Unfortunately lubes reviews also don't tend to attract readers. That doesn't mean you shouldn't still review those product types, especially if that is what you are interested in. Just be prepared that certain product types just don't interest readers as much.

I do have a small handful of reviewers that I will follow ... more
Two awesome reviewers! Stainedclear just helped me pick out my 100th review item.

Well, I mainly tried the lube because people suggested using it with toys. I had never tried it before.

It's her "fault" that I bumped the Mimi and got the G-Ki last week instead.

Now I'm going crazy waiting for it.

Also, even if you are already an Advanced Reviewer, you can still learn new things working with a mentor to improve your reviewing skills.

She does write a hell of a review! I have an alert set to read all of her reviews.

I recently graduated but am thinking of going again for help with the dvd/book review angle.

So true. I'm about to work with Julia on my first two lingerie reviews. I want to do a good enough job that the "powers that be" will consider me for plus-size lingerie descriptive reviews.

So I decided to ask the best to help me! She even helped me pick out my first two items.

I need to do that. Thanks to her - G-Ki is going on sale in our store in mid-December for 20% off. (Five items will be on sale altogether). But her review sold me on it and convinced me that I had to get it - and offer it on sale in my store (hope I can say that here).

Each mentor can offer you something different, and we are all very different in terms of our approach. If he is still mentoring, Viktor would be a great choice to help with DVD reviews.

IF you do Plus size reviews let me know. I have been looking for reviews on lingerie for bigger girls. Everything seems to stop at size 38 breasts.
