MAKE CASH ONLINE REVIEWING NEW MUSIC

In my last post I spoke about "piece meal"-ing a bunch a gigs to get me closer to living full time in Costa Rica on US. dollars. Although this latest entry is not an lucrative gig, it sure is fun. The site is called Slicethepie. The site offers lay and experienced critics to review upcoming artists. Your constructive criticism allows feedback to the artists. As I said before the pay is not lucrative. For about a 4-5 sentence review pay is about 11 cents paying up to 30 cents depending on your content. The systems does detect spam and shallowing commenting. It is important to use colorful and meaningful adjectives. The system also detects repetitive use of words and content. Payment is made via paypal so keep this in mind at sign up to ensure proper routing of funds. With payment on the average of .10 cents per 90 second music sampling I figure I could average about 2.50 an hour.  This is something I could do for about an half hour to an hour a day giving me about 30.00 dollars a month. Which is ironically the electric bill  ( so says my landlady ) at my Costa Rican home. Please note, there is a timing system that does " time out ". So listen a little take a break and come back.  This feature is beneficial for it refreshes the mind and allow for quality input.

Please resist the urge to download "bots" found on YouTube. This is cheating ( in my opinion ). This is what artist are using for actual feedback. After all music is for the soul, so lets speak from it. Taking the "bot" approach may very well be allowing "Junk" to enter the radio waves . Although these "bots" allow you to choose your adjectives, it still gives the feel of being generic. If you are at lost of words, just use a thesaurus.  Call me a purest but when it comes to music, should we all be?
