"Please write 10 separate, positive reviews of (product). Please include no less than one but no more than two negative aspects of (product), with no less than seven positive aspects. The negatives should be very minor in comparison to the positives. Give each review a different voice. Some should be written in third person, some in first. You may write one review as though English is not your given language."
"Write a travel guide as though you are Australian travelling abroad. Your perspective should be one from the outside looking in."

My own moral code does not allow me to write pieces that I find to be unethical. All of my work is based off of thorough research from primary, reliable sources. I believe this is why I have clients who return to me week after week, year after year. Still, there are many writers out there trying to make names for themselves. These fake reviews can pay very well for a small amount of work, which make them attractive choices for those who simply need the money. Every time I receive a request, I politely refuse, but I also know that there are at least a dozen other writers who will gladly take my place. This is why I tell everyone I know:

Personal Trainer Fakes Before and After Pics
Everyone knows that a one week transformation simply isn't going to happen, at least not in a truly visible way. I have been drinking Shakeology for almost a week now. I have lost a little bit of weight. I feel lighter and more energized. My food cravings have lessened and my meal portions throughout the rest of the day are smaller. But my after picture still looks pretty much like my before picture. That is because it has been a week. Right now all of the changes are on the inside. Nobody wants to see that.
Except this. You can always believe this.
