Be a Music Reviewer From Home - SlicethePie.com

SliceThePie


You can get paid as a music reviewer. Slice The Pie is a music reviewing website where they pay music fans to review music! Most of your reviews will return directly to unsigned artists to give them honest feedback.  This will help the company find the best artists to put forward for A&R opportunities and Radio placement.

At times, Slice The Pie  offers run fashion trials (on Slice The Pie Catwalk) where you can review clothing instead of music! They will email you when this project is open.

How does reviewing work on Slice The Pie?


Once you've logged in, you'll be taken to the Scout page. All you have to do is click the Play button and start listening to the track.

You can begin reviewing right away in the text box and when 90 seconds of the track have passed, you can rate it.  The rate is between 1 and 10 and you will choose a rating using the slider. Once you are done adding your reviewing, you can click “Submit” and  move on to the next review!

It’s really that simple!

How do I get paid?


Payment per review is based on your ranking. In order to earn more money, you must submit lengthy and well-written reviews in English. The better your review, the bigger your bonus payment. When giving a review, try your best to submit detailed, varied and constructive comments.  This will help artists improve their tracks.

Once you have made a minimum of $10, your earnings can be withdrawn to a PayPal account. PayPal payments take up to 5 working days to process because they will have to read all your reviews before paying you.

Overall thoughts as a current English coach?
