Being paid to write a review?

[Ja Sa Bong]

Positive reviews are important to any business, products, brand or projects. It's what convinces others to patronize the services sold. A lot of business owners pay for positive reviews be written account their brands in review sites like Trustpilot etc.

Have you been offered a payment incentive to write a positive review? How much did you get paid?

i have received reviews, and frankly i don't think they are worth it.

No, and I don't think I'd accept payment for it either. At that point, I'd be under too much pressure to write an overly positive review - and at that point, I would no longer be writing a review: I would be writing an advert.

I didn't realize people paid for those...but it makes sense now that I think about it. I know that some people offer incentives to receive positive reviews and I suppose that it's the same thing as being paid. It's just in a different way.

I have had a few Amazon sellers reach out to offer discounts and such for a review. I will generally review the product honestly if I do review it, but normally I mark it for later and never come back to complete the review.

I was actually sent a free product once by someone on Amazon because they wanted a review (positive or not). For another Amazon seller, they offered to reimburse me if I left a review (positive or not) and I quickly took care of that one!!

Sadly most of mine have been products that I really only buy a few times. I believe one was insoles for my shoes and another was a speciality tool for my vehicle. Not exactly things that a month long discount code will help me with.
