Slicethepie!

Slicethepie is not about food, or pie, but rather about music. It's a music review website where you, the listener, ultimately get paid for your opinion. I actually rather enjoy this one, as it's quite different from my usual foray. It helps (and pays!) to know some music-related lingo when you write your reviews. You're only required to listen to the random track they throw at you for 90 seconds, then you can submit what you've written (assuming you've typed up your thoughts as the song plays--the best method, by far). Depending on the details you've provided and the amount you've typed up, you'll earn different amounts. I believe your rank, which goes up with more and more quality reviews, also determines your base earning rate.

Reviewers should note what they thought of the intro, the instrumentation, the overall song structure, how the vocals sounded or if they could understand the lyrics and so on. It's really not too demanding or difficult to type up a decent review in 90 seconds and hit submit. When I was on a fierce kick of doing these reviews I was, at my rank, earning .20ish a review. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but for listening to music and throwing it your opinion, it isn't too rough, especially if you do it off and on like I do.

It is unfortunate you can't select your favorite genres, and your musical tastes don't factor in at all for that matter. I get to hear lots of music that I honestly just can't find myself appreciating. That's when I tend to be a bit more harsh with my reviews. It's enjoyable still, in its own way.

I recommend checking Slicethepie out. It's different, it's actually kind of fun which is sort of rare for these review type sites, and it's worth a shot. You can transfer your earnings directly into PayPal once you meet the threshold of $5.00, which I achieved within a week of very off-and-on reviewing.

If you check it out, I would very much appreciate you using my referral link. Thanks guys. Have fun.
