    Don't waste your time with reviews. I can tell you that you are going to waste your time and get 0 results.

    Way too many people and websites all competing with each other to get high rankings and make easy sales.

      Ya. I have never done this before. Good that you cautioned me before time. I realize if I have to do this, it has to be done correctly if at all I pursue this

        I am not trying to scare you into not doing reviews. Just stating that it's a lot of work if you are passionate about doing them.

        I used to do MLM Reviews but wasn't passionate about writing them.

        They converted very well though.

        But if you aren't passionate about any said marketing method, then your work will feel hard and it will take a lot out of you.

        Here's an image of an affiliate marketer who is marketing the very 'same' system as me right now.



        This dude lives in the same city as me and found my blog back in 2013.

        Then after an accident he had in 2013 (car accident), he was forced to replace his income online because he couldn't go back to his job as a car 'mechanic' for health reasons.

        My MLM Review blog was one of the main blogs where he learned how to write reviews but more importantly...

        How to 'Call to Action' your visitors into your lead capture page and then into a very powerful sales video will convert X amount of your leads into sales immediately.

        I used to write 1 review per day.

        He still writes 3 (or more) per day and has learned some more advanced strategies of SEO above my skill set.

        He is still on my email list and for some reason goes through my content that I sometimes share to my list more than any of my other leads.

        However, one of my coaches (who has made over $7M online as a Paid Traffic Guy) has ventured into the world of SEO and has been learning some amazing skills that he will be offering to the public in the near future.

        I was never a fan of paid SEO services but in today's highly competitive markets...I am re-thinking this whole idea altogether.

        I don't write reviews (for now) because the dude in the image above is kicking my ass and dominates all of the no.1 spots for the kind of reviews I write.

        I am focused in the MMO Affiliate Marketing Niche that has MLM features (tiers and sponsoring) built into the system.

        It's just way more profitable than just plane jane affiliate marketing.

        But for now, I am not writing reviews again until I see success from a test that my SEO guy is doing right now (may take a few weeks to kick in).

        And if this new SEO Tactic works...

        I will probably still hire a Ghost Writer (who has a similar writing style as mine) to write my reviews for me.

        Conclusion:

        If you love doing reviews and don't mind working hard for your success, then you can do very well with them.

        But if you just are not passionate about them, there are a lot more fun and 'creative' ways to generate your OWN Well of Marketing Traffic.

      Well, you're referring to SEO when you say he will get zero results, correct? What if he were to promote his product reviews elsewhere?

    OP...Reviews are competitive but they are a very powerful way to sell your products online. If you aren't afraid of hours and hours of hard work...

    1- Research: Research your products that you want to review and then compile that info on your own site.

    2- SEO (without a way to compete against all those other review sites, your biz is dead in the water).

    3- Call To Action (make sure that you direct your visitors to the next step).

    4- Lead Capture Page: Collect Leads.

    5- Patience (it could take you 3 months to a full year just to get your reviews to start ranking and getting you traffic).

    Unless you're an SEO guru, product reviews won't make you much money

    Most don't make any money with such content

    Why?

    They pick the wrong product to review

    They pick the wrong format

    They SEO their pages the wrong way

    There will be a lot of school of thoughts on this.

    One good place to start to learn this kind of marketing will be wealthy affiliate.

    Only thing is I do not like reviews which really bash up products just to drive people to join their programs and it is not in line with their way of marketing.

    The initial part on getting ranked high on Search Engines will not be easy and the best way to start will be by sending your email list to your reviews.

    This way, you get traffic to your site, you are not hard selling to your list, and you can earn affiliate commission while doing this.

    Well, I believe product review websites work the website. It is true that my hands are good on SEO and so almost all my sites rank well in Google results.

    However, for SEO you can hire someone at upwork.com for $10 and do the basic job for you. Rest the review should go from you. Should be detailed, informative and not repeat the information already available on the product sales page.

    Viewers who visit your review are already 50% convinced and need in-depth information about the product so they can make a final decision. Reading your review, they may either skip or buy the product through your links.

    So, in order to write a product review:

    1. You should know what the product is all about, what it does, how it helps and how long it takes to show results.
    2. You should have access to the product so that you are able to show pieces of content as proof to the viewers. Most of the vendors give affiliate review access on request, ask for one to the affiliate manager of the product.
    3. Do not forget to mention about money back guarantee, the actual cost (front end) and your final opinion about the product. Whether it is good, or bad.
    4. If you are mentioning about the bad points, write them in a positive way. After all, you are writing a review for viewers to buy, isn't it?

      Thanks Nisha

      The 4 points you mentioned seem to be the perfectly logical way to approach this

      This was very helpful

    Why not just hire people to write the reviews for you? It will allow you to focus your time and energy on other things for your affiliate site.
