Whether you’re posting reviews on your blog, Amazon, Angie’s List, Google, Houzz, Jet, Walmart, Yelp!, or another third-party website — they all have one thing in common — shoppers will spend (or save) their hard-earned money based on your recommendation.

83% of consumers take action because of trusted recommendations”, and “92% of consumers trust word-of-mouth more than all other forms of advertising”, according to The Nielsen Company.

That stat shows just how powerful reviews are and the social responsibility influencers have when helping shoppers make wise decisions.

If you want to be a top reviewer who influences thousands, you'll need to write a helpful review.

People don't want to hear about just the cool product features or about what a product can do.

That is like meeting someone new and hearing the same robotic intro: “Hi, my name is John. I work at Tomoson. We team up with influencers to market products for brands.”

Yawn. Next robot (ahem)… I mean a real person, please.

People don’t want a spiritless stat sheet. They want to know how and why a product helped YOU personally — in real life, not in a galaxy far far away.

One secret to engaging the hearts of your audience with your product review is beginning with your mother in mind. For example, ‘dear mother', ‘dear spouse', ‘dear friend', etc… People love details and writing with one person in mind forces you to share specifics. It also tricks you into writing with a more friendly tone.

Just make sure you pretend to write to someone you like and want to help 😉
