When starting a new project, like our product review site, we consider it very important to listen to what the community has to say. So here’s some feedback we’ve found on the net so far. When the Contributor Beta (which starts in early June) concludes, we’ll also ask the participants to complete a survey. Thank you for sharing your opinion and for helping us to build a service for you.
My in-laws even sent me an email congratulating us for the launch of the new site. And as if that was not enough, I received a nice flower arrangement from them today. Thank you very much!
Feedback by John Tokash:
The beta period begins next month, so for now I can only guess how this will pan out. It seems to be immune to some of the conflicts of interest that some other paid blogging services have, which should help readers trust the content. Meanwhile, it provides a way for bloggers with low page rank and low readership to be found and get ad revenue sooner. For me, the most interesting part of the SharedReviews promise is what they call “Review 2.0″. Each review will be wrapped with details about the reviewer – what that author has reviewed recently and a bunch of profile information meant to help readers understand the context of the review. Given a choice, I’m more likely to trust a fellow comic book fan’s review of Spider-Man 3, for instance.
Best wishes from John Keegan:
Cheers to Peter and Frank and the rest of their team! Best wishes for a great success!

I found this press release today about another opportunity to make some money online. From what I see, all you need to do is post your review on general consumer products. If your review is accepted, you will get paid. I have no idea how tough it is to have a review accepted. There have been sites like this before, where getting a review approved was next to impossible. But I just wanted to share this money making opportunity with you and let you decide if it’s something you can earn from.
SharedReviews.com allows contributers to submit reviews directly to the site, through APIs and plugins for many popular blogging platforms. These reviews are then monetised via SharedReviews.com through both advertising as well as content licensees looking to leverage the content within their own advertising networks. Any income that is generated is then split 50/50 with the community each month, with the author of the review getting 50% of this income and the community who voted on that review the rest.
This is not a paid to blog program but rather earn money from reviewing products and services featured in SharedReviews.com which was BETA launched just a few hours ago. One thing I must say is that their site is well developed and looks mighty awesome.
