I now believe you understand exactly how a review blog looks. the issue on the ground now should be how to start a product review blog that pays. just relax as we go further.

Product Review Blog Examples

There are two dimensions of Review blogs: It can be a micro review blog or a Macro review Blog. Let me explain.

• A Micro Review Blog

This is a type of niche where you only review certain products, in that case, all your writings will be centred on just one particular product e.g. L.G Mobile Review Blog.

You won’t review other mobile products to expect the L.G-made products.

Weight Loss Review Blog. here every single review you write will be talking about one weight loss product or the other. etc……

• The Macro Review Niche

It’s the opposite of the micro review niche: You can review any product online as far as it’s reviewable.

Mobiles, Make money, Games, Apps, health etc just review any product on your blog. then we say you’re a macro niche review blogger

Micro Niche Vs Macro Nice Review Blog

Both niches are great but focusing on a certain product will make you find your way to success easily and at the same time gain authority as soon as possible compared to when blogging the mega niche.

When you review only games, the audience coming to your blog is already aware they are coming for game tips and other games-related stuff (they can easily subscribe, buy, or relate in other ways)

When you review health products your audience will keep coming back because they already know you for what you offer. the same thing applies to other micro niche review blogs but not when you review them at large.

I will say a micro-niche review blog is good for a start. Don’t get me wrong I said both are great but only sharing my point of view just like you have yours.

Now let’s assume you have in mind to blog mega or micro. follow the next step

How To Start Doing Reviews For Products in Nigeria

1. Pick A Name For Your Blog

I do advise you to always use a name that speaks for you instead of just choosing any name. Choose your blog name based on what you want to write about.

Not just choosing a related name but also making them easy to remember and easy to spell.

I am to review mobiles I will name my blog like. MobileReviewLab.com,CatchnewMobiles.com,CheaptoMobiles.com. etc. you can check out other extensions like .net, .com.ng, .org and the like.

2. Choose Your Blogging Platform

Blogspot isn’t as limited as it can be. be used to run a review blog but WordPress always wins the race… I will recommend you start your review blog like a professional using the WordPress platform.

There are many web hosting companies you can use in setting up your blog but my recommendation is always to go to DomainKing since that’s what I use in hosting all my blogs including this one you’re reading from.

All you need to do is buy hosting and a domain name Which you’ve got in mind already them set up your website. You can hire someone to help you do it if you aren’t good with WordPress 

3. Learn SEO

5. Start Publishing Articles

Remember, the type of article you’re going to publish will be based on the niche you’re blogging about. If you have chosen to do a micro review niche then you need to pick any high in-demand product online in which you will focus your writing.

At the same time, when you choose to blog all reviews, you can write reviews about any trending products from various sources. Remember all articles should be well-researched and SEO-minded.

It’s not a must you blog only the products you’ve tested but reviewing what you have tested will always be the best.

When you find the products you haven’t tested that you would want to review, you can consult others who have tested them. From their experience, you can put up a better review.

In most of your articles, you will be using affiliate links: Which means you would want to make your readers buy or take certain actions which might likely earn you some affiliate commissions.

Therefore you should make your articles eye-catching by using Bulleting, Nice fonts, Subheadings, descriptive images, etc. This will make your articles easy to read

6. Leverage Instagram and Facebook

With the emergence of social media in 2024, content creation has skyrocketed to another level. People are now consuming more content than ever before.

In 2024, there are estimated to be 5.17 billion total social media users worldwide. The average person uses 6.7 different social networks per month. The amount of time internet users spend on social media declined slightly to 143 minutes per day.

If I were to start a product review blog in 2024, I wouldn’t just be writing blog articles, I would also create an Instagram and TikTok where I would create short videos about my brand and products and then link people to my blog articles.

In this way, I will gain traffic from those coming to my site to watch videos and those coming to the blog to read them.

Video content continues to be popular, with 44% of people preferring to learn about new products through short video content and 87% of marketers reporting increased sales from video marketing.

With this stretagey, I can also run ads to promote my videos and get more leads and potential custumers to buy the products I’m reviewing.
