paid to write reviews - Helphound (Merged)

  • Well if you could refer me that would be fantastic if not well enjoy the reviewing.
  • i have been a lurker for a while but never posted so please don't think this is spam

    I have made £83.60 in the last 3 days with www.helphound.com and wanted to share it with you all

    here is how it works, you register with them and write 10 reviews then email them to ask if you can continue. if they like the look of what you have written then they tell you that you can carry on. you then keep writing reviews until you have reached 100 and when you have done this you email them again to say you have done 100 and also give them either your name and address for a cheque payment or your bank details for a transfer (personally i prefer a cheque) they then send you a payment every week for whatever amount you are due.

    if you are a shopoholic like me then you will have no problems bumping up your balance. you get paid 50p for every first review you do and if you aren't the first to review somewhere then you still get paid 25p. all reviews need to be at least 25 words in length or 200 words for a town/city/place for which you get paid £1 per review.

    you can review shops, restaurants, fats food places, services etc and the list seems endless, there are hardly any places that i have searched for that haven't been on there.

    the site can sometimes be a little slow but i've found that if i open up multiple search tabs i can actually write loads of reviews in a short space of time and pretty much all the ones that i have done have been whilst my daughter is in bed
  • how many reviews have you had to do to make that amount of money in only a few days?

    sounds good to me!

    It is a great site I have earnt a lot of money with them over a year. However they dont really like people posting on here to get referals just to warn you all. Please dont abuse this site the owners are very nice.
  • credit_crunch i have done just over 200 reviews which sounds like a lot but you don't have to write a huge essay, just say what it was like for you. i have also started trying to concentrate on unreviewed places/shops as it makes you double the money

    mizzy2 i didn't realise that, in the email they sent me with all the reviewer contract it said to spread the word and that a lot of people have found facebook useful for this so i though it would be ok on here
  • I've just had a look at the website but can't find anything on it about them paying people to write reviews.

    £83.60 in 3 days online sound fine for 3 days but how many hours does that equate too?
