How do I become a reviewer?

Steps

1. 1Sign in with Google or your email and open the reviewer area at /review.
2. 2Fill in your profile — age band, household income band, where you live (US West, US Mountain, US Midwest, US South, US Northeast, Canada, UK / Europe, Australia / NZ, Somewhere else), country, the devices you can record on, whether you run a business, and a short bio. Targeted burns are matched on these, and you only see the ones you fit, so be accurate. If we ever change the options, your reviewer home asks you to confirm the affected answer.
3. 3Claim a burn from the queue and record it. There's no unpaid test: your first burn is a real, paid one.
4. 4Your first burn is auto-checked — at least two minutes, real narration, talking about the site. Pass and it goes to the site owner; if it's borderline, a person looks at it first. More on approval.

The claim rules

• A claim gives you 60 minutes to record and submit. After that, the burn goes back to the queue.
• An upload still in progress gets 15 extra minutes.
• Can't finish? Press Give it back on the burn page. No penalty.
• Three claims that run out within 7 days pause claiming for 24 hours.

What you need

• A computer with Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari and a microphone, or a phone that can screen-record.
• A quiet room, and the willingness to say what you actually think.
• That's it. Approved burns pay up to $2.00 each (how reviewer pay works) and earn Heat Points, which unlocks levels, badges, priority access and free burns of your own site.
