Life as I find it

So many people are looking for easy ways to be online and earn from it. One of the greatest ways I know is to write reviews. Many people look at this as “selling your soul” or something, but really, do you need to sell your soul to have an opinion about something?

I enjoy doing paid reviews. Of course, the best part is that I get paid for writing, but there are other aspects to it too. One being that I end up looking at products, services and websites that I otherwise would probably have missed. Another, is for me to develop my writing skills, so that I can say what I want to say, rather than provide some sugar coated garbage. Believe me, this needs practice, and paid practice is good incentive.

There are literally endless places you can get opportunities to write reviews and get paid for them. I keep posting opportunities like that from time to time, and this is a time when I share one of those:

What I like about SponsoredReviews.com is that it doesn’t limit you to advertizers selecting your site before you can attempt reviews, but you can actually go through the requirements posted and bid on the ones you think will work for your interests, blog, style of writing and money requirements. This is good, because with many paid review sites, you end up having to settle for whatever their automated systems throw your way, and I am certain that many good matches are not even noticed.

For example, I could find a subject that really was of interest to me, and then, honestly, even if the budget is not as high as I expect, it works for me, because I am going to enjoy writing it. This is not something a software can anticipate.

But there are other sites of course, and I might as well list them here:

Another really good paid blogging site.

Another nice place is Review Stream - its really easy and hassle free to write reviews here, and there are no issues with creating accounts or anything. Quick and painless.

So far, so good. Will point out more opportunities as I come across them.

Guess who I am just chatting with? Heh. As though you can. I am chatting with Manisha Bhattacharya - an old friend. When I say, old, I mean it - we used to park our dinosaurs next to each other - that’s how we met.

Time and tests took us away and we lost contact and made contact sporadically. Both of us with our own struggles and demons. When I left Mumbai for Manali, she was in Mumbai. When I returned to Mumbai, she moved to Goa…… and no, its not about either of us forgetting to use deo. It was fate (drumroll)

And fate brings us back together. Today, as we chatted, I discovered that Manisha has discovered the internet like I did, and is a newbie blogger, with the same talent for stomach-clutching-roll-on-the-floor humor that she has in life. Naturally, such things are addictive, and I’m now in the process of convincing her to join me here.

Together, we shall sweep the cobwebs of age and disuse on this blog and hijack it to do ….. well whatever it is that two strong, self-assured women do when they come together - we shall discover that as we go along.

Yeah, its wishful thinking, but how much better can it get? Without wanting to do exciting stuff, we may as well sit there and stagnate.
