*100% NOT a sponsored post**
Now, we know paid posts or opinions whatever you choose to call it is detrimental to your Google PR. Many do not write sponsored posts for plenty of reason. Some think it will jeopardize their blog credibility, some might not want to savour Google’s wrath. Either way, you are right. You have every right to make your own decision for your blog.
For those who like to earn a little side income and not offend your readers or Big G, there is an alternative. You can write your opinions for SharedReviews and get compensated for it. It is completely legal and it does NOT violate Google’s TOS. No worries there.
How is it possible?
When you write for SharedReviews, you do not write and post your opinion on your blog. You post your opinion on their blog. There is no link. Absolutely no link necessary and all you have to do is write about your opinion on products you have used. Any company. You can share your opinions on anything from books, gadgets, phones, computers to makeup. It is totally your call. Just write the pros and cons and share your product experience.
Great… I can now be on my way to be the next blogging big shot…
Not exactly. SharedReviews pay you $2 for every approved opinion. Each opinion requires min 750 characters. (Don’t worry, it’s not words.) So, it’s not something long and $2 is fair. The company will pay you for every 5 approved opinions. You don’t get paid per post basis, you get paid $10 for every 5 approved posts on your account. At the moment SharedReviews is still on Beta stage. The maximum an individual can earn per month is $150. That’s the maximum limit.
Geez, that’s chicken feed…
Well, if you are a well established paid post writer, or one who commands $100 per post, this program is NOT for you. Honest. I’m not being nasty, I’m just pointing the obvious. This program is suited for folks who likes to share their opinions and get compensated with a little side income. There are different programs suited for different people. SharedReviews just work like such and therefore whether it is your kind of program, you make the call.
How do SharedReviews make their money?
Like I said, they are still in Beta stage and I cannot tell you anymore than what is written on their site. It is better you hear it from the horse mouth. If you want to know more, you can read it here.
This is NOT a sponsored post. If you think this program works for you and you don’t mind a little side income coming your way, sign-up here for free.
What do I get out of this?
A little brownie referral points. That’s it. 
The thing is, don’t wait too long until they come out of their Beta stage. Things might change then, OK?

At first glance, I thought it’s something interesting but on further reading I tend to agree with you it may not be enticing enough for those who blog for bigger sums. But it’s up to each individual to decide whether SharedReviews is worth looking into. If one is a beginner and can write pretty well, maybe this is a stepping stone before venturing into bigger opportunities. But that’s a good post to share with others. BTW, I’m new around here.
Ya.. like you say the amount is quite pitiful. I signed up before they launched their beta many moons ago thinking it will be something good, but i was a little disappointed.
@nickelblue,
Why don’t you try other methods for making a few bucks rather than use the dirty tactic that you are using now. The only thing you are earning is disgust from all the blogs that you have shitted in.
This is definitely a different take on paid reviews. I’ll sign up and see what comes after the beta. Thanks!
