What if you could review software you use at work every day and receive a $10 Starbucks gift card? A for REAL gift card, not “entered into a drawing” nonsense?
Well, you can! We were contacted by both Capterra and G2, two companies that let the real experts – namely you and I, who actually use products everyday – review various software programs. They use this information to give credible advice on what software to use, and in return, they’ll pay you in an electronic Starbucks gift card.
Capterra VS G2
January 2019 Update: My original review of Capterra here has been removed as I’ve heard from more and more of you that they tend to shut down your accounts for faulty reasons and give you no chance at an appeal. I reached out to them for clarification and not only did it take them TWO WEEKS to respond (?!!) but they sent a form response that addressed none of the questions I’d sent them.
Capterra
I personally made $70 from Capterra and had no issues, in fact they offered me $100 to send ya’ll their way, but know this – I will ALWAYS choose honesty over money.
Unfortunately due to their poor customer services skills and the fact that they randomly close legitimate accounts, I cannot and will not recommend them. It’s not worth risking your time only for them to refuse to pay you out.
G2 Review
Reviews with G2 are more IT and HR oriented, so it’s conceivable that not everything you’ve got experience with will be something they need a review on, but it’s absolutely worth your time to check. Though you can only write 5 total reviews for G2, if they’re for under-reviewed software or something that is particularly important, they’ll pay you $10 for each one.
Like Capterra, G2 pays out in electronic gift cards to Amazon or Starbucks. It’s a nice way to get that coffee fix while you gear up for Black Friday shopping or sitting at home in your pajamas for Cyber Monday (which really depends on your personality, doesn’t it?)
The other benefit to G2 over Capterra is the turnaround on payout; G2 gets you your card in at most 48 hours. They process the reviews fairly but quickly and I love it!
Check out G2 and get to reviewing!
Out of curiosity, what’s your favorite software?
Comment below and let me know!
I was wondering if you can help me. I went through the sites and it just seems there aren’t obligated to do anything. Explain for me please( all the wanted was my linked in info) thank
You
So just go sign up and write a review! Have you used the products ?
Yes, you most definitely only want to review software that you yourself have actually used. For example, as a blogger, I use (and reviewed) Mailchimp, Mailerlite, Buffer, LeadPages, and many others.
This sounds like a great gig! Of course, like the previous commentor, I am curious about how credible it is…. Thanks for sharing.
I received all the payments owed to me, but have since heard from others that they were shut down for no reason and not paid what was owed to them. When I reached out to Capterra, they took nearly two weeks to answer and even then I was sent a form response. It was a pathetic attempt at “customer service” and I have updated this post to reflect as such. Definitely proceed with caution (if at all!)
