I would like to review some of the products I've been using, looking for information on this topic

Hello all,
I've found myself using a lot of different brand products recently, and the ones that stand out the most would have to be Asus, Cooler Master, DIYPC, Nvidia, and Seasonic.

I would like to publish reviews of the products I've used, but would also like to get these companies in on it and maybe get a little cash from providing them the spotlight in my positive reviews. It would also be more fair this way, since most of these companies (if not all) provide something called a review guide which I'm guessing is a set of guidelines for a reviewer to follow.

Anyways, I'd like to know if this would be a good thing to get into, and if so, how do I get these companies to notice me?

Thanks to all that reply.

You do that by building up a large following first.
Make some vids. Review some parts. Build some stuff.

Once you have several thousand faithful followers, someone at corporate may notice you. Or not.
But you have to do the work first. They will not come to you.

And your onscreen presence is as much a part of it as all the other stuff. Do you engage with the audience?
Production quality. How is the camera work? Shaky closeups with poor scene cuts doesn't win anything.
Loyalty. You need to have many, many people coming back to watch you...over and over.

Any fool with a webcam can throw some crap up on youtube. And they do.
