How to Become a Product Review Blogger

People ask me all the time "how did I get into product reviewing and making money blogging". My journey into this job (that I love) is unconventional. I started just keeping track of my pregnancy with my daughter. While on bed rest, I had heard that you could make money blogging, but it was a penny a word type stuff and I didn't feel that was worth it for me. I took a break for a while from my blog because it was hard to keep up with it and a newborn. I picked it up again when my daughter was almost two. But since I was a stay-at-home mom (with no car for 6 months), I started trying to connect with other bloggers, so I could feel a sense of community and for some adult interaction. And I noticed other bloggers getting products to review. So I pitched one. I pitched a lot actually, but the first company that took a chance on me was Buddy Fruits. And since then this wonderful endeavor has opened up so many opportunities for me.


There are a few things you should note if you are going to try to get into this business:
1. You have to be able to meet personal deadlines.
2. You have to be able to follow through on any commitments you make.
3. You have to understand that this isn't just about "getting free stuff". It's a LOT of work.

So how do you become a product review blogger?

Showing the Love with Precious Moments

I received complimentary products to provide this post. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.

Who do you show you love them this time of year? I try and show it all year long, but I love the sappy-ness of Valentine's Day. It may be cheesy as heck, but it is a great reminder to take the time out of your day and really think about those around you that you love. My mother-in-law is one of those people. We have a really unique relationship. I have known her since I was 18 and although I thought I was grown up, she has helped me so much in the process of becoming the adult I am today and I like to show her how much she is appreciated whenever I can. Precious Moments makes quality decorations that will be cherished for years to come.
