9X couple doubles income thanks to "praise and criticism" videos
From Architect to "Reviewer"
Architect Vu Hoang Tuan Anh (Hanoi), who entered the field of content creation from the need to improve his own working space.
With the nature of his job requiring long periods of computer use, Tuan Anh spends more than 8 hours a day working in front of the screen.
Tuan Anh uses a computer to serve his daily filming and editing work.
Wanting to have an optimal working space that both meets work needs and inspires creativity, he began to improve his space. At first, this was simply a passion and personal hobby, but when he shared the upgrade process on social networks, he unexpectedly received attention from the community and brands.
"From simply sharing my work corner, I started receiving sponsored products from brands. Then, I tried making review videos and found it very suitable, so I continued to pursue it," Tuan Anh shared.
Tuan Anh received products from the brand to experience and evaluate.
Realizing the potential in the field of content creation, the couple decided to invest more systematically.
"At first, I only had a Fujifilm X-T30 camera, which I initially bought for photography but later used for video recording. For lighting, I only had a Godox SL100D.
As demand increased, I continued to add other equipment, from higher power lamps, basic support equipment, to specialized equipment such as sliders, microphones...", Tuan Anh said.
After continuous investment and upgrading, the couple's working corner is now worth more than 200 million VND, and the video production support equipment is worth more than 100 million VND.
This space not only helps them optimize work performance but also becomes a source of inspiration for thousands of followers on social networks.

Balance between family and work
Although product review work brings in a good income, for Tuan Anh, architecture is still the main field he pursues. Currently, he works administrative jobs from Monday to Friday, devoting all his time to his profession. On weekends, he focuses on producing review content - a job that requires constant creativity.
The couple divided the work scientifically.
"My wife is a VJ (presenter), and I am in charge of filming and editing the videos. On Saturdays, when my children go to school, I will film all the necessary scenes. On Sundays, I edit the videos and then send them to the brand. If there is an editing request, I will edit them for 1-2 hours on weeknights," Tuan Anh shared.
With a busy schedule, balancing work, family, and his passion for content creation is a big challenge. However, thanks to his scientific time management, he still ensures quality time with his children and maintains a reasonable rest schedule.
Reviewing is not just about filming and editing videos, but also requires constant creativity to keep the content fresh and attractive. According to Tuan Anh, the biggest challenge in this job is finding ideas and ensuring authenticity in each review.
"You can't judge a product just by holding it in your hand. I always spend a lot of time experiencing it in real life before giving my opinion, in order to bring the most objective perspective to viewers," he shared.
Always take time to experience it in practice before making a judgment.
Creating content on digital platforms is not just a passion but also requires a methodical and professional working process.
The process begins with receiving a brief from the brands. The couple then works together to create a detailed script, all of which is noted down to ensure a smooth production process.
While coming up with ideas, Tuan Anh simultaneously visualizes the image composition and determines the necessary shots to optimize the execution time.
By learning from predecessors and watching instructional videos online, Tuan Anh gradually improved his skills and work processes.
Once the script was finalized, the shoots were scheduled for a day and spread out to optimize time. The video editing was done on Sundays, which helped the editing process go more smoothly.
Initially, the video production process encountered many difficulties. "It took me 15-20 times longer to produce the first videos than it does now because of my lack of experience, filming and editing many times.
But later, thanks to learning from predecessors and watching more instructional videos online, I gradually improved my skills and working process," Tuan Anh shared.
Occasionally, some videos have more creative requirements, such as shooting outdoors, which creates some unplanned situations during production. However, in general, these factors do not greatly affect the overall process.
Chillrevieww channel has reached more than 33 thousand followers after nearly two years of operation.
Thanks to serious investment, the 9X couple's ChillReview channel can now produce 3-4 videos per week, maintaining regular and quality content. In addition to creating videos, Tuan Anh also takes on product photography work.
Double income thanks to side job
After nearly two years of pursuing the product review job, Tuan Anh and his wife have achieved remarkable results. This job not only brings new technology experiences but also becomes a stable source of income, helping them cover family expenses and realize many personal plans.
Without revealing specific figures, Tuan Anh shared that the income generated from this side job is equivalent to the architect salaries of both husband and wife.
"There is no fixed price for video reviews because it depends on the product, quality and coverage of the channel. But it can be said that this job has helped me a lot in taking care of my family and implementing personal plans," Tuan Anh said.
According to Tuan Anh, the product review field still has a lot of potential for development.
For Tuan Anh, product review is a second passion, helping to expand creativity and providing opportunities to experience new technology.
According to Tuan Anh, the product review industry still has a lot of potential for development. More and more creators are combining reviews with affiliate marketing, opening up diverse money-making opportunities in this industry.
"The review profession still has a lot of potential. Currently, many people are also combining with affiliate marketing, so the opportunity to make money in this field is very open. In the future, I want to further improve the quality of content to bring the best products to viewers and brands," he expressed.
The review profession still has a lot of potential.
According to Tuan Anh, a reviewer is not simply introducing products, but more importantly, bringing real value to the community through accurate and impartial reviews.
"Although this is a lucrative business, if you want to pursue it long-term, I think you need to invest properly and professionally. Only when working seriously can reviewers build their reputation and make a mark in the hearts of the audience," Tuan Anh shared.
