I Want to Become Amazon Reviewer But...

20 replies
Hi,

I am from Pakistan and I want to become reviewer on amazon especially for kindle ebooks but the problem is that I need to purchase any item on amazon to become reviewer and secondly since I am from Pakistan, I cannot buy anything from amazon.

Is there someone who will help me become a reviewer to become on amazon.

In return I will provide you with e-books of mine and my friends (with their permission) on variety of topics.

    How about you just DON'T become a reviewer for Amazon?

    There's so many other ways to make money online where you don't have to jump through so many hoops in order to get around your geographical limitations.

      You want it "badly" but you want somebody else to "help you" do it.

      Your first post says that in order to become an Amazon reviewer, you need to buy stuff from Amazon -- but you can't because you're in Pakistan. So what kind of help are you looking for?

      Do you want people to buy stuff for you? Do you want people to help you buy these items so you can review them? What kind of "help" is it that you're looking for?

      Do you want to start a website where you post items from Amazon and write your own reviews there hoping people click through your review and then purchase the item so you earn commission?

      If you can't even do that from Pakistan then what more will people have to do?

      You may "want it" but it doesn't mean it's the best thing for you.

      But make your post more clear? What SPECIFICALLY would you like others to help you with or provide you with?

        Well, I'll provide you with my amazon id and password and you make a purchase to that I become a reviewer and then I'll review other people's products on amazon.

        In return, I'll provide you with a couple ebooks of mine

          So what you want to do is give your Amazon ID and password to a stranger. Then you want that stranger to use his/her payment details to make purchases on Amazon so that you can then review the products purchased?

          For that, you'll give the lucky person a couple of "your" eBooks?

          Are you serious?

          How is this supposed to make you any money if all you're doing is posting "reviews"?

          I really think that you should find something else to occupy your time. It seems like a very dangerous proposition that your proposing for both sides here?!

          It doesn't work that way any more. You have to buy each product that you review. You don't get review status and then you can review anything even if you've never read it. Amazon has cracked down on fake reviews.

          It was a moneymaker a few months ago, but not very ethical. I don't believe it even makes money now.

      The answer to your question is that in your circumstances, you can't do much. Yes, life is not always fair, but at the same time offers plenty of opportunities to those who never quit.

      Try something else. How about ClickBank, for instance?

      When I was a little girl my grandmother had a saying - "I want doesn't get".

      Just because you "want" something doesn't always mean you can have it.

      Can't you see what you are doing????

      Think. Why doesn't Amazon allow people from Pakistant? Because of the percentage of scammers.

      So. What do you want to do? Scam them. Thus proving Amazon right and reinforcing their belief that Pakistan is not safe to do business with.

      Find another way to earn online. Life isn't always fair.

        As soon as I read that quote I said, she's definitely from the UK before having a gander heard that so many times growing up, but for me it was regarding buying new consoles or games

        I want didn't work so I had to run two newspaper rounds and save for 2-3 months, making 15-20 quid a week It seems I had more patience when I was younger than when I first started IM. I guess back then I didn't have higher expectations and was OK with the fact that to get something you had to work at it.

          So, you can not buy from amazon or sell on amazon or become an amazon affiliate, BUT you are a "enthusiast" and "want it badly"

          Forgive me if I think your motives are not all that pure

    Use a proxy, set up an Amazon account, buy a kindle book for 0.00. You don't need a kindle, just download the app.

    Simples!

    I believe you can use sites like skimlinks, avantlink, and viglinks, they allow you to use them to post your Amazon links and they pay you and of course they get a %. you can set up a blog with reviews with out reading the book, just go through book reviews on the web and rewrite in your own words post on your blog with a link from one of these sites listed above and they pay you about 4-6% not sure the exact amt.

      Hi, I am from Pakistan. I have sold amazon products as an affiliate and got commission. If you want to review products you can do it without any problem. What I guess is you are not clear in terms of asking the question. I am also having trouble to understand your question. Sorry if I made you feel bad by saying it. Rethink it and post your problem in a good way so that people on warriorforum may help you out with flying colors.

    It's illegal for you to be a reviewer for Amazon! Many people have reviewed for their OWN purposes and the FTC got tired of it. And their job is to monitor such things.

    So it is ILLEGAL to give such a review and, if amazon allows it, they must have disclaimers, etc..., and the reviews lose any value!

    Being in pakistan, you can't very well give a review on anything anyway. Various things may be different, etc...

    And I have to ask WHY do you want it? You are saying that you want to TAINT reviews. Aren't they tainted ENOUGH? And WHY do you want to do it?

    Amazon would LOVE to let EVERYONE give a review! THINK of how great that would be. But it is DUMB and ILLEGAL because some just want to TAINT reviews.
