Would You Do A Paid Review?
Paid posts are becoming a big business for both bloggers and agencies that coordinate paid posts. They are also becoming more sophisticated as time goes by. You can, as a business owner, now surf many blogs selecting those that may suit your requirements and approach them for paid posts.
I have been approached a few times to do product reviews, that is, they send me the product and I write the review. I have ignored or denied the request in the past, however I now wonder if I have done myself a dis-service. Whilst not getting paid, I still received the products which is a form of payment.
Now, advertisers can view my blog and decide whether or not they want a review from me. This is a great idea since they are spending money, they should be selecting their advertisers.
Using a paid for post type of income makes sense. You have control over what you write and when you write it.
can’t quite do this now, since my blog’s a poetry blog.
but i would be open to the idea if i were to set up another blog. 
Really I would decide on a case by case basis. There are some products I feel wuold just not be something I would want to promote no matter how good they are. While there are others which might be interesting to give them a chance and have the opportunity to make the money at the same time.
I’d pay you to do a paid review in a heartbeat. Please email me and we can talk about what makes sense.
What services are used for writing Review, or should I look for advertisers is? thanks
I´ve seen quite a few blogs which are opting in to this kind of advertising. I think it´s a pretty good idea… as you say, you get the product AND get paid and they get a review (hopefully good) on a really good blog, which will have high exposure. It´s a pretty brilliant idea!!

Getting products for free in order to review them (and sometimes getting money on top of that) is a great way to make some extra money. Just be careful that it doesn’t become a “chore”.
I burned myself out taking on too many reviews at once, and now ignore all product inquiries.
We should control the number of paid posts. Don’t make your readers run away!
I think you have to be very careful, a review of something that compliments your own business or blog could be an assett – not sure about the fee, if it is unrelated then i don’t think it should be considered and if it is the fee should be big.
If it is related then probably an administration fee for your time and a trial of something you are interested in or can benefit you or your readers.
