Selling tripadvisor reviews - still worth it?

Hi,

I'm currently looking for some ways of fast increasing my monthly revenues. I have a main job that is with some issues and recently I have been 4 months without getting a salary, what is painful when we have a family with kids to support. I like the job and it pays decently, that is why I want to keep it. But meanwhile, I'm preparing other medium/long term projects to diversify the income sources.

While those projects don't get traction, I'm willing to try some more "fast ways" to get income. One of my ideas is to potentially sell Tripadvisor reviews. I live in the Southern of Europe, market that it's not too saturated of this kind of service.

Questions: It's still possible to sell reviews or Tripadivsor has improved the detection of fake reviews?

You can make some serious money by selling these site reviews, the only problem is making your reviews stick. Required lots of testing before selling it.

Okay. Thanks for the answer @Nut-Nights

So, I guess that it will not be so easy as to use a bunch of proxies to create a good number of accounts, and to start immediately selling. This is something entirely new for me, so I will need to spend the next days investigating an reading about how I can make this happen.

But any help, or information that anyone can share will be well appreciated. I will just be doing this on my local region, so please guys, don't take me as a competitor.

TA got lot harder on fingerprints. They kill all reviews in one go from identical fingerprints. This started a year ago.

Thanks @Aaric

I'm still reading about the subject, but it seems that presently is way harder than my initial judgement.

I'd be careful. Tripadvisor got a guy in Italy put in jail for selling reviews.

It's difficult now to make money with selling Tripadvisor. A year or two back they started flagging all unnatural reviews. I used to sell TA reviews on gig sites. Got lot of orders. I had 2/3 TA accounts. I started posting reviews for my customers. After 10/12 review all the reviews including some genuine reviews were taken down by TA. The problem with selling TA is that you have to put review of different hotels/places which are geographically pole apart. If you are not careful you will be caught. Another problem is your buyers will be asking you to put 5 star reviews. Such many positive reviews will be easily flagged. A year back I was reading some legal cases involving TA. It's better to stay away. There are many other easy and fast ways to make money.

Thanks @blankinship and @Lamelo Ball

I'm starting already to work around other ideas, since TA seems to hard and problematic presently.
