Quarantine gave many of us some extra time to finally pursue things we didn't have time for before. Many young entrepreneurs got to launch their dream businesses, others started passion projects, while some took on side hustles for additional income. Some picked up old and new hobbies, like finally getting into K-Dramas or reading more books.
If you're someone who's a certified bookworm and wants to earn a little from your hobby, be on the lookout for online stints that match your specialty. Heck, there exists a website that pays you for reviewing a book!
Yup, meet Booklist—a website that regularly looks for people to review books. As part of the American Library Association, Booklist releases reviews to guide school and public library workers in buying and suggesting books.
Here's how you can earn extra cash by doing a book review:
Who can apply?
A library degree is not required to apply as a reviewer, you just have to be familiar with books and libraries to be considered. It is also expected that interested applicants must be timely with meeting deadlines and know that plagiarism is a huge no-no. Applicants are also encouraged to be as specific as possible when stating their book preferences and areas of expertise so they can match you with books that are to your liking.
How much does it pay?
According to Booklist's website, they pay $15 per review (that's roughly P715) once it is published in their magazine or online. Do note, however, that there is also a corresponding fee of $5 for every time you reject a book.
How can I apply?
If you're interested to send in an application, you can fill out the Booklist Reviewer Application, which you'll find on their website. Through the application, you will be asked for your book preferences as well. Once you submit your application, a Booklist editor will get in touch with you to discuss if you're the right fit for any of their openings.
