That has to be the thing I change the most often on video reviews.

The last word is "Review".

So if the review was on the Big blue butt plug with decoder ring, the title would be "Big Blue Butt Plug Review"

I was out of the program in under a month. I chose a product, while I was waiting for it, I reviewed something I already owned off of the site and was done lickety split! If you work hard and review products you have received as assignment only you can still get it done in roughly a month.

Average depends on the student. The minimum is two reviews. I had one student that only did two and was so good I passed him, while another did four before he felt he was ready. I have two right know that are going one five or six. (They are already ... more
Thanks! How, in your opinion, do you know when to graduate someone? Is there something in particular you look for?

Editors and EdenTasks are staffed for now.

You don't have to talk during a video review. The creativity is all up to you!

Like maybe get a piece of posterboard and put bullet points on it or something similar?

Any other problems that you have to fix regularly? Just want to make sure I do them right.

Right something I can see but no one else lol. If not it would take 30 takes to get it right for me.

if it looks good...see how it looks during the video. You might be able to insert a screen shot or turn a power point presentation into a video...been a while since I've played around with software like that.

Is a staff position opens up, how can users of EF know about it and maybe apply for the position?

I don't know how Dwtim does it, but I pass my students once I am confident that they can submit a quality review (well written and complete) without my assistance.

We love students like you! It's nice to know we are helping you, but I think it is important for you to know that your hard work and dedication is REALLY appreciated as well.
Awwws, thank you soo much! I really like programs like the mentor program. It helps me focus and keeps me on track and I do honestly think the best way to learn is from someone who's gone through what you're currently doing.

Titles (first letter of each word is capitalized)

Tags, make sure they fit with the product. Getting rid of "vibe" as a tag.

Descriptions, try using the summary of the review for the description. That is a good thing to try. I also like "The (product) by (product's maker) is a (type of toy)..."

I agree, I was glad to see there was a mentor program, so much easier to learn how to review properly with guidance from someone who has been where you are

I've been wondering this too... I mean, can you just keep going and going for the sake of gaining more knowledge or improving writing about products you're less familiar with?

Editors proof reviews that come in for spelling and grammar issues, mostly.
