One of my very special friends runs a gear review site called GearWeAre.com. It reviews outdoor gear, and it does it brilliantly. Sometimes, I test stuff out and then write about it.
My two most recent reviews are on running gear: a Smartwool running top and a pair of Smartwool short shorts.
Shorts with secret pants
It’s a great way to get your name and writing out there; a bit of a guest blogging cheat, if you will. In this game, it’s most definitely who you know. Jon Morrow would agree with this (and he’d also tell you that you need good topics, great headlines and super-duper useful content).
So, if you know someone who runs a review site, do a bit of research. Find out what they review, then search the site. See a gap? Get the gear, write a review, submit it. You never know, it could become a regular gig.
If you’d like me to review anything for you, give me a shout on 07814 577217. Or contact me via my form. I’ll consider anything, and every review will be completely honest. So if you’re after guaranteed positive reviews, keep walking.
