Bloggers, Creators & Bargain Hunters!

From Influencer Marketing to Home Product Testing
(Almost) Anyone Can Do!

For years people have been talking about home product testing, and how ordinary people get products sent to their home for FREE or at highly discounted rates all for giving their personal honest experience! Seriously. It’s Real. The first response I usually hear from people is “yeah, right!” But.. seriously’! This is real and extremely easy!

Bloggers, Creators & Bargain Hunters!

But I don’t have a blog….?

The next question I usually get is, but you have to have a blog to do product testing, right? Nope! Not at all. There are many programs out there for bloggers, but there are just as many for reviewers. There are three terms being used here. Bloggers, Influencers and reviewers. Almost all bloggers are influencer and review products, but not all reviewers blog. A lot of influencers review products, but not all. Does that make sense.

While most of the programs below do not require a blog, some do grant special access, bonus products and sometimes even better types of products for bloggers. However, that doesn’t mean, influencers and reviewers do not get offered these products as well, it just may take a little longer.

I don’t  have a desktop computer…??
Can I use my Phone or tablet??

BUT…. for you mobile people there are sites and apps looking for mobile website testers, app and game reviewers and even Beta testers. cash back and referral program apps and many more! There are so many LEGIT surveys sites created strictly for mobile  testers.

With the world on the move, in an unending perpetual motion, app designers, mobile site developers and many others are forced to look forward and go where the technology is needed.  And that’s on the go!

With constant advancements in mobile technology, designers, developers and creators alike are looking for reviews and feedback on many competitive aspects and components of their app, such as usability, speed and engagement.

Do you have a larger than normal social media following?

If you’re an expert on Instagram, taken Twitter by storm or just have a large following on certain sites, such as Facebook, YouTube, Vine and many others, YOU could be earning money!

In the information and technology age of the internet, brands are looking more and more at influencers. Influencers are simply put, everyday people, with large followings. Some programs only require as little as 100 followers for their programs, while others want 10000 minimum or more. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t qualify for the higher follower programs, use the lower ones to help build up your following. Its a great time for learning what works for you and fits your audience. The better you get and the more involved and active you become, the easier it will get and the more opportunities will be available.

While I don’t have a huge following, I do qualify for some programs and have set goals to qualify for others! Influencer Marketing is becoming a more known and booming business. Jump in while you can and get the process started. You never know what the future holds!

But I’m not a celebrity, or someone “special” like that,
why would they give me stuff for free??

**Extra Reading >> Influencer Marketing ~ A Basic Understanding

Then the skeptics come in. Why would they send you FREE products? For your opinion? You’re not a celebrity, or someone “special” like that..?? It just doesn’t make sense? Oh.. But it does. While companies love to have celebrity endorsement. They also have to pay celebrities. Normal shoppers want to know how a product works. Not what a celebrity thinks of the product. Besides that, how many of you truly feel a celebrity is sweeping their own floors, or doing their own gardening, washing laundry, doing normal mundane tasks that we are all stuck doing on a daily basis. I am going to guess, not many of you. Regardless if they do or not, that is not how they are portrayed or even how most of the general public see them. So why would you listen to what they have to say?

Companies know that while there is that small percentage that will buy based on whatever celebrity or public face endorses, most want to know what everyday, average people think. That’s YOU and me. You are more special and needed than you realize.

Won’t they lose money??

Don’t companies lose money doing this? The short answer is yes. But!!! Not really. For every product mention they get, they can sometimes get double plus in sales. PLUS… This is considered advertising and marketing for the companies. They can deduct their loses from their sales. They deduct their “giveaways” as some call it. They deduct their expenses. For influencers, heir expenses include the cost of the product and in some cases shipping, but most sellers will send you a product via Amazon FBA, or fulfilled by amazon, where they are already utilizing shipping services. As long as everyone who participates in their promotions and follows through on their end, they are not suffering at all by giving you products. However on the flip side of that, they can be ruined by a couple of bad people, or those that cheat or abuse the systems set in place.

How can influencers ruin it for the company? (and future reviewers?) By not following through on your end, by sharing discount codes, by leaving poorly written or bad reviews with no real information. While reviewing can be easy, it’s not something you should do halfheartedly either.

Remember you are telling shoppers, like you, whether or not you like the product. What you like about it and why. What you dislike about it and why. What you would have or would like to see done differently, what you recommend or do not recommend. How you did, would or could use it, and how it did, or you expect it to, work. etc. Tell them everything you think you would ask or wonder about. That’s not hard to do. Simply answer the same questions you had while ordering or waiting for it to arrive. The more details you leave the more reliable your review looks and you look. The more reliable you are and thorough, the more offers you will receive. That is a promise!

So where do I start? How do I sign up??

So now for why you are probably here.. Where do you sign up? How do you join? Well, that’s just as easy!! There are a lot of programs I will list below, but there are also many many groups on Facebook that also offer products for review. I will not list many of the groups I use as many of them are secret and you must be invited to them. That doesn’t take long to happen.

I personally shop online for almost everything. I love being able to search and research products and I read tons of reviews before I purchase almost anything online. Knowing this about myself also helps me leave better reviews.

A few tips I will give you when reviewing on other sites…
First and foremost fill in your public profile.
-Most online sites have you register and this creates a profile. If the site you are reviewing on has a profile, you need to make sure your review profile is set to public. Once you know it is set to public, then fill in your bio and details.
The second tip is to add your email address.
-This is how sellers and merchants will get a hold of you. If they like your reviews and feel you would be a good fit for their product, they may randomly email you a request for testing. This is where you get to barter with them. Either accepting only if its free or whatever your terms are. Some will agree and others will counter offer.
And the most important tip I can give you is…..
Only accept what you really want or would like.
-Don’t accept products you don’t think you can or would like to review. Don’t overwhelm yourself. It’s extremely easy to do. When you start getting packages to your home, sometimes on a daily basis, sometimes all at once and your mail delivery driver looks at you like your a shopaholic, you’ll know what I mean.
