Every time I watch a movie, eat at a new restaurant, or simply buy a product I haven't used before, I would always run a rating and a quick review in my head. Occasionally, I may say it out loud to somebody who may have eaten at the same restaurant or have watched the same movie. Well, to put it simply, I just love to review anything. I guess it has something to do with my obsession for other people's reviews and review sites offering to pay for your reviews.
Speaking of review sites, I have been writing reviews since last year at reviewstream.com and until now I still haven't reached their minimum payout, which is $50.00. I think I have written over 25 reviews already and my total earnings as of this time is not even half of the minimum. I have stopped writing reviews for them, since I think that it is not worth it. They pay $2.50 for each review, however, if the review you have written is not in demand, they will pay you the bulk rate, which would be $.50. So I was thinking, if all of my reviews are paid at bulk rate, I still need to write about 120 reviews to reach the minimum payout. So I say, forget about it!
So with my unfortunate event with reviewstream.com, I have decided to still continue writing reviews, not for other websites, but for myself. I don't care if nobody pays me for writing reviews in my own blog. I just want to get the word out to people who may find it useful. I have read a lot of other people's reviews, most especially if I am buying something online, and I really find their own experience and insights helpful in my own decision.
I hope that with this blog, I am able to provide details to anybody out there who's looking for honest and personal reviews. Keep in mind that my experience and my opinion may be entirely different from other people. The beauty of reviews online is that they are just out there to serve as guides and they never impose. In the end, it is still you who makes the final decision.
I will make sure to provide details but I may occasionally be ranting about how great a movie is or just simply complain about the worst service I receive. If ever that happens, please bear with me. If you have experienced the exact same reaction with mine, please feel free to rant in the comment box too. I completely love hearing opinions and comments from other people.
All in all, I am just excited to write reviews whether It rocks! or It flops!
