Rate all reviews for the guide who looks after the category you've written in, it wont guarantee a crown but it might help Laughing

Well for starters you have got to think about what questions you would ask about the product, as a potential buyer. Then in a systematic order and with use of a spelling/grammar checker, go into detail about the product adding plenty of personal opinion. Also don't include lots of lists about a product, it's your experience of the product we want to know about. Lisa x

Take no notice.

Write your review, re-read it, make sure you put in everything that you think it needs, spell check it, and do the best you can. Remember about product reviews, a balance is required

1) the product itself and perhap what made you choose it against other similar products (only my opinion)
2) YOUR personal experience of the product
3) Some kind of conclusion.

These are just my thoughts.

I like to read abour personal usage. For example if you are reviewing a toy, I would like to know how well received it was by teh child and if they managed to do everyhting it ahd to offer, within the age range specified.

Tell us why you like/dislike something and always re-read and use a spell check!

What is "all necessary info" though? This is where many go wrong....

I don't think reviews need headings either. I can read quite well without them...reviews don't need headings for me to nominate, personally. In fact they often detract (especially when a five line paragraph appears at the end called "Opinion" ) Laughing

Headings seem to be a sticky issue with a lot of people, but readers who are dyslexic find them very helpful. Although I'm not dyslexic I'm aware that splitting a review into paragraphs with headings makes it easier for them to digest.
At the end of the day I think these help make the presentation of a longer review better, and that is one of the things i look for in deciding whether i think it's crown worthy or not. Lisa x
