    I actually have a channel where a couple guys on this website(Sage o' G-fruit, Delta, Robticon)and I review things. YouTube - JKProductions77's Channel I'm really new at it, though.

    There are many things to review. Video games, movies, toys, music, etc. just to name a few.

    Are you planning on doing video or written reviews?

    Not sure exactly, alot of suggestions I originally was going to make have already been done.

    You need to think of something that is popular, but unique and different from everything else. Something alot of people are in possession of.

    Go to various message boards about toys, and review and rate how well they are at giving medical advice.

    Whatever you do, do it differently. Otherwise you're a dime a dozen and no one will care what you do.

    Pillow cases.

    Sometimes I think that because it says silk that it must be more comfortable, but then I hear about thread counts and I think that I could be wrong. I was wrong about the cheese in the fridge. I didn't discover my mistake until lunch time which wouldn't be too big a problem except I ate my cookies first. Heck, I thought, I'm 30-something; I can eat my dessert first and know it's not going to ruin my appetite for lunch. By the time I realized my error it was too late to go out and get something and get back in time. So I had to buy one of those crappy prefab sandwiches out of the vending machine. Now don't get me wrong. The sandwich wasn't too bad but the point of taking my own lunch to work is to save money. So now I've had to dip into my linens budget to the tune of three dollars and seventy-five cents so I'm wondering if I'll still get a comfortable night's rest on the generic cotton brand and save a few dollars because after trying the roast beef, I really want to give the chicken salad in the machine a shot.

    whatever you do, do it better than a lot of reviewers. i can't tell you how many vidz i have seen where they record in dark places, or think Michael Bay's shaky-cam is great for toy reviews, or people that don't know what a dinosaur is reviewing a dinobot.

    in other words, do a little homework. fill out a few index cards with 4-5 lines of notes or work from an outline. the less apologizing, less "dunno what that is", "ummms," and other forms of dumbspeak in a 5 minute video, the better.

    make whatever you review your own.

    but really, since you are asking us, you sound like you really don't want to review anything to begin with. if ya got a hankering for something, the ideas flow easily, that's what i am saying.

    This.

    But instead of rating the action rate the interior (or exterior if it's a yard/pool scene) decor.

    "As one can see just behind the lead actress's head as it bobs up and down that potted fern is placed in such a way it compliments the highlights in the wallpaper pattern"

    If you need advice on what to review, you obviously don't possess the creative thought to review anyway.

    This is going to shock you, but people ages 15-99 from the male side of the human race have enough of a sense of humor to shrug and find a joke like that funny.

    Review money. Thats right, review the new designs for dollars and assorted coinage. The reverse on those new pennies look awesome, but I'm not sure if I should go for em yet. I was really disappointed when I upgraded to the new big head 100 dollar bill.
