly they described the item and how well they expressed "their" opinion. If you'd like to bash a product you should write your own review on that particular product. You can rate the product itself from 1 - 5 stars and express the qualms you have had with it there.
