Product reviews are a great venue for bloggers to get the word out. In fact, almost every blogger writes them, but the problem is that the reviews aren’t always good ones. Some focus on highlighting the negative aspects and disregard the good ones, while others simply don’t provide enough details and leave their readers unsure and uninformed.
Este infografía from Vendasta shows just how large a role product reviews play in influencing people’s purchasing decisions.
Whether you blog about gadgets, fashion, or fishing, the rules for writing an effective review remains the same. All you have to do is make sure that it’s well-structured, thoroughly researched, and covers all the important details.

The 3 Popular Approaches to Writing Product Reviews
Below, you’ll find tried and tested methods of creating a product review that’s sure to create a surge in your commissions:
Method 1 – Stick squarely to the facts.
If you’re reviewing an electronic gadget, and one with complex features, it’s best to stick to facts and avoid purposeless statements that don’t add anything relevant. This is because the type of people who usually shop for gadgets are looking for something specific, such as a performance evaluation, a list of specifications, and a comparison chart that includes other similar products.
Method 2 – Feed your readers the benefits.
Another school of thought to crafting killer product reviews is to shower the audience with all the advantages of using the product. We’re not advocating this ourselves, but it is a method that’s proven to work for many bloggers. One approach you can take is to do this only with exceptional products that have little to no negative customer reviews.
Method 3 – A mix of ‘factual’ and ‘feel good’.
La tercera escuela de pensamiento, y la que nosotros recomendamos, consiste en escribir reseñas que combinen información relevante (con pros y contras) con elogios sinceros. El objetivo es proporcionar a los lectores todo lo que necesitan saber y, al mismo tiempo, destacar lo que hace que el producto destaque.
Conozca a su público objetivo
Always know who you are writing for. This is a fantastic way of tailoring the product review to appeal to your readers. If you don’t have a lot of data on your target audience, then hold off writing the review until you do. One way to do this is to think about who would likely buy the product and what they would use it for.
Por ejemplo, si quiero escribir sobre zapatillas de entrenamiento, adaptaré mi reseña para atraer a los entusiastas del fitness, los que van al gimnasio y los aficionados al deporte.
Otros aspectos a tener en cuenta sobre su público objetivo:
- Edad
- Género
- Condición social
- Intereses
- Comportamiento de compra
Investigar
The road to writing product reviews is paved with research – MUCHA investigación. If you’ve owned or used the product before, it will be easier. If not, you’ll need to throw yourself into the research until you have a strong grasp of what the product is and isn’t, what it can and can’t do, and what support people can expect from the maker or manufacturer of the product.
Más consejos:
- Get information about the product that others don’t have to get an edge over the competition. You’ll sound like an expert and be more likely to establish trust with your readers.
- Don’t be afraid to contact the manufacturer/creator to get more information about certain features of a product.
- Comprueba tanto las mejores como las peores críticas del producto y fíjate si encuentras una tendencia, y menciónala.

La estructura
No existe una forma absoluta de estructurar una reseña de producto. Puede optar por copiar la estructura utilizada por sitios de reseñas famosos, o bien crear su propia estructura. La mayoría de las grandes reseñas incluirán todos o algunos de los siguientes componentes:
- Un titular
- Presentación del producto
- Enlace al producto
- Una lista de las principales características y especificaciones
- Primer subtítulo para una de las características clave
- Párrafo sobre la característica clave
- Segundo subtítulo para otra característica clave
- Párrafo sobre la característica clave
- Resumen de las opiniones y puntuaciones de los clientes
- Un párrafo en el que se enumeren algunos aspectos negativos del producto (lo ideal sería incluir unas líneas en las que se mencionen las ventajas del producto a pesar de sus inconvenientes para terminar con una nota positiva).
- Breve conclusión que vincule todos los puntos principales
El tono de la escritura
As a blogger, you’ve probably adapted a writing tone that your readers are already familiar with. If so, stick with it. While most guides will tell you to sound professional and authoritative, it’s also a good idea to escribir con naturalidad so you don’t sound overly promotional.
What you can do is stick to neutral language when giving an impression of a product. This will help to inform readers without making them question what your intentions are. Also, maintain a conversational tone, use frequently the worlds ‘you’ and ‘your’, and avoid unnecessary jargon.
Contenido
Un gran modelo a tener en cuenta a la hora de redactar el contenido es AIDA. Significa Concienciación (o Atención), Interés, Deseoy Accióny es utilizado por innumerables empresas de todo el mundo para el marketing y la publicidad. Básicamente, son las etapas por las que debe pasar todo cliente para llegar al resultado deseado: una venta. Y funciona igual de bien para las reseñas de productos.

Another great rule to follow when writing product reviews is to make the content ‘skimmable’. This means párrafos cortos, utilice subtítulos con frecuencia (pero no demasiado), y asegúrese de incluir palabras clave sin relleno. Las palabras clave deben encajar con fluidez en el texto y no sonar forzadas.
Asegúrese de que su evaluación del producto es equilibrado. As mentioned above, mention both the pros and cons, always share how well the product works for its intended purpose, and tell readers if it’s a smart buy. To end everything on a positive note, repeat one of the best qualities of the product.

Writing the killer content required a lot of practice, now a days, if you are new and doesn’t know much about the product it is hard for you to become a good writer. You should know about the product to that extent like you have used it quite well. Now google is also asking the same. Google wanted from the web master that they first use the product after that use it from the content.
I’ve read the entire article, and I’m eager to learn more about my audience because doing so will certainly help me increase my affiliate links’ revenue.
What you can do is stick to neutral language when giving an impression of a product.
