I'm a full-time mummy

I have received a number of emails and comments from my followers asking how I get to review products and apps so I decided to list down my tips and post it (maybe weekly?) to share my experience and tips. Feel free to drop me an email or comment if you want to find out more or anything else.

Last week, I shared my fourth tips in getting products to review, which is CONTACT ME! Here goes my fifth tip:

POST YOUR REVIEWS!

Of course after you reviewed the product, you need to post your review, but what I also meant is,

POST YOUR REVIEWS TO AS MANY COMMERCIAL WEBSITES AS POSSIBLE!

Now what you need to know & do:

• Once you have completed your review, post it up on your blog.
  
• Then, make sure you also put up the review into as many commercial websites as you possibly can.
  
• Commercial website such as Amazon can be used for reviews on books, apps and products (look up the product you are reviewing, if they can be found on Amazon, post your review there too!) But do note that you can only post reviews on Amazon if you have bought something from them before. I think it is to do with your credibility in posting your reviews, kinda like, you bought something from Amazon, so if you publish your review on a product, it is more credible.
  

There you go, my 5th blog tips on getting products to review.

Try it yourself and let me know the outcome!

Stay tuned for my next blog tips next week!

** P.S: Please note that it is always better if your blog has good following and good PR rank as these factors help a lot when you request for a product to review.

When I saw the press release of this app from Oceanhouse Media, I immediately requested for a promo code to review it as I have reviewed the 'Planes' version with Ben about a month ago and we loved it! Anyway, my review as below...

* Title: Boats

* Category: Books
* Released: Apr 11, 2012
* Version: 1.08
* Size: 10.2 MB
* Language: English

Description from the product page:

"Children can interact with many different types of boats in this exciting new transportation omBook! From rowboats to ferryboats, fishing boats and workers, many objects can be moved around with the touch of a finger. Realistic sound effects and brightly colored illustrations will delight young readers and keep them coming back for more!""

What's good?

* It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!

* I like that we can move the objects on each page! It gives you a sense of control and being imaginative to move the objects around!

* Ben is a big fan of all things related to fireman and fire engine so to see a firefighter boat is a new discovery to him! Needless to say, this is one of his favorite page in this app.

* The illustrations are beautiful and the narration is great!

You can purchase the " Boats " app from the iTunes App Store.

I received no monetary compensation for this review, I was provided with the promo code by the sponsor to redeem the application for free from iTunes Store in order to facilitate my review.
