So, follow the brands you like on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and wherever else they have a social media profile. Not only does following brands on social media allow you to get any testing opportunities that may arise, but it also allows you to keep up with any coupons, deals, giveaways, and other savings opportunities that brands may have to offer.

Another option to get free stuff is to start a blog. Many companies work with bloggers to promote their products. So, they send out pre-release items or new products to bloggers. If you have a blog, and you can grow a following, then you can work directly with brands to promote their products.

While anyone can start a blog, not every blog is successful. You will need to put in a lot of work to build up your readership.

Still though, you can make money from blogging and get free products. To get started, you need to get a domain name and hosting, which you can get from sites like Bluehost, HostGator, and GoDaddy.

And, then you can publish your blog posts through WordPress. Once you have started your blog, you will need to upload content consistently. Build up your following, and then brands will likely want to work with you. You can also sign up for sites which connect bloggers with brands, such as PayPerPost.

Social media influencers get paid to advertise and create sponsored content for brands on Instagram and other social media platforms. If you can gain a decent following, then you can get free products sent to you.

Brands often work with influencers in order to promote their products. Now, there are quite a lot of platforms you can join as an influencer that can connect you with brands.

If you gain a following, then you may be able to get paid to advertise products for brands on your social media accounts. To get even more freebies, sign up for Swagbucks. You can redeem your Swag Bucks for free cash to your PayPal account, or for gift cards.

You can use the free cash or gift cards you get on Swagbucks to purchase items you want, for free! Another way you can get free products to test out is to start a YouTube channel. Of course, you will need to make sure you build up your subscribers and views so that brands will want to work with you and send you free products to share with your viewers.

YouTubers can also earn money from the ads on their videos. A lot of you guys have been asking about Producttestingusa.

I went to the site and proceeded to sign up. I filled out the first page of the form where they asked for my name and email address. Sure, to send you products they need your address, but normally when you sign up for this kind of site, they let you sign up with an email and password, then you can log in and fill out your profile.

They just sell your info to other companies and maybe send you a free sample or two. At the same time, one of our readers, Tracy, who had commented a while back about the site, joined the site and came back to share her experience.

And her experience is basically aligned with my thoughts. com is a real legit product testing company. If anyone has used the site and is getting actual real products, please let me know and I will reconsider giving it a try, but until then I suggest you stay away from this site.

There were many more companies and websites on the list when we originally published it. However, a few of them no longer exist, either because they have merged with other programs or just have ended it. I am leaving them below for archival reasons. Update : AllYou is now a part of the Southern Living magazine.

This program has ended, but there is a similar program from the Southern Living magazine that I mentioned above.

By joining their community you will have the chance to test new products for free, participate in surveys, and even appear in AllYou magazine or their website AllYou.

You will have the opportunity to not only get totally free stuff, but also influence the look, taste, and experience of General Mills and Small Planet Foods products.

Update : Last time I checked, their product testing page just redirected to another page. If you like Snuggle products you will like The Bear Den panel. Membership is free and gives you access to product testing opportunities, special offers, announcements, and so on.

As you can see there are a lot of companies that send you products to test and keep for free. Some even pay you for participating.

I hope you find this list helpful. Please feel free to leave a comment below if you know of any other legit company that does offer product testing items for free. Get points instantly!

Katia, thanks for the heads up. They updated their site and in the process have changed some of their pages and their URLs. I found the correct page and have updated the link. They would send a package of a variety of items that you tested and kept along with a 4 page survey to fill out and mail back.

I would stay away from them. Also, I see what I assume is an ad for Swagbucks on this site. Is this an ad or is it one of your legit sites? I just signed up with them to test things out.

product testing usa swnr me a tfal opti grill that is the only thing i have bewn able to testfor them they randomly select 1 tester for each item.

its like a 1 out of a million chance u get something i was lucky. Say you signed up fully product testing usa to try dp u think I would have any consequences. This is the first time i try anything like this so i really dont know. Hi,I tried ProductTestingUSA. I got a Mamaroo Bouncer from them for free!

All I had to was review it! I am guessing that Ashley is a fake person. It is really the scammer searching for their website and commenting that it is safe to trick other people. Product testing USA is legit I have tested one item for them but it seems like nobody gets chosen more than once but you have to sign up separately for each product and your chances of getting chosen probably are one in a million, and unfortunately each time you sign up for a product you have to do the crappy survey and yes if you select yes on anything you are swamped with a bunch of junk mail.

Google loreal consumer testing and they will mail you products to test out. So amazing. Good luck and have fun! Andre, where do you see Dhgate gives away free stuff?

I got one yesterday actually. Snuggle has one as well. Similar to Smiley Crowdtap is awesome too. I got some Masterpiece grilling seasoning, probably 10 items at once. I have been quite a bit from crowdtap lately I am going to be getting some shampoo and conditioners and hair color here soon.

crowdtap is great i won almost bucks in gift cards total over 2 months, the person above what they mean is when it comes to food stuff, they send a whole box of goodies like hidden valley ranch had one through them and you got a huge bottle of ranch, dipping bowls, packets, coupons.

stuff like that. does anyone know if product-testing. com is legit? i cant find any reviews on them, only the one for the UK. As for product-testing. What do I need to do? Keep in mind that when they do these product testing runs, they are looking for specifics demographic basically their main consumers , so based on the info you provided, you may not be a good fit for any of their tests so far.

com is not a legit site from what ive heard. you have to answer a bunch of yes or no survey questions and sign up or it signs you up for different stuff. Scott, I am not sure about Product Testing USA. So, if you are looking for real product testing, stick with the sites mentioned in this post, or other legit companies.

Hope that helps. I also did the surveys for offer bucks. I emailed them twice and never got a response. I signed up for product testing usa and it say I was gonna be able to test out the product I signed up for and two days later it asked for payment of the product.

Yea I agree about product testing usa. Bzzagent does not pay you. Not sure where you got your information, but it is product testing plain and simple. I myself have done several campaigns for them, so I can speak from experience. Also, you can check their website. But with some products, they will send you a survey after a few weeks of you using the product, and if you answer those surveys, you will get paid a small amount.

BzzAgent has never paid me anything for taking the follow up survey, and I have been reviewing for them for a few years now. A lot of times it could be simple mix-ups or an employee making a mistake. I would contact them and find out whats going on before taking any more surveys.

You dont want to be wasting your time for nothing. You absolutely do not get paid through bzz agent. Pretty much everything is free, though! That was on top of getting the product. So maybe they changed somethings now. They never have. I think you might be confusing them with another company.

BzzAgent will award MyPoints for surveys and some activities, however. Kelly, the reason they do that is so they can assess the shoes to see how it holds out with all the wear and tear.

That said, I have heard of some cases where you do get to keep the shoes. I applied to Nike but have not heard back. How long does it take? Also for New Balance and Reebok. Tracy, there is no telling when they will get back to you. I would wait a few weeks and then try to contact them.

Good luck. The ones I currently am using are Influenster, PinchMe, Smiley, Crowdtap, and BzzAgent. I am a member of House Party, Mom Ambassador, and VocalPoint.

com gives you free and reduced priced items almost every day through amazon. com as long as you agree to review them. If you fail to submit your review within a certain amount of time you wont be able to recieve any more products.

I have gotten everything from cookware to beauty products all full size complete products in exchange for my reviews. Thanks for your comment, Elizabeth.

I am actually working on creating a list of sites that give you free or discounted Amazon products in exchange for reviews. I have been product testing, reviewing and sampling for years. It is a fun part time hobby I have yet to make any money from any of the product testing I have done.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Amanda. After all, a penny saved is a penny earned. can u give me some sites that are ok to work with? I have never done this I am 77 and would like to try without getting scammed can u email me at removed by editor.

Barbara, I removed your email address. Putting your email in an open website is the fastest and easiest way to get scammed.

What about Offerbucks? I would say, mostly there are restricted to the U. Hey i was wondering if there are any companies that need international testers. Any help would be appreciated! Our family is going on a big hiking trip in a few months.

We would love to test out some gear! That said, I am going to suggest something unconventional that I actually have heard people do and get good results. Here is what you do: First go to Amazon and locate the gear you are interested in.

Then write a quick message to the seller s letting them know you are going on a family hiking trip and that you would love to try out their product s in exchange for an honest and detailed review. To increase your chance, mention that you will also be open to doing a video review of the product s.

I think this is great blog for people who want earn money in freeways people pay for online jobs but they couldnt refund i mean not get money from it. The best part of this blog is every information is described specically Keep it up blog owner.

I think the closest you can get to that is to use one of the Amazon product testing sites where product owners including electronic sellers give products for free or very cheap in exchange for an honest review.

com has a consumer testing area. Each time you do this and follow through with your review requirements, it ups your chance to review a more expensive piece of tech. I just signed up last week and I have a digital kitchen scale headed my way via UPS :. Are there any legit gaming testing sites?

Yes there are a few. I am old and would like to find some honest companies where I can use their products and send in my review and maybe get to keep some things mainly electronics books ect.

I can also turn the products back in with review if need be. I am afraid of getting a bad company,how do u know if they are legitimate companies? Barbara, I just published a post with a list of 40 websites where you can get Amazon products for free or highly discounted in exchange for leaving revives on Amazon.

never heard of it either…. Love it! Also if u like product reviewing go ok Facebook and look for review groups I used to be big in it and used to get literally 20 packages A day from Amazon for months without spending a dime!

I have a mini washing machine coming this week for free got my son a scooter for Christmas.. They do however offer mypoints for every product test report you file as well as their follow up survey.

The best one I got from Bzzagent was a Sonicare Flexcare toothbrush with the UV Sanatizer values at almost With Loreal testing panel they are not bogus… You have to qualify for their product tests and it can be quite frustrating if you are not chosen. I have been with them for about 3 years and have only qualified for 3 product tests but it was worth it to me.

I received a nice gift bag each time as a thank you filled with lots of great products. Smiley is Great. Been with them about 2 years now and have done lots of testing on products for them.

One was a sleep number bed study and I got a awesome pillow valued at almost I want to really get involved in this testing products n samples I believe it would be a interesting hobby of n e one can give me websites n direction to get the ball rolling I would greatly appreciate it n my e mail is removed by editor.

Rachel, I removed your email address. Its the fastest way to get scammed. If you like Amazon products, check out our list of Amazon Review Sites where you can get free Amazon stuff in exchange for your review.

I have been going to freebies. com ,free samples, an a few others. I click on it an it takes you to candles toilet paper, socks, shoes,tide etc.. You have to answers dumb questions to really never get the free items they show you are they really legit.

They also show free kitchen things can never get them. There are alot of sites like this. Would love to try shoes an other things.

Please help. Amy, for shoes, companies like Nike do have product testing, but they send you shoes all the time. And some require you send it back after a few weeks of testing. I found 6 of them that include Nike and Reebok.

Oh well, it is what it is. I just thought that you might like to know this… Thanks for all of your hard work and valuable information. Thanks for that Rita. Yeah, it seems like for now they are just limiting their testing opportunity to New Zealand residents.

As mentioned in that post you are referring to, there are also a few other shoe companies, like Nike, that have product testing that US residents can participate in. Have you tried signing up for any of those?

The only sites that I know of that give free kids stuff are the ones that giveaway baby stuff like diapers. There is none that specializes in electronics.

Its mainly small electronics like chargers, headphones, etc. You have McCormmick listed twice plus the Kraft link takes me to their coupons website.

And as for Kraft, yeah, it seems like they no longer have the program. Have you ever heard of American Consumer Panel? I went through the registration process and after I did all of that it simply brought me to a page where I was asked to sign up for 2 other survey panels which are legit because I use them myself and then they said we will contact you if we have product testing opportunities.

It seems like they are just trying to get you to sign up for those sites so they can get a commission, which there is nothing wrong with that, but pretending to be a product testing company and misleading people in order to make money off of them is not right.

Does anyone know if American -Consumer-Panels. com is a safe site to join and do you really get paid to test things? Product Testing USA is a JOKE! and a SCAM! So, my phone is ringing off the hook and the only way to combat it is to answer and let them know I never requested whatever it is they are offering and to tell them to please remove this number from their list.

My mistake — Live and Learn — but please save yourself the aggravation and stay away from Product Testing USA. From the little research I have done, I think Product Testing USA is not a real product testing company. You can also file a complaint. For both these, use donotcall.

I singed up for Product Report Card which asked me all the details like home address and contact number. Not necessarily. That said, Product Report Card is more of a survey and reward site than a product testing company.

You can earn a little side money taking surveys and completing offers. Just a fun way to earn a few dollars in your free time. I recently signed up with Elite Deal Club. I have gotten 18 products so far.

Totally worth it!!! I participate in the Home Depot Seeds Reviewer program as well where you choose 5 items each month 1 of which can be a premium item and as they randomly come up, bonus campaigns where you may be able to select a single item or multiple items depending on the individual bonus campaign.

Items are shipped free to the reviewer address, and I have not come across an item yet that I had to return within the 6 month vendor recall period.

Please can u suggest some websites for Indian users.. i found ur blog useful! but mostly the products are for US or other western countries. Please tell me genuine product testing websites for us. I live in India. Do you know if we get to keep the products after or do we have to return them.

I know on producttesting. Thank you for posting such a comprehensive list! Is American Consumer Panels legit? They say that they gaurentee hours a week and you get paid!

Any info on this. How can they guarantee that? To my knowledge, its a survey panel and with survey panels, there is no guaranteed work hours or anything remotely close to that.

Thanks for this post Satrap!! Not sure if this has already been mentioned but I received a product from this site to review almost immediately.

ProducttestingUSA is a COMPLETE JOKE. They will NEVER send you ANYTHING to test. I seen the one product was looking for 3 people to test it out It was for nail polish. ONLY ONE other person had signed up to test it, and it was closng in 17 minutes. I figured I would be the second person to sign up.

One week it might say: Cindy Brice was this weeks lucky tester. Next week it might say: Cynthia Rice is our lucky winner. The names are ALWAYS VERY Similar. Are they using employees names? Or making up names? I laughed when it said the one winner was:Ockijos Ramerizest.

WHAT kind of name is that? Theres another name I see A LOT of and I can ONLY remember the FIRST name. They will do it: Ozzie, Ozzie and Ozzey. The last name is ALWAYS the same though. This site is nothing but SCAMMERS. I took a survey for points the one day. I COMPLETED the survey and once I got to the end, the survey gave me a message: Thank you for completing our survey.

You will be redirected back to your dashboard in a few moments to be issued your points. A few seconds later, I am taken back to the dashboard, BUT the cartoon guy who greets you on the dashboard said: You did NOT qualify for that survey, here is 12 points for trying. I contacted their Customer Service.

I SAVE page views once I complete surveys JUST IN CASE something like this would happen. I told Customer Service: Here is the screen shot which says you HAVE COMPLETED and will be given points on your dashboard.

They told me NO, it was a survey glitch, I ONLY get 12 points NOT Also, you need points to cash out for There are lots of companies that will send you free stuff.

Amazon free sample program is designed to help customers try out products they might like. It's a great way to test out things without making a commitment to buy. The range of products offered as free samples is pretty wide—everything from groceries and pet supplies to beauty products and health and personal care items.

Getting free samples from Amazon is simple. You sign up for their free sample program, edit your preferences, and wait for products to arrive at your doorstep. To get started, you'll need an Amazon account. If you don't have one yet, don't sweat it—it's a breeze to set up.

Remember to use an email address you regularly check so you don't miss out on any Amazon communication. Now that your account is up and ready, it's time to fine-tune your settings. Ensure you've opted in to receive such communications, as this allows Amazon to send you those coveted free samples.

To get free samples from Amazon, start shopping for items you love or have always wanted to try. So, the more diverse and frequent your purchases, the wider the range of samples you could receive.

It's like crafting your personal wish list of samples! Patience is key here. Once you're all set up, it's a matter of waiting for the samples to arrive.

The thrill of the wait and the pleasant surprise when you finally receive a package make the experience all the more enjoyable. While it's not mandatory, providing feedback on the samples you receive can benefit both you and Amazon. For one, it allows Amazon to refine its sampling program.

On your end, it's an excellent way to express your likes and dislikes, which Amazon could use to tailor future samples more closely to your preferences.

And let's not forget—the more active you are, the more visible you become to the retailer, and that could potentially mean more samples coming your way! As mentioned earlier, Amazon offers a wide range of product samples.

You might receive anything from a sample of a gourmet food product or even a personal care product. While there isn't a catch in the traditional sense, it's worth mentioning that Amazon uses your purchasing data to determine which samples to send.

There isn't a set schedule for when Amazon sends out free samples. It can vary based on factors like your purchasing activity and the products that are being promoted.

However, staying active and having a diverse shopping history may increase your chances of getting Amazon free samples. The wider the range of products you buy, the more varied your free samples could be. It helps Amazon to know you're interested in a diverse array of items.

So, don't just stick to one category—explore and purchase from different sections! Explore and Wishlist Products. Wishlisting items that you're interested in can give Amazon an idea of the products you'd like to sample. Whether it's a brand new skincare line or a gourmet food item you've been keen to try, add it to your wishlist.

Make sure to participate in Amazon's promotional events, such as Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. During such events, Amazon often introduces new products and offers more free samples.

Follow Amazon on their social media platforms. Sign Up for Amazon Prime. If you're a frequent Amazon shopper, consider signing up for Amazon Prime. Besides free shipping and entertainment benefits, Prime members often have an edge when it comes to sampling programs.
