Mon, 05 Mar 2007 05:01:17 -0800

ReviewMe: Another Income Stream for Bloggers?

Fri, 10 Nov 2006 21:53:30 -0800

ReviewMe just created another one. By signing up for ReviewMe, you will have a chance to become a "hired gun." That is, someone who is interested in introducing his products to your readership can recruit you to write a review for a certain product. Surprisingly, ReviewMe may pay pretty well. For example, ReviewMe assigned a default price of $250 for my blog (and ReviewMe will take a 50% cut). Based on my experience, every new post at PFBlog usually attracts about 500-600 readers in the first week. Considering the profile of my readership, $250 is not a hefty price to pay, though. Does that sacrifice your editorial principles? Bloggers always have the discretion to decline review offers, and more importantly, the finished product does not have to be a positive review. Nevertheless, I will surely disclose this relationship should I choose to write paid reviews for ReviewMe (disclosure #1, ReviewMe is supposed to pay be $125 for writing this review). I will, however, be surprised if there are a lot of offers for personal finance bloggers. Considering the strict regulations for many banking, lending and investing products, quality products that are worth personal finance bloggers' reputation and time may be far and between. P.S. From a business model study perspective, it is quite refreshing to read how the people behind ReviewMe think of the business model: Why ReviewMe? Problem: Typically, large companies get their products/services reviewed by other Web sites/blogs benefitting from the traffic, viral nature of reviews, and valuable feedback, while new market players find it hard to get the word out about their products. Solution: ReviewMe's marketplace of web authors will review your product or service on their Web site sending your site traffic, viral buzz, and invaluable feedback. Problem: Due to a wide scope of interest many ad systems show exceptionally generic ads that are irrelevant and annoying, hurting the publisher’s ability to monetize the attention asset they have built. Solution: Our writers review what they find interesting. If the writer finds something interesting the odds are it is going to be well in tune with what readers of that channel like.]]>

Lousy Financial Advices From Robert Kiyosaki And Donald Trump

Tue, 10 Oct 2006 22:35:23 -0800

Why We Want You to Be Rich - A Book By Robert Kiyosaki And Donald Trump

Sun, 08 Oct 2006 01:22:54 -0800

It is an interesting mix. I admire Trump's achievements but think Kiyosaki is mostly a liar. However, I love the tone of the book. To me, it is as important to grow the top line of one's income statement as to live below one's means. Take a look of Kiplinger's Personal Finance's interview of the duo before you buy the book.
