I had a message today from someone who wanted to learn more about how the review program worked and how you get products. I broke the information down into a series of messages back and as I was sharing about this with my family, they suggested I share this here too. So here goes...

Hi! First of all - please feel free to ask me to go into further detail on anything you don't understand - ok?

Eden Fantasys will send you FREE products to review - but first you must become an advanced reviewer.

There are two ways to do this. The best way is to get a mentor who will work with you. Basically, you will write your reviews and submit them to the mentor who will send them back to you with suggestions on how to improve. You edit the review and this process goes back and forth until the mentor feels your review is ready to be published. This happens for a minimum of 2 reviews. Once the mentor feels you're ready to graduate - they will graduate you and you are now an advanced reviewer.

If you do not have products to review - there is a way that a mentor can request something up to $30 in value for you to review. I'm not sure on all the details about this as I've never had to do it.

The other way to become an advanced reviewer is to write a minimum of two reviews and then go before the community for a vote. Once you receive 5 votes, which is very easy, then you are an advanced reviewer and can request free products.

I'm going to go into requesting the free products in the next message and send this one off.

I will say that I think getting a mentor is the best way to go because you tend to get higher / better votes which leads to higher ranking which leads to higher $$ limit on the products you can request for free.

I reminded JR about this but I wanted to say it here as well, Newer Contributors need to know that if you apply to more than one mentor at a time it cancels the previous application, so look carefully and then pick the one you want to work with. Also give the mentor time to get the email saying that someone wants to join their class, it isn't sent the second you apply. If you want to let them know sooner,you can send the contributor a message on the site. Thanks HNSTM for this insight into the mentor/advanced reviewer programs. less

Thank-you so much for this explanation! On the Mentor Program Service Page under "My Student Program" it says that one needs to sign in to the advanced level contributor account in order to receive an assignment. I had assumed that this meant that I needed to be an advanced member before I could sign up for the mentorship program. Thanks for the clarification! less
