Understand the Opportunities
People worldwide are spending more and more money on the Internet.
“In 2016, global B2C (business-to-consumer) e-commerce sales are expected to reach 1.92 trillion U.S. dollars.” Source: Statista.com
The quote means that individual consumers are using $1,920,000,000,000 only in 2016. The number is rising every single year.
In 2018, consumers are expected to use 2,36 trillion U.S. dollars on the Internet!
The growth is literally huge. There has never been this kind of business opportunities in the world’s history.
People Are Seeking the Products to Buy
The huge numbers that we saw before mean that the hundreds of millions of people are searching and buying products from the Internet.
Remember, many of them don’t know what they are going to buy when they go online. First, they are searching for the reviews and other people’s opinions about the products.
Nowadays people don’t buy blindly. They want to read the product reviews.
Before buying a smartphone the person can search from the Internet “What is the best smartphone for $200.”
People are searching reviews for
- Tablets
- Kitchen tables
- Protein drinks
- Beds
- Foam rollers
- Speakers
- Smartphone accessories
- Dog collars
- Etc. Etc.
In the other words, people are searching everything from the Internet.
Meanwhile, thousands (or probably millions) companies are trying to sell their products. The same companies are at the same time eagerly trying to find people who would like to promote the products.
That’s your opportunity!
You can write the review of their products. Then leave the link to the company’s website.
Then someone is trying to find the product from the Internet, your website pops up and gives him the final push before he buys the product. Then he goes to the company’s website, buys the product and you earn the commission (which can be even $1,400!)
Write the Review -> Someone Finds It -> You Earn Money
Let me give you the simple example how you can earn money by writing a simple review of the smartphone.
I am going to buy a new smartphone very soon and I am planning to pay approximately $200. Before buying, I want to know which one of the $200 phones is the best.
I will write in Google “What is the best smartphone for $200”. Then I will read some reviews of $200 phones and decide which one I will buy.
Let’s imagine that you had written the review about Huawei Honor 5X and your text convinces me, so I decide to buy it. I click your link at the end of your review and order my new Huawei Honor 5X.
Guess who earns the commission? You!
Don’t think that it would be too complicated to put the links. For example, if you click that link “Huawei Honor 5X above and end up buying anything from Amazon, I earn the commission.
“Can I Write the Reviews of the Products That I didn’t Buy?”
Yes you can!
This can be surprising but it’s true. For example, I didn’t buy Mobile Monopoly 2 but I still wrote a review about it. How is it possible?
I made the little research and saw that the product is not worth buying because I saw many people’s bad experiences with the product. If I am not willing to buy it I definitely don’t recommend it to you.
Still my review can be very useful for you. You don’t need to make the same research as I did. You don’t need to use many hours on the Internet studying people’s experiences with this product because I made it for you.
The same applies to the reviews that you can write. You can search people’s experiences about the products and then write the review and make money.
You Can Choose Your Passion
As we talked before, people are searching and buying everything from the Internet nowadays. That means that you can write the reviews about literally everything.
What is your hobby?
What do you love doing?
Which products do you like?
What subject is interesting for you?
Think about these questions and decide which subject do you want to choose. You can be sure that there are affiliate programs for every subject you can name.
It means that you can always find the products to promote.
Write the Reviews. Honestly.
You may be thinking, “Hmmm… if I need to write reviews that encourage people to buy the products, do I need to be dishonest to sell the products better?”
NO! You don’t need to be dishonest.
No one will like you if you write the dishonest reviews. But if you sincerely help people to find the products that they are looking for, they will like you more and they will eventually buy more.
“How can I sell anything if I need to tell the pros and cons honestly?”
Everyone of us knows that there is no a perfect product (or if you have a perfect product, you will make lots of money!) Think about the products that you are using. Your smartphone, your laptop, your bed, your table, your chairs and so on.
They are not perfect. There are pros and cons in every product.
Even though many of the products I am using are not perfect I can still recommend them for the others.
For example, there is a very good price/quality ratio in my laptop. I believe that many people would like to buy the same laptop. I could write the review and earn some commissions.
Be a Friend!
I am not the professional with the smartphones. I know how to use them but I don’t know too much about little technical stuff. Still I could write you a review and probably you would get some benefit. You would know if the phone is working well or not.
Are you asking your friends when you are about to buy something? I know that many people ask opinions from their friends and so do I.
We appreciate our friends’ opinions and the same applies when you are writing reviews. You don’t need to know all the details perfectly but you can just describe your own experiences.
People are interested in your experiences when they are about to buy the same product.
Write Bad Reviews!
What?
I mean that you can also write the reviews of the products that you don’t like and they will make you more money. How?
Let’s say that you write the reviews about those smartphones. You write the review of Samsung Galaxy S4 and you honestly didn’t like it. You can say it straight in your review. You can say that the product was bad and you didn’t like using it.
In the end of the review, you will leave a link, “Galaxy S4 isn’t worth buying. FIND A BETTER SMARTPHONE HERE!” Then people will be directed to another review where you are describing a better phone that you can honestly recommend.
That way good and bad products will generate your income.

Do you have experiences of making money online by writing product reviews?
Hey there it’s Alexey. I liked your post and I think you nailed it! Making money with reviews is a great way to do that but one negative thing comes to my mind: you will need to research a lot before you review. If you write about your passion you will find it more easy and more natural than always researching before you do a review. That’s my thought.
Otherwise – well done mate! Awwsome post with a lot of value.
Hi Alexey,
You are right that making reviews is the most fun when you can write about the subject that is interesting to you. Also, a little bit of research is not bad if you will earn passive income after writing, publishing and sharing the review.
