Go to the page they are on. Grab them and they will be in your assignment cart, then you can write a review.

Not about video reviews but just general clarification: when you do a follow-up on a review, it doesn't show up again on the main page, does it? But I did notice that it does appear as the most recent review on your profile. Just sort of wishful thinking that it'd show on the main review page again, so as to get more views on reviews

Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
Only one. Typically, what is the time frame for a descriptive review. I don't think I have ever heard.

Just curious.

I don't have a program, but I do have several links that are very helpful if you would like them.

hmmm...never thought of that before. Do you have a particular example in mind for that?

If you already got the item and just waiting for another one, in the meantime you can grab the one you already have as a contributor and in the assignment cart you can start the review instantly.

What I mean is how can I submit a toy for review that I don't already own?

You can buy something to review.

Same time frame as a regular review. Sometimes there's a fast turn around time needed, but we'll let you know if that's the case before you accept it. So, 3 weeks to a month total from start to finish is ok.

You have to know how it is before you can review it.

You can favorite contributors with the little heart beside their names and then pull up the favorite contributors tab.... Is that what you mean?

Okay. I do understand that so if anything is sent to me to review, than it will be an assigned review.

I thought they still did(?)

I'll talk to tech and see if they changed it in an update.

A question! How can you use an audio track for your video review, if most of the songs are copyrighted? That's the reason youtube deletes the soundtrack of many videos. If you use a popular song for the video review, that's instant infringement in my opinion. So where would you look for suitable tracks or what would you do? Sometimes you just NEED music.

I think you have to request an upgrade first after you have written a few personally owned reviews

Do you mean, ask for a product to review?

I could be wrong, not sure. I did some follow-ups recently and didn't see them up on the main page so I just figured that didn't happen. Maybe I missed them.

Yes, specifically, as in this picture:



I already had a screen shot for a forum post earlier.

Where it shows last update, that's the last update to that thread, not to the person who posted last. I think if we're going to bother making a contributor a "favorite" it should show where THEY last posted. If I want to follow the thread I would mark it like in this picture:

Yes. I know how to go into the Review Program and look under the product search for an item. What I'm trying to ask is how to get one of these items for review under the product search in the review program

Right and you can also write a review on anything that you buy or already own just by grabbing the item in your upper right corner on the item page. That will put it in your assignment cart with an option to write a review.

You can find lots of free use music online, some are free some aren't.

"Open License" or "Copyright free" are good search terms. There's a specific term I'm trying to remember...
