Opining Online

If there’s one thing I’ve got, it’s an opinion about nearly everything. I’ve decided to take advantage of this trait and try to earn a little money by signing up to write paid blog reviews.

This does not mean that there will be less original, unpaid content here. It doesn’t mean you won’t be subjected to more photos of my darling grandchildren and cute little puppy. I will still write about whatever catches my eye.

In fact, writing paid reviews requires original, unpaid content; lots of it. Perhaps more than I’ve been doing lately. Keeping my blog interesting in order to get paid will likely make it better.

One thing I learned about myself years ago is that I’m not a good salesperson unless I truly believe something is worthwhile, worth the money, and a good deal overall. This attitude will limit my reviewing opportunities. For example, you probably won’t find any reviews of internet dating services here. I am simply not interested in them and not a good enough writer to fake it.

On the other hand, if I find the opportunity to write about a product I’ve already used and like, or one that I’m considering using and know something about, I’ll jump on it.

I suspect I will also find out about products and services that intrigue me enough to further investigate them. I may actually learn something and if I do, I’ll try to pass that knowledge along to my readers. That would be a win, win, win situation.
