Tips on how to get branded products for free with Influenster
- Make sure your profile is completely filled out.
- You will be asked to select your interests, mine for example include all things beauty, as a result you will be prompted to complete what they call SNAPS, where you are asked what type of products you use or generally purchase and dependant on what you use you will have the opportunity to show off your reviewing skills.
- As you review the product, I do advise you photograph it and include a picture, they now also have video review features which are awesome for those that prefer shooting a video instead of writing.
- I advise you to COMPLETE ALL YOU SNAPS and make sure that when you purchase new products you search it on the app to then review.
- I feel it helps to interact in the community advice section especially if you are very knowledgable in certain products as you can help out fellow members looking for advice. You may also seek out impartial advice in this section for products you may be thinking of purchasing.
Look at it this way, if you were INFLUENSTER as a brand what kind of individuals would you select to receive the branded products for free?
I would say someone reliable, who adheres to time guidelines for the tasks they set out and most importantly someone who promotes the product on all their social media channels.
“If you follow this guideline, being very active within your social media and the influenster app chances are very high in getting a brand to review within a month from signing up.”
Make sure that YOU COMPLETE ALL THE TASKS they set out for you because you have to prove your worth.
They send out products which are brands and FREE of charge in return for a review AFTER receipt of the product so there is no catch here. They are probably one of the very few companies who don’t trick you into reviewing and don’t send out anything.
I love that ANYONE can become a reviewer as there are no limitations whether in gender, skin types, hair types, race and even age. Makes me respect the fact that they test products throughout every possible type of person which is fantastic for brands as they can develop products even better with all our valuable feedback.
