I Got Paid To Be A Clown
Anyone who’s read this blog before (all three of you…at least I hope I’ve got three…) knows I’m a little enthusiastic about SharedReviews.com . It’s a user-driven site that pays $2 per review. Not a huge amount of money, but the reviews only have to be 125 words, which works out to a little less than $0.02/word. Again, not the best rate in the world, but better than, say, Associated Content.
The best thing about Shared Reviews is that you can get paid to clown around a little. I just got my “Yoga Is Better Than Crack Cocaine” review approved. The whole point of the site is to make money through pageviews, so anything a little offbeat, controversial, or otherwise entertaining seems likely to be approved (within reasonable good taste, I assume).
The most potential I see for clowning here is with their video feature. You can upload video for each review you do, so…asking a Yoga teacher why Yoga really is better than crack cocaine might be fun. Calling up an ex-girlfriend you haven’t spoken to in five years and asking for the $500 she owes you could be a great supplement to my review on Yahoo Voice (internet-”phone” service), for example. Really, the possibilities seem endless.
I’m not sure what kind of money we reviewers are gonna draw in once the site goes full-blast. It’s going to be a shared-revenue site, so anything viral you can do is gonna help. And videos are about the most viral thing going on right now, and they don’t require medication. And I think they’re gonna be a lot of fun.
My point? Get over to SharedReviews and have a little fun!
