Aside from EF, who else do you review for? Other sites? Your own website? Blog?
Any advice for getting started?

My blog. It's harder to get started with other sites, because many of them don't have quite the advanced review program, and for people to sponsor reviews on your blog you have to show traffic.
If you're looking at blogging then my advice is to go with a mixed blog. Put some reviews of toys you have and some other articles on there.

Including EF I review for 13 companies. I won't list here because I am not giving ad space to them on EF's page.
I review on my blog and have the traffic to support it. There are a few places that I'd **love** to review for but haven't gotten the opportunity to YET.
Getting started, I'd say start up a blog and start writing. Market it well (advertise advertise advertise!) and you will get readers. Advertise yourself on here, on twitter, get yourself into the blogging world (comment on other people's blogs and they will come to yours), and participate in elust. Those are all great ways to get traffic. After you get a small following, contact companies. Most are happy and willing to work with you if you have prior reviewing experience.
Hope that helps. If you have any more questions, feel free to private message me.

Didn't even know other companies had them.
Guess I'll stick to Eden.
Eden has too many features for me to go elsewhere

While I think it'd be cool to test for a bunch of different companies, I'm still just a wee little fish in the Toy Reviewing pond with alot still to learn, lol. That and for now, one company, (EF) is quite enough for me I may branch out a bit down the road, but right now I'm fine with just the one

I just recently started my blog, so I'm working to build it up, write as often as possible, and market myself. We'll see! Right now I'm working on the mentor program here and lots of other things IRL so it's really hectic
