My Experience with Review Stream

Chen Salis
I have been writing for Review Stream for five months now. I have so far not had any problems with Review Stream. I don't think this is a terrible company to write for, but certainly reviewstream isn't the best either.

Review stream will accept reviews on basically anything. You can write about websites, jobs, products, places and so on. Review stream doesn't pay much, the rates fluctuate from $1.50 to $2.00 a review. Additionally you can also earn ten cents each time your article is rated by another review stream user. review stream offers a one percent referral program also.

Some Review stream users are unhappy with the low rates, fifty dollar pay out, and bulk rate payments which average around forty cents .I personally haven't been paid at the bulk rate for any of my articles, and for the few minutes required I find the $1.80 to $2.00 payment to be satisfactory.

Review stream is not as user friendly as it could be. My gripe is that you can't view your account balance until a review is accepted. Sometimes it takes four or five days to have a review purchased.

I write around fifty short reviews each month, and I enjoy the extra hundred dollars or so I earn from review stream. You aren't going to get rich at review stream, but you can certainly earn a little extra cash with review stream.

The best thing about review stream is the possibilities of topics is endless. Review stream will accept reviews on just about anything. Also, they don't seem to be too picky . Associated Content will also purchase reviews. You can earn a lot more money via Associated Content, as they pay a minimum of three dollars, and you can also earn a performance payment bonus.

In my opinion, review stream is decent, and if you are going to commit to writing at least thirty short reviews. You will be paid. I also believe Review stream is a good outlet for new and inexperienced writers, you will be published and you can get your name out there as a reviewer. I will continue to write short reviews at review stream, as it is easy money, and who doesn't need extra money?

We can always hope that some slight improvements are made to the website, and customer service. In my opinion, Review Stream is a good outlet for developing your writing skills and earning some extra cash. You won't get rich, but that's okay.

    I just submitted my second review to Review Stream. My first was rejected. I found the site user unfriendly and difficult. I did not realize that you need to have $50 in your account get paid.

    Your article was very helpful and so were the comments. I may give up on Review Stream.

    I am not impressed with Review Stream after I suggested they get a word counter and they told me if I wrote quality reviews I wouldn't need one. Well, they want a word minimum! Sheesh! Is that too much to ask???

    Lately they have been bad at denying things. Saying they aren't interested in them usually. I don't like RS at all and won't be returning.

    Well I have ot complain about the only thing I can right now. Everytime i write a review it is declined within 5 seconds. So I emailed them and they were the most ignorant people I can imagine!

    I recently started using Review Stream. I noticed that if I put a comment in the User Comments, it would be deleted, as were my friend's. I emailed them and they told me my comment was useless. Ok, that's fine, except that my comment was above, "I lOvE tHiS sItE! lOlZ!" Also, they certainly need some help in the PR department, because, although they're email was reasonable, it was very rude. I wish they would have a little more consideration for users.

    Thank you for your great article, please keep writing.

    Its not good enough to just warn people on here about review stream, you have to post it everywhere you can think of. I am working on driving as many people away from them as I can. They shouldn't be allowed to do any business on the internet.

    Reviewstream is a joke. What they claim they will do and what they WILL do are 2 totally different things. First they will take pretty much any review you send them and tell you why it isn't good enough to pay the regular rate. They'll have some excuse.........but they will figure something wrong with your review. If you have to email them, make the first email a good one.....they might respond to that one. After that, you'll never hear from them again. After that, good luck sending in reviews even at the bulk rate. You will most likely get a message that says your review is not valuable. We do not want it. This happens even at the bulk rate. If you have a lot of time to waste on these jerks, then go ahead, but you have been warned.....stay away from reviewstream. If you take a few minutes to look around on these blogs, you'll see many more articles like this. Guess there must be some truth to it huh?

    I'm glad you get the regular rate. They paid me regular rate until I got close to $40, then suddenly they began paying my only the bulk rate. If I ever get worked up to $50 it will be the last work I do for them. At 40 cents a shot it takes a long time.

    Great article. I write for Review Stream too and I think it is great!

    They seem iffy at best and can get quite snappy and rude fast if you question them at all. Overall, dealing with them certainly has not been worth the hassle.
