How To Write An Amazon Product Review: The Basics

Writing an Amazon product review is as easy saying: 1,2, 3. First, you need to create an Amazon account because you cannot buy products or write reviews without one. However, Amazon will not allow you to write a product review until you buy something from their site, so I suggest buying a small book or inexpensive item so you can start writing product reviews. I suggest using your real name when writing reviews because Amazon offers the option of creating a real name tag. I often tend to believe reviews that are written by people using their real name because I have heard some companies create fake profiles to try and bolster the ratings for their product. If you are apprehensive about using your real name on Amazon, then select a pen-name and alter ego that is similar to who you are in real life. Do not try to pass yourself off as someone else just because you are too scared to write an angry review about a product under your own name. If you are that mad about a product or service, you might want to take a few days off to calm down before writing. People can usually see through angry and unfair reviews, and these are not helpful to anyone involved: the company or the consumers. Thus, it is probably best to use your real name and identity when writing reviews on Amazon as you do not want to mislead people. Be truthful when writing a product review and tell consumers about the positives and negatives of the product you have purchased. Please do not be intimidated by other reviewers because it seems others like to put each other down when writing reviews. Just have fun and tell your fellow consumers what you thought about your purchase.

Write about products you have used and are knowledgable about. Do not just write about a product because you think it would be a fun hobby. Over time if you write a few good product reviews, you will be able to help real people make real choices about what they will buy. Amazon.com product reviews are so powerful because the reviewers are not being paid to advertise the product, so we know we are getting an unbiased and objective view of the pros and cons of each product. However, be careful to only buy products on amazon that have more than twenty reviews it is an appliance or something that could break down because once I bought a product that only had two reviews, and it broke a month later. When I went back to amazon to review the product I saw there were five new reviews saying this product did not work, so now if it is not a book I will not buy it unless it has twenty plus reviews. This is just a suggestion, but at least with twenty good reviews you know that the product is adequate and not just liked by a couple of people who might have just happened to get a models that did not malfunction.

If you are a writer and you want people to read your writing, starting out by writing amazon reviews will give you a platform to share you opinions. In your profile you can list your website address, which will allow people to visit your website if they wish. You cannot post direct links to your hubs in product reviews, but if you are knowledgeable about a book your can write a very good review about it, which may prompt some people to click on your profile. If many people are clicking on your profile, there is an increased chance they may be following the link on there to your hubpage profile. Also, you can bring more attention to your profile by making comments in response to other peoples' reviews. Lets say someone wrote a very good review about toasters, but they forgot a couple of important issues with it that you would like to add. By doing this you are likely to get a response from that person and they may even add you to their friends list. You can also add people to your friends list if you feel they are writing interesting product reviews.
