How to review a gadget in your blog?

September 28th, 2008 | View Comments

Disclaimer: I am not a pro in writing reviews, but have experimented things with this, so trying to share what i could find and tell those in this post.

Reviewing gadgets is nothing hard, if you have it in your hand. As you just have to write about it, explain its parts and features, the goods and bads, the interface and most of your work is finished. But the point is that you are not writing the review for yourself to read. You expect others to read it fully and understand what the gadget is. Everything from your view!

Not everyone would be interested in reading reviews, unless you write them in a proper manner. This was the mistake i made earlier, and had static reviews written with no proper structure, so the readers to that post were not certainly interested to read the review, fearing that they would be confused with the loads of matter written there, without any headings.

So after some checks about my previous reviews and comments to them, i came to a conclusion with proper structure for the review post. Here is how a review post would go from now on, and i suggest other bloggers too to review a gadget in this manner.

  1. Introduction
  2. External Features
  3. Other specifications
  4. Interface of the gadget, especially mobile phone
  5. Summary
  6. A few pros and cons

Introduction would contain what actually the gadget is, is it released already or any date of release! And the brand name etc.

Pros and cons are not necessary to be included in every review, as some standard gadgets, like the ones from Nokia, are just launched with nothing new in them.
The most important would be the Summary part in which you can specify which is the best thing you liked about the gadget and who it would be useful for.

My future reviews from now would be in this format, i hope my readers would love the reviews!
