How can I become a PC Tech reviewer?

[Brian Wood]

As the title suggests, I want to do this. I love computer technology and I want to give people my review and my take on products. I know many tech reviewers are hard to beat but I don't care about that. It's something I am interested in.

start up a blog, review stuff you own, stuff your friends own. Take good photos, be concise, triple check grammar and spelling. Get followers through youtube, facebook, twitter, etc. Approach companies with products asking for some for testing. Get new stuff to review. Get more followers since you have newer stuff. Get more stuff since you have good reviews. Get advertisers on board to be on your site. Repeat.

Really, without getting a company on board, there is no way to compete. You can't possibly do a 20-video card benchmark roundup unless you get 20 cards sent to you, and that's only going to happen with you getting advertisers and support from companies.

From what I have gathered just following Linus, make videos and content as a hobbyist, with no expectation of making money. If the stars align and your entertaining enough something might happen from it.
In this video Linus goes through his backstory becoming a tech reviewer and fields questions about it.

also it would of great benefit to do something that the larger reviewers tend to NOT do which is to show benchmark results for low, medium, high and ultra results at different resolutions for all of the cards.

finding ultra or high level benchmarks is easy however finding low level ones can be difficult for most games.

@damien

you should remove your email address from this thread (or the spam bots on the internet will find it)

instead you should directly pm the OP of this thread with your contact information (safer since the bots wont find it there)

 

[manofchalk]

Yup, PM the man the email address.

Hey! Don't know if this post is active anymore, but I'm interested in becoming a tech reviewer. Got pretty good knowledge about it and my English skills might just make it through the editorial section, haha. Please PM if you'd like to work with me!
