How To Create Tech Products Customers Love By Marty Cagan

Do you want to get sent products to test, keep them and even earn money reviewing them? I recall receiving press releases from a PR firm about travel bags and I always ignored it…without thinking that could be my source of contact from reviewing such products. Still others send offers of discount codes to those who previously posted reviews in exchange for discounted products.

Arnott's a long-time entrepreneur ( in 2006 Wired wrote about Collaboradate , a program he built that let you search multiple dating sites simultaneously) and believed he saw a space in the market. As enthusiasts, we like to tell our readers about our first impressions of new products, however it's important to note the access we get at this stage is usually very limited.

Since much of that time is spent educating customers on how the product will change their current business practices, these meetings are typically conducted in person, with 32% more time spent in face-to-face meetings. These sites also make significant efforts to attract new visitors and reviewers, so they may be your best source for multiple recent reviews of the same business or product.

Verify the certification of products and components with Product iQ. Advanced search and filtering make it easy to access guide information, alternative products and more. Posting an article from your favorite blogger on one of your social media accounts or linking to it from a blog post of your own are both excellent strategies.

To be an "Amazon Verified Purchase," the reviewer must have bought the product themselves, without receiving a discount from the vendor. Some sites will let you keep products, whereas others may pay you in Amazon vouchers or cash. Reviews may also be poorly moderated, if at all, which allows people to add fake reviews (both good and bad) to a site.

Surely a Product Review is one of the bet way to earn money online. This spring I attended Time to Play Magazine's blogger toy event in New York City, where companies present new toy releases and demos while collecting business cards from bloggers. What's more, reviews often prompt readers to discuss, rate, and comment on products they might have purchased or are thinking about buying.

Celebrities can help only portable promote your products as well, especially if it's an unpaid endorsement. People reading your posting on a review site probably won't know who you are. The excitement of getting packages in the mail, the thrill of finding a new product that helps my family, and the joy of making money from the comfort of my home has led to my career in professional blogging.
