I am the biggest advocate for making money online, but with Review Stream, I have yet to cash out. Why? Because, the pay is just too low.

I've been working for Review Stream for over a year, and have written so many reviews for them. The problem is that most of them are only paid at the .40 cent rate. Since you can't cash out until you reach the $50 mark, you end up having to write about 100 reviews. That's a lot of reviews for just $50.

When you get started with Review Stream, you have lots of ideas about what you want to review, but then you quickly run out of ideas, and your earnings are still low. I've already written several, and I've made $25 from them so far, so I'm going to go ahead and finish it. I would have made more by now, I just got tired of how slowly it was adding up so I stopped for a while. I have other online jobs I do that pay quite a bit better, so I just went back to those.

The thing about Review Stream is that you have to write reviews that are at least 300 words long, and if you end up only getting paid 40 cents for it, then you really aren't doing that great. I don't mind making money, but since I can do better other websites, I usually go there instead. Three hundred words may not seem like that many, but if the product is just a simple product, it can be very difficult to think of 300 words about it.

With Review Stream, you can write about anything you want, and you either get paid $2 or 40 cents for the review, depending on it's quality. Most reviews however are paid at the lower level, but most hotel reviews are paid at the higher level, as long as you write them well.

The good thing about Review Stream is that you can write as many reviews as you want to, and you'll get paid at least something for all of them. That means you can spend the whole day writing a review, and if you wrote 20 reviews in a day you will get paid at least $8, and at most $40. But, you would have to have a lot of patience to write that many reviews every day, and you would also be scrambling for ideas of what reviews you want to write.

Therefore, my answer is that while you can make money with Review Stream, the question is whether or not the money you make is worth the price. If your looking for just a little hobby, that will add up over time, then Review Stream might be perfect for you. However, if you are looking to make serious money online, you should look somewhere else.
