Earn Money with Product review marketing

Hold on. How come reviewing a product is a blog monetization strategy when it apparently is just another blog post type?

If that’s what you thought, you’re correct up to an extent. Writing product reviews is a great way to increase affiliate sales and provide information about a product to your readers.

But here I’m talking about product reviews where you get the product by brands (mostly for free) and are expected to write a genuine review.

You can add affiliate links or get other stuff in exchange for sales made from your product review. You may also get paid for writing reviews, but the brand will expect a positive review (despite your experience), and that’s not what I recommend.
Hence, you should only try to get free products and try to write genuine reviews which helps your readers and doesn’t disturb user’s trust.

Tip: Join e-commerce platforms like GearBest who gladly send products to review if you’re well-known in your industry.

Here’s a checklist to refer when you’re ready to write product reviews.

Pros

• You get free products
• Can offer exclusive coupon or deals for your readers clubbed with an affiliate link for extra earnings
• You keep the user's trust by reviewing products you have used
• Brand connection grows, and other brands will eventually want to connect with you

Cons

• Earning potential isn't that great as you may not always get products to receive
• You need to deal with brands and convince them to send a review unit
• In case of physical products, you got to deal with shipping, handling, and import charges
• Brands will have unrealistic expectations which at times can be challenging to deal
