You can still give a quality review on a product you've never used as long as you do quality research on that product. Remember, you're doing the research so that someone else doesn't have to. When someone reads your review they don't need for you to have physically handled the product, they want product specs, pros, cons, etc... Do your due diligence the same way you would as a consumer and create a review that is thorough and any reader will still be very appreciative of your efforts. Venture outside Amazon to find products that have their own affiliate program that has higher commissions. You have an infinite horizon in front of you to take advantage of regardless of your niche. You'll get there. Don't worry!

Agreed -- this was helpful to me as well..!

Glad to be of some help.

Thank you so much! It really helped, I'm feeling more confident now :)

I'm really glad it helped you out :)

Your website looks very nice and appealing, just one suggestion on my part try to place the social media bar somewhere else but not on the left side, it is very annoying when reading.

About your reviews and sale. I do understand your concern and I am with you. You only like to promote what you personally have tested and that's fine, but to be fair you can't "test" any product out there on the market yourself unless you really want to, but to be fair this is almost impossible.

Since you have mentioned Amazon what you can do is to promote products which already have a high rate of reviews on Amazon and have gotten a 4-5 Star rating.

Some people deliberately will place the products they are promoting on their site with the star rating being visible.

This too will give you more variety to your site and your targeted niche.
You certainly can't do all the reviews by yourself all the time but you can do intensive research on a product and see what the overall opinion might be.


I hope my point of view has given you some ideas on how to handle your concern. :)

Thank you so very much for having a look and offering suggestions and really thank you for responding... it really helped!

Hello -- there are thousands of products to promote, from personal care items to items for the home, all falling under the natural care umbrella -- it's not only about actual "items" but you are selling a lifestyle, and that includes HOW people live their lives. From yoga to meditation, to hair gel and shampoo, to exercise and soy candles and books to read -- there are so many items you can promote.

As for reviewing items -- I don't believe that you have to actually TRY all the items you are reviewing, although some people here would probably disagree with me. I think it is important to KNOW about the items you are reviewing -- enough so that you can review them.

If you know for a fact that such and such an item is excellent because yada yada, then you can safely review it, and do some research online to enhance your review, but don't copy anyone else's articles.

I hope this helps, and keep me posted!
