WANTED: Homeschool Bloggers! Applications are NOW open for 2016 Schoolhouse Review Crew

Review Crew
Did you read my last school update? Did you read my last product review? Have you ever read about a product and thought to yourself, "That would be nice, but we can't afford that..." or "I can't justify buying that product... We'll get by with what we've got."

Have you ever read the disclaimer at the bottom of a review, understood that the reviewer received the product in exchange for the review, and thought to yourself, "Man, I wish I'd gotten that product! I could write a review!"
Crew Disclaimer

The Old Schoolhouse Homeschool Review Crew is accepting applications! Before I tell you more about that, though, let me show you some products I have received for free this year in exchange for my honest review.

Do I have your attention? Or did I lose you? I really did get all this stuff free in 2015 in exchange for my honest review.

And I want to tell you how you might get free stuff like this in 2016!


  • First of all you must be a homeschool mom or dad. You don’t have to homeschool all of your children, but you must homeschool at least one.
  • You must be willing to use the review products with your students for about six weeks in your homeschool, before writing your review. Review periods have deadlines and requirements for the reviews. You must be willing to follow our requirements. No, that doesn’t mean you must write a positive review. And we don’t tell you what to write. But there are minimum requirements for length and certain elements that must be included with every review.
  • You must have an active blog on which to publish your reviews, and a minimum number of followers.
  • It will be required that you publish at least one non-promotional post per week while on the Crew, about anything you like- homeschooling, family or just your day to day life.
  • Your blog should have followers — RSS feed or email subscribers and social media followers. I’m sorry, but we don’t accept brand new bloggers who just set up their blogs for the purposes of applying to our team. We need established bloggers who like to write and enjoy the social media aspect of blogging.
  • Activity on at least one social media platform to help promote your blog is a requirement to serve on the Crew. Which one is up to you — Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or Pinterest.
  • You will need to commit to promoting your reviews in social media.
  • You must be willing to check into our Review Management forum. This is where we communicate with our team. We do everything possible to make things easy for you, outside of writing the actual review, but you need to be willing to participate by checking in daily with the exception of weekends, and complete required forms when reviews become available.
  • You will also be required to post your reviews in prescribed windows of time, and link them up here on our blog.
  • Sample reviews are helpful. If you’ve never written a review on your blog, go ahead and write one for curriculum you are currently using in your homeschool. This will help us see how you approach writing reviews. You will be required to link to a review in the application. You may also be asked to write a review with instructions we will provide to you.
  • If you can meet these requirements and would like the opportunity to join the Schoolhouse Review Crew 2016, watch the blog next week. You can subscribe here so you don’t miss the announcement. We will announce when we are accepting applications here first!
