I did 2 video reviews yesterday, they weren't as hard but I wonder what all should be included in those.

You can do a video review on anything. You only need to contact Carrie Ann if you want to be paid for it.

Don't forget to read the Video Review Guidelines and understand them before you put up your review.

There is a video guideline to read on the community page or in your dashboard under the FAQ.

although you can always do a video review, carrie ann will give you permission to do vid reviews for $25 gift cards, if they've not already had a video review, and are not discontinued.

But if you do a video review and she has another one lined up - doesn't it mess things up for her?

I did a video review and was about to submit it and noticed someone else had posted a video review. I contacted her and asked her what to do - she told me to submit mine.

The other one wound up getting pulled.

So that is why I figured you had to contact her.

I think ideally a video review should highlight features that a written review may not convey as well. For example, softness or flexibility of a particular toy. It shouldn't be a complete regurgitation of all information in a written review.

Yeah, I'm the guy who goes through and renames/retags the videos. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask first.

An important note from the guidelines:

A video review can only be done if you've written up a text review on the product. Your video review will be attached to the written text review that you wrote

If its about a vibrator - you darn well better turn the thing on and let us listen to the various speeds.

If I watch one more vibrator review where I can't hear the thing - I'm gonna scream!

actually i think you can upload vid reviews via edentube without writing a review first.

Ugh, I know!! I avoid certain contributors videos after watching a few of theirs and them not showing that, or other key information. Its like they do it just to get their gc. It makes me crazy.

Not yet, have to wait for the old man to come home before purchasing them. He has the card, but I want to.

I don't know the details, but you can do a video review and attach it to your own review, even if there is already a video review. You just won't get a GC for it.
