If you're looking to pad your wallet with some extra green, this guide will help you get paid for your opinion of movies.

Step 1: Pick films you like
Pick films that you know you will like. This doesn't mean you can't write a negative review, but don't pick something you know you'll hate.

Step 2: Read a lot of reviews
Read a lot of movie reviews in magazines, newspapers, or on the internet to learn the basic structure and format of a review.

Step 3: Be honest
Pick a clear stance and give a clear reason why you either liked or disliked a specific person, a part of the film, or the whole film.

Tip
Always be committed and speak from the heart -- don't be pretentious by liking or disliking something because a majority of people do.

Step 4: Inject personality
Inject your own personality and voice into each review and use punchy wording and phrases.

Step 5: Post online
Post your reviews online and locate sites that will share advertising royalties with their writers based on the number of visitors they attract.

Step 6: Segue to print
Segue to newspapers or magazines by building a portfolio to show off and to grow your online audience. Soon you'll be as famous as Siskel and Ebert.
