Get paid to write music reviews

Slicethepie

Unsigned music review site Slicethepie pays you for each song you rate. As you build up a reputation, you can earn more. Read the site's tutorials before you start.

Typically, a dedicated fan willing to put in a couple of hours each night could expect to earn around £30/month, though forumites report this can vary. The amount you earn from each review differs depending on the track, length and detail of the review.

You can also earn more by encouraging friends to sign up - you'll receive a bonus of 10% of their earnings so, if they earn $0.20 for a review, you'll get $0.02.
