Start Your Own Product Review Website  by Avril Harper 

Have you ever considered starting your own review website where you review a specific type of product; preferably products in which you are already an interested buyer yourself? If so, you can make money by selling related affiliate products and featuring paid for advertisements right alongside your reviews.

The best way to get started is to scan the Internet and see what products are not being written about and reviewed much, and then start writing about these products like crazy.

If you don’t want to start your own web site to host all your product reviews, you can write and post articles on Internet directories and places like HubPages and Squidoo, as well as thousands of other online locations keen to publish other people’s articles free of charge.

Your goal is to get your site included on the first page of every search engine people might use to search for products such as you are reviewing. To do that you need to make your articles different to other people’s articles for similar products, if there are any similar articles or similar products being reviewed. 

The reason your articles need to be different is because search engines like to return unique information for their clients, so if they see the same article, or similar articles posted many times across the Internet, they will remove them from search engine listings. And that’s the last thing in the world you want to happen, given most of your traffic and ultimate buyers will come through search engine returns, even those who originally reach you by reading your article on another person’s site.

If you think you’ll run out of ideas for your articles, think again, because it’s quite easy to rewrite the same information many times and for each piece of writing to be very different and totally acceptable to search engines.  You do it by changing the title and keywords used in your articles and rearranging your paragraphs and paraphrasing as much of your writing as possible.  You should try to make each article at least sixty per cent different to any other, and you should have great success with all of them.

Once you have your articles you can post them on one or all of many article directories including those listed after this article.  For more directories, key something like ‘article + directory’ into the search box at www.google.com.

If you like to write, you can eventually have several different sites for very different products. Alternatively, once you have established yourself as a reliable reviewer, you can use your one site and offer reviews on various different products and let your readers choose the reviews that best suit their interests.

It’s a good idea to keep your reviews based on subjects that interest you most, unless you are confident about locating, researching and writing about themes you don’t currently know much about.

If you are able to write reviews accurately and people begin to rely on your views of products and agree with you, they will return to you on a regular basis every time they want to purchase certain items you review. This means you really need to know about your products and be able to write comprehensive reviews on all of your items. Try to always be honest and give both the pros and the cons of the products.
