$2 paid per quality review!

(Edited Feb 2009: ReviewStream turned out to be a scam. Don't waste your time there.)

Less than a month after being introduced by a fellow clicker to try out another online earning site, I can now say that this one is a better alternative to clicking ads for cents or joining review sites like Ciao where just about anyone can post crappy reviews.

Reviews posted in ReviewStream are assessed first before being posted on their site. What's good about this is that there is quality control and double checking if the reviewer deserves the $2 fee per review.

There is also a bulk rate that is given ($0.40, I think) to those whose reviews don't meet all of RS's criteria. I don't check the bulk rate box when I send in my reviews because I believe that everything I write for them has substance.

So far, I have had 3 reviews approved and already have $6 in my account. It's fine by me to wait for a few days before they send me notification that my reviews have been approved. At least I know that they're really looking for honest reviewers.

Reviewers need to reach $50 in their account to be able to cash out. If you're industrious enough, I think it would be easy to reach payout here than in any other site that pays in cents. When I have more time in between my writing deadlines, I plan to do more reviews to reach my first payout faster.

In case you're wondering, yeah, you can review just about anything you own or use or go to. Check out the ReviewStream site to know more.

Enjoy earning! :)

Bummer

Latest news in the online earning world:

Ciao just removed their $0.25 per review and is instead implementing a "new-improved" scheme that no member can make heads or tails with. I've stopped posting there at the moment. Will probably resume if the $12.22 cashout I requested end of November will really be paid to my PP account mid of this month.

Thinkbux has reset balances to zero just when I am only $0.03 short of my first $5 cashout. Aaaargh! And the admin has some lame explanations that I can clearly translate as "Say goodbye to your hard-earned money from clicks because I just got them as my early Christmas present." :(

I'm sticking with the other trusted sites that are still paying (according to proofs of payments at the PTC forums). I've also started getting more active at Helium now by writing full-length articles that might just earn me money in the long run. After all, taking it slow is sometimes really worth the wait.
