The Bottom Line Epinions only dishes out a little money for your reviews. Write reviews that are direct and to the point, those are the ones people want to read.

Epinions, write an opinion on a book or movie or some other product and get money.

That is why most people joined Epinions. The thing is, that Epinions does not pay all that much. To the people who think they are just writing reviews to bring out the truth to other people, I can understand that. Would you do the same for no money? Epinions pays out only a buck for a very good review. I think that Epinions should dish out a lot more money. I work very hard writing these reviews and I spend a lot of time editing them also. I do not understand why Epinions would get so many members. I get more money in a day than I would get writing reviews for a lifetime. Why did you join? You wanted to make some money? Improve your writing? For whatever reason I think you deserve more more money for whatever you write. I really hate how Epinions gives so little money. I made only a little over a buck thirty for ten reviews. I worked on those reviews for several hours. I put all my thoughts and feelings into my reviews and I only make a buck thirty? Epinions is getting cheaper and cheaper and I do not understand how that attracts more people. You should know that you are only being payed pennies for your time. Go find yourself a part-time job in a restaurant. You can make more money anywhere. What attracts you to Epinions?

Epinions a few years ago had a lot fewer members. Reviews would get a lot more money than then they would now. The people who read the review would base their rating not on quantity, but quality. Now the review is based purely on quantity. If you write a short very good review you will only get a little money. People think that the person writing the review did not work hard so they give them a somewhat or not helpful when they deserve more. Who really reads a whole article? The person spends an hour writing about non-necessary facts than they get to the good part. A few years ago it was all quality. You could make lots of money for just writing a long review. Who cares if the subject is stretched out to the limit? I admit that I even write quantity not quality. That is why for now on I will quit stalling and get to the facts. Nobody wants to read a long wasteful review. You should want to read a review that is direct and to the point. After this review is published you can read my reviews that have quality, not quantity. Thank you for reading my review of Epinions!!!
