Blog Tips: Getting Products to Review

~ Posted on Friday, May 4, 2012 at 7:52 AM ~

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.

2 weeks back I shared my fifth tips in getting products to review, which is POST YOUR REVIEWS! Here goes my sixth tip:

JOIN SOME BLOGGING COMMUNITY!

Now what you need to do:

  • Browse around the Internet.
  • There are so many blogging groups and networks around, so look out for those and join them.
  • There are some network community which you can share and send out your pitches for opportunities to review products.
  • You can check out on my blog sidebar way at the bottom under 'Cool Apps' section, there are some logos I put up which I am affiliated with. You might want to check them out and joined them! 

Even if you don't get to pitch products,

you might end up making new cyber friends.

All these blogging communities are about making connections and sharing and exchanging information and knowledge.

There you go, my 6th blog tips on getting products to review.

Try it yourself and let me know the outcome!

** 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.

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!

Last week, I shared my third tips in getting products to review, which is TWITTER & FACEBOOK! Here goes my fourth tip:

CONTACT ME!

No, I don't mean you need to contact me! What I meant is,

MAKE SURE IT'S EASY FOR PEOPLE TO CONTACT YOU!

Now what you need to know & do:

  • It is very important to provide a way for people / PR reps / companies to contact you.
  • In this case, if it is difficult to locate your 'Contact Me' link, then chances are high you won't get any opportunities to review anything.
  • I have a lot of review opportunities where the company actually wrote in to ask whether I am interested in reviewing their products.
  • One rule of thumb I believed in is your contact button should be easily visible in your main page and can be located within 10 seconds.
