SharedReviews is a social network that allows you to connect with other consumers to share and learn about real consumer product experiences. Our ambition is to provide a resource to educate consumers about products; educate them with reviews created by other consumers.

The concept is designed to keep money in your pocket by equipping you with accurate product information that can help you make wise purchasing decisions -- but it doesn't stop there. It's also designed to put money in your pocket, by allowing you to recoup some of what you spent.

Recoup you say?

SharedReviews is built around the experiences of our community. We collect those experiences and share them with other sites that want to tap into the thoughts of everyday people with real opinions about actual products. In other words, by leveraging those experiences on the Internet, we're able to create actual monetary value around what you have to say that allows us to offer financial rewards to our top contributors.

How does this work?

SharedReviews is built on the simple idea that community comes first. Our community members are so important that not only do we offer a chance to earn a portion of financial rewards we allocate to the community each month, that amount is determined by how much effort they put into getting involved with SharedReviews by voting, socializing, and promoting their reviews on other sites.

Step 1: Create your Profile

Your profile is who you are, and although privacy is of the utmost importance, we encourage you to share the basic facts of your life, such as how many kids you have, what you do for a living, where you're located, how much you earn, and other factors that allow readers to understand not only the experience you are sharing, but what type of person you are so they can better empathize with you as a person, thus making your reviews more tangible and more valuable.

Step 2: Create Reviews

Review anything that you'd like from any one of our categories. Remember that the "tone" of your review is important, try to make it as enriching as possible. Imagine telling your best friend about a new product you bought, whether you love or hate it, that's what will garner you the most value for sharing your thoughts. Don't forget rich media! Real photos you've taken and videos you've recorded as well as custom insights you can share such as your own feature ratings make your reviews stand out.

Step 3: Socialize and Promote

The more friends you have in the community, the more likely it is that members will vote when you post a review. Those votes combined with how much traffic your review sees from other sites translates into a higher ranking for your review in a category at the end of the month. The higher your review ranks, the larger the percentage you could earn of the financial rewards we offer the community each month.

Not only can it be rewarding and fun to connect with your fellow consumers both in and out of the SharedReviews Community, those relationships will also increase your chances at earning financial rewards.

Step 4: Cast your votes

Voting is at the center of how cash rewards are allocated to reviews, but it's also how we reward those who are willing to go beyond creating reviews to fuel the SharedReviews engine. Everyone who votes on a review that earns financial rewards also earns a portion of that reward as well.

For example, if a review acquires $20 one month for the amount of votes and traffic it received, $10 of that is split between all the voters (Check out our diagram of how it works below). With only three little rules to remember when placing your votes, you can end up sharing in the rewards of 100s of reviews.

Voting Rule #1

You have a limited number of votes to cast in each category per month. The number of votes is determined by your ShareScore which ranks you on how much you involve yourself in the community.

Voting Rule #2

For obvious reasons, you can't vote for your own review.

Voting Rule #3

You can only vote for a particular review once, ever.

Step 5: Earn Real Cash Rewards

Each month, we allocate a certain amount of real cash for our community in order to reward their contributions. This can vary from one or two thousand to much, much more depending on the programs, incentives, and sponsors we have in a given month. We always announce at the beginning of a given month how much will be given to the community and what the incetives are so you know what you're working towards before you even start.
