Shared Reviews

A few days ago Shared Reviews announced a new "Bounty" program that you may be interested in. Check out the email -



"Hey SharedReviewers,



It took us a few days longer than anticipated, but the author application forms and early customer sign ups are live! You can access the new site by clicking the Apply for Program link in the top right corner of your SharedReviews Profile Home page, or direct dialing http://content.sharedreviews.com in your browser address bar.



So, what are Bounties?



Bounties are assignments from customers for custom content they'd like to purchase for their websites. Although initially this will be articles only, it will eventually include Videos and Photos for all those avid Photographers and Videographers in the community. Basically, customers will publicize Assignments they'd like you to fulfill. Our proprietary matching engine will then recommend the best authors for the assignment based on the criteria they enter, where they'll make their choice based on the profile, history, and work examples authors publicize in their member profiles and the info they enter on the application form.



We have been trialing this program in a private alpha the last couple of months, and with all of the learning we have acquired we see some very cool ways we can revolutionize the pay for content industry for both authors and customers, so expect some earth shattering cool things to materialize when we go live. In the meantime, make sure you come and apply since there's no cost and the earning potential will be huge for those that have the skills, plus we may have some assignments for you even sooner.



The requirements to become accepted as an author in the beta are:



1) You have a SharedReviews member account. Our matching engine will leverage all of the great profile info members have shared, and we'll eventually be integrating all author aspects directly into the SharedReviews site in the future.



2) Youre physically located in North America. We may open this up to other countries with English as their primary language such as the UK and Australia, but we need to keep it simple out of the gate. If [UTF-8?]you’re located in one of those latter two countries and are interested in the program, make sure you let us know either directly through an email (accounts@sharedreviews.com) or on the SharedReviews Forum so we can gauge interest.



3) You can show us examples of work you've done so we can see what you're capable of. You'll have the options of sharing your resume, sample articles, or links to other sites to highlight your experience. Dont worry if you're not a professional freelance writer, we want to open this lucrative vertical up to anyone who has the ability to create great content and wants to pad their income in these times of economic uncertainty, so quality Reviews and your history on SharedReviews both apply as well.



Although we may be opening up sections of the new site over the coming weeks, expect our big beta launch in January where we hope to offer some of the highest author payouts in the industry!

I think this is going to be an exciting program for a lot of people looking to freelance (and NOT through Associated Content!). Hopefully the new SharedReviews will be super cool! I know Im looking forward to it!



If you're not a Shared Reviews member yet, be sure to sign up here and then you can apply for the Bounty program.

Ralph and Edna... Not Your Typical Love Story

The love story of Ralph and Edna...





Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't

mean they don't love you with all they have. Ralph and Edna were both

patients in a mental hospital.





One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph

suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool

and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the

bottom and pulled him out.





When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she

immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now

considered her to be mentally stable.





When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news

and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were

able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the

life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays

sound mindedness.





The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his Bathrobe

belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'





Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How

soon can I go home?'





Happy Mental Health Day!





You can do your bit by remembering to send an email to an unstable

friend...



Done my part!!!

iRazoo


Another paid to search... this one sounds much easier to rack up the points quickly, and I've been told that a lot of folks, also, win instant prizes, like gift cards, just randomly, from doing the searches. I'm gonna give it a try!

How does our search engine and points system work?



Step 1: Perform a regular search query. You will get back your search results (our search results are a real-time compilation of the top search results from the best search engines). For each search you perform, you will receive "2" points (up to a maximum of 100 points per day). Once you click on a result, you will open up a new webpage with the search result website in it.



Step 2: At the top of the webpage, you will see our frame which asks you to decide to either recommend or not recommend a website to other users. By recommending or not recommending a website, you will receive "4" points (up to a maximum of 100 points per day).



Step 3: You can also receive points by referring a friend on our "Refer a friend" link at the bottom of every page. Each friend of yours that registers on the iRazoo website will earn you "50" points (there is no limit to the number of points you can earn this way. You have no daily limit, the number of points you can earn are unlimited!!!)



Step 4: Redeem all your hard earned points on our "Accounts" page by exchanging them for exciting prizes such as MP3 players, cameras, memory sticks, game systems, etc!



Step 5: In addition to more points, each person you refer to the iRazoo.com website increases your chances of earning an Instant-Win Gift Certificate! How you may ask? It's simple. If anybody you refer to the iRazoo website wins a Gift Certificate, you will win that same Gift Certificate as well! Gift certificates are awarded randomly to users just for searching and/or voting on websites.

The best way to earn more points or win an Instant Gift Certificate is to use iRazoo as your everyday search engine and to refer as many people as possible to iRazoo.



Your benefits for using iRazoo:

• You get excellent search results (we aggregate all the data from the best search engines on the planet!)


• You get to help further refine our excellent search results for others as well as benefit from other's refined search results


• You get points for each search you perform, each website you recommend/not recommend, and each referral you make


• Best of all, you get to exchange your points for fantastic prizes!
