Since 2018, I have been writing product reviews for Best Buy. I was surprised when they emailed me and asked if I wanted to be a Tech Insider. I assumed they discovered I was a Best Buy customer, a published writer, and that my social media network had over 8,000 followers.
My very first review was for a Dell Inspiron 3670 desktop computer system. Since then, I have written over 100 reviews about computers, home appliances, TVs, cameras, computer accessories, and even about a drone.
These reviews are aimed at the general consumer market, and thus, I present an informative, positive, and fair voice without getting into so many details that the reader is overwhelmed. Most of my reviews are in the four and five-star range. Do I ever present a bad review? Absolutely. While a bad review does not help Best Buy sell products, I feel I have to be honest as a writer. In one of my reviews, I gave an automobile dash cam two stars since it had a lot of issues and wasn’t ready for production release. I even worked with their tech support to try and resolve the problems, but they did not have a resolution. And yes, my contact at Best Buy was not happy about it. However, as a reseller, their reputation is also on the line.
Here are a few examples of my reviews:
