Start a Product Review Biz
Starting an online Product Review business is probably the quickest and easiest business you could look at starting. This business is especially suited to people who have good writing skills and like to share their opinions.
Do you have an opinion on anything and everything?
Before you get started it is important to think about the area of interest or the theme for your review business, and make sure you drill down to find a niche in your area of interest. Great examples are jewellery, kids toys, fashion, home makers and food. All of these areas of interest have a multitude of subcategories, so you need to choose one of those subcategories as your theme.
This is where you will generate web traffic and money. Say you choose jewellery as your area of interest but your niche is going to be ‘glass beads & charms’. A niche is very important. There is no reason why you can’t have many sites all with different niche’s.
How do I start an online Product Review business?
First … You will need a blog … if you don’t already have one, go to step one!
Step one: Word Press. At BiziMums we endeavour to bring you a variety of service providers … but we use WordPress Direct exclusively and can’t recommend it highly enough. BiziMums.com is fully operating on WP right now … looks great doesn’t it?
| Of course there are other services, such as Blogger that can host your blog, but for customisation, functionality and theme layouts we think WordPress rocks! It is free and has upgrade packages for when your business grows. |  |
So your blog is really the main business tool that you will be using. You can have it hosted by WordPress or Blogger etc, or you can host it yourself on your own domain.
For professional reasons we think it is important to host your own so that your web site doesn’t contain WordPress or Blogger in the address.
Step two: Hosting and domain names. If you are taking our advice you will need to purchase a domain name and start a web hosting account. Both of these can be acquired quite cheaply and do not require any technical skills … And any skills you do need we have probably written a guide on it to help you set up with ease, and you will find them in our BiziStore.
Once you have got your blog set up on your site you can start making changes so it matches your idea of how your business will look. There are plugins for your site that are essential such as a back up plugin that you need to install. We have written a great guide for all the must have WordPress plugins for your site, including the one’s you can turn off.
How do I get paid as a Product Reviewer?
Well, about now you are probably thinking this sounds like something I want to do! But how do I make money out of it?. The only catch with a Product Review business is that you need to build up a reputation before people will come knocking on your door for a paid review …
In the meantime there are some great companies that your can register with to find people wanting a paid review. It is a good idea to sign up with a couple of them and see what products are being reviewed most, then set up a Product Review business specialising in those topics.
Then you need to just start blogging, paid or not, to build up your site and your reputation. Writing a blog is just like writing an email, no harder. BUT! you do need to think about important items like keywords, and use them throughout your article. Most articles are about 200 to 500 words in length and are an honest opinion of a product or service. Make sure you add your own style to each review, personality counts.
