So, how to write a great & useful review? We’re here to share three tips and tricks on how to write an awesome review.

1. Select high-quality photos or videos

Example of great reviews Example of great reviews

If you’re dining at a restaurant, choose photos that give our community a good sense of your experience, including the dish and ambience of the restaurant. If you’re reviewing a food product, include images that clearly show the product name, brand, and any other relevant labels. Showing parts of the packaging such as the ingredients are helpful to members who may have food restrictions or preferences.

Pictures should:

Be sharp, clear, and well-lit

Be eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing

Include the brand name, relevant ingredients and/or labels (if applicable)

Include the entire dish (if applicable)

Include the restaurant ambience (if applicable)

2. Add a useful and detailed description

descriptive review descriptive review

Imagine you’re a food tour guide and someone asks you where to find the best vegan pizza. What would you say?

You’d probably want to share all the flavors, textures, and emotions you experienced while eating that dish or product. The more descriptive or informative your review is, the more useful it is for our members.

Here are some questions to help guide your review:

How did the dish or product really taste?

Was it as good or bad as expected?

What was the experience like dining at the restaurant?

How vegan-friendly was the restaurant? Did they offer many or few vegan dishes?

Was the product packaging informative or attractive?

How much did you end up paying for the dish or product?

Which retailer did you buy this product from?

We value authenticity and honesty. If your experience wasn’t great, describe it to us. This will help businesses to improve their options while helping the community make better choices.

3. Add relevant hashtags and tags

Help more people discover the food you reviewed by including relevant hashtags, labels, and tags. For inspiration, check out some of the most popular hashtags on abillion. Include any sustainability labels that might be relevant for the product you’re reviewing, such as #compostablepackaging, #local, and more. And if you dined out with anyone in the abillion community, tag them in your review.

We’re so excited to see all the amazing reviews you’ll write to drive real impact.

abillion strives to continuously improve your reviewing experience. Please feel free to share your feedback to [email protected].

This is a great checklist! Any plans of adding a 4:5 photo aspect or a "stories" feature to show the full product, packaging and ingredients (without the post being super long)?

Is this why the review system changed? The more complete my review is, the more it is valued? For my last review i gol 1.5 dollars, but 1 dollar was automatically donated to Abillion equity and only 0.5 cents was added to the miney I can donate.

Yes that’s correct. And now instead of $1 you can earn a total of $2. It’s not easy but keep trying 🌞

Hi, how can I donate the money I earn for reviews? The whole reward system changed but now there’s no button to donate what we earn for reviews. Please show where should we find that.

After you earn credits to donate… Hit the impact button on the bottom right screen of the app.

Can you show a few reviews as examples of ones that earned $2 rewards, please?

I would like to see that too because it sure seems very automated (no one actually looking at them and deciding). Seems like $1.40 is what I get on just about every review, no matter how much or how little effort I put into the photos, reviews, and with or without hashtags. And it shows what I earn immediately after I submit my review. I think AI has a mind of their own what points we should get, and decided to keep it simple with me, lol.

No you don’t. You can still keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll get donation credits 💪🏽

How do i choose the charity to donate to? I cant find that info anywhere

After you earn credits to donate… Hit the Impact image at the bottom right corner of your app and you’ll be able to choose which charity or charities you want to donate to.

Good advise but its realllllyyyy hard to post good pictures from the past after discovering that they do not fit the aspect ratio. Please remove the image ratio mandate ...
REPLY
@bandita profile image
I find it frustrating too that abillion photos are only square. When I take a photo, I use the square option on my iPhone, so that I know how it’ll look. Now that I have an iPhone 13, it’s even more involvement just to get the square option.

I've been consistently getting $1.70, even when I add mutliple photos, hashtags, and include detailed descriptions. Do I need to have a higher character count and hashtags in my descriptions to reach the full $2 or is there something else I should be doing?
REPLY
@iszy profile image
Having at least 5 hashtags seems to set me up for $1.80 consistently.
REPLY
@bandita profile image
Thank you! I’ve been wondering for a long time what I need to do to up my credits!
REPLY
@iszy profile image
I think the cap is now at $1.70 unfortunately. :/ But you still need hashtags to get it to that.
REPLY
@bandita profile image
Oh, ok. I just posted a review with 12 hashtags, but only got $1.50, so I still need to figure out how to up my game. I checked out some of your reviews though, and I have to admit, you write really nice reviews! Thank you for setting great examples!

Thanks for this - I'll try to pep up my reviews. Cheers #abillion

Personally, I wouldn’t have had a problem with this if the most part of the review money wasn’t automatically donated to abillion. On a 1.60€ review, 1€ goes in equity and 0.60€ I can donate. I would have wanted it to be the other way around. I do believe in abillion’s mission and would be happy to donate! But this feels forced and “not right” to me. Hope this can change. Would be more than happy to do this if it was the other way around 😌

Do we get paid for every review?
REPLY
@thedarktower profile image
You earn credits for every review that go into abillion equity and a portion of it you can donate to charity of your choice, using the impact button in the bottom right of the app.

@peter-plant-power profile image
Hi @abillion10 , thanks for this guide. Tip: in the list of preferred/frequently used hashtags that are proposed when writing a review, there is the hashtag #unsustainable ... but that doesn't make sense, does it? Can you replace it by #sustainable ? Thanks!

Yay 👍🏽 ‼️ we want to review books, magazines, & movies ,too por favor‼️ Their is no section yet

@ro-ngodrup-dorje profile image
I actually would prefer if I could choose myself if I want to give to abillion equity or not, like before. I’d prefer if I could donate again to the cause of my choice whatever I gain.

I just posted a fairly detailed review with pics of the food, the menu, the outside and inside and included several hashtags and still only got $1.70. It’s pretty frustrating.

Is it possible to get a full dollar in donation credits? It might be time to update this since it's been a couple years and the donation credits seem to fluctuate between capping at $0.70 and $0.80! Or if it is possible to get a full dollar in donation credits, show examples of reviews that have achieved that!
