Get Paid to Review

If you have a flair with words, don’t put your talent to waste. You could turn it into an opportunity to earn an income, and one way to do it would be by writing reviews for various products and getting paid for it. I am listing some sites which will actually pay you to write reviews on products, books, movies, websites and much more.

Vindale
This site, also brands itself as a “Get Paid to Review” site, its different from others listed here, in that it’s more of a cash back/rewards program than a straight paid review site. 

You are rewarded with cash for shopping online through their site, then coming back and answering a quick survey about the product you bought. You can expect up to $75 for reviews you give. 

They also have paid surveys you can take. It’s great to use for those times when you are going to buy something anyway. Instead of just going to some other website and buying the product, buy it through Vindale, use it for a few weeks, come back and take a short survey and get paid for it.

User Testing
This is one of the few sites where you get paid to review websites. Basically, website owners go to them to use their panel of reviewers to test their website on different levels (user friendliness and things of that nature). 

You will have to visit the website, spend sometime looking around, performing searches, navigating through the site, etc. You get $10 for every website you review. Website: UserTesting

Doyoo.co.uk
On dooyoo.co.uk, you get paid when you review products and services after using them. Based on your first hand experience, your reviews will help others decide before purchasing a particular product. 

How it works is that you earn dooyooMiles when you write the reviews. DooyooMiles can be turned into cash, vouchers or be donated to a charity of your choice. Website: Doyoo.co.uk

Shvoong

Shvoong is the place to find summaries and reviews about almost everything. It is a great review website for those who love reading because you get paid to write summaries and reviews of books, articles, newspapers, academic papers and websites. They like shorter articles (under 1000 words), so the readers quickly get the gist of the reviewed item. You can collect your payment on the fifth day of the month when it reaches $10 in your account. Website: Shvoong
