There are a ton of different ways to receive free products and samples. There isn't enough time in the world to list every single way but this will hopefully give you a head start. Before we go any further, I do have to mention that I do not speak for any said company except "Pullin' Reviews". The information provided is for assistance but is by no means guaranteed. I have done my best to compile accurate and up to date information. Any further action taken by the reader is and should be of their own free will.
Now that we have that out of the way, let's start with what I believe to be the easiest way to gain products:
Samples.
Now before you start thinking tiny little things, keep in mind that samples can be of any size and can be full size at times. Below are a few sites that I use or have previously used and found to be of use. Each of these sites requires you to set up an account, confirm your email, and then complete your profile. Things that it may ask about is your favorite snacks, products, pets, and things of that nature so that they can send you samples that you may actually enjoy. After receiving the samples, they may ask for a quick star rating or review but they usually aren't required.
PinchMe: This site can have some great samples at times. Every second Tuesday or so they do an event where you can get numerous samples if your account fits into their demographics. The only downfall that I see and have experienced at times is that some of the tasks you have to do before checking out your samples are obnoxious and not of good worth. This doesn't always happen but I have noticed it. https://www.pinchme.com/?referral_code=g4gz9
-Sampler: I adore this site. Except that it for some reason wants me to be healthier so it keeps sending us some weird health snacks (some of them have been mighty tasty.) This site is surprisingly easy. Once your account is set up, you pretty good to go. They'll email you if they have any new questions to ask. sampler.io
- DailyGoodieBox: This site is...weird. The name says exactly what it is. It's a goodie box of samples. The catch is that it's more of a constant giveaway rather than just being sent samples on a regular basis. They do a bunch of giveaways on their FB page and several people I have talked to have mentioned that they adore the boxes when they win them. I personally have never put in the effort to win one, but I figured I'd add it since I was able to confirm its authenticity. dailygoodiebox.com
Write the Company: This is one that I have been told is rude, shouldn't be done, and several other things but none of that is true. Do NOT be scared to write a company about trying their product. Most companies have a set amount of samples designated specifically for this purpose. You aren't always going to get a yes, but you won't know unless you try. Writing the company doesn't have to be anything fancy either. Just tell them what you are writing about, why, and leave your address at the bottom since most companies will just send something in the mail rather than responding. I did message a few companies on Facebook this way and only got one no out of 10 companies. They were super sweet and sent the samples quickly.
Watch your Facebook feed: Chances are that you already follow your favorite companies, watch your feed for their ads to get a chance at samples from them. Companies pay to have sample ads sent to their followers feed. It's that simple.
Full-Size Products:
These sites give full-size products to help gain reviews and publicity. They ask for honest reviews. If you don't like the product, no problem, trash it, or gift it, all they ask is that you write a review saying why you didn't like it or why you loved it. These sites are specifically looking to help consumers.
HomeTesterClub: I adore this site. I have gotten several hair products from them and even some hygiene products. There is no limit to how much you can be sent or what type of products you can be asked to review. I have been offered everything from phone products to curtains, to snacks. https://www.hometesterclub.com/us/en/account/join
ShopperArmy: Same thing as above. They offer a wide variety in products. You'll be sent notifications letting you know that you have a new qualifier survey waiting. Each product you n receive the mail comes with a cute little soldier in it. https://www.shopperarmy.com/member/email/recruit?referred_by=pullinreviews@gmail.com
BuzzAgent: I personally haven't used this site in years but the website is the same as the above two. Although I have noticed that they don't have as much activity as they use to. https://bzz.bzzagent.com/community/join?mode=influencer&activity=14862
Influenster: This one works from both their website and app...but you do have to have the app to get products...it's strange but that is how they work. After setting up your account, connect your social media accounts, and look around. Answer your "snaps" for better chances at getting products. I've received hair products, makeup, coffee...I'm currently waiting on the new Urban Decay Naked Ultraviolet Palette to be shipped out to me. It's a nice app but it is based a lot on demographics and interests so be sure to complete your profile. www.influenster.com/r/1813799
Rebates:
I don't have much experience with these but I did try out a few for you guys. All I can really say is to proceed with caution and be smart about which agents you work with. While I was blessed not to be scammed, you may not be as successful. While researching this aspect, I noticed that some are free and some are deeply discounted. Some will transfer money into your Paypal prior to order, some will refund after you write a review. Some pay for the taxes, some don't. With this in mind. Ask questions. Know what you are agreeing to before agreeing to do anything. Along with being cautious..don't lie. I noticed that a lot of agents specifically ask for five-star reviews or they won't refund you. I shouldn't have to mention how wrong that is. Reviews are meant to help consumers out. If a product has a bunch of five-star reviews but is an awful product, you aren't helping others, you're just helping the company and yourself. Not to mention that Amazon may flag your account if you place too many five star reviews because it is suspicious and against their policy to be sent items for a great review. to find these "deals" simply watch your social media feeds or even check out Rebate groups on Facebook. There are apparently several on there. But again, be careful. I can not stress that enough.
Commission:
I have the least amount of advice for this one since I only get a commission for certain companies that I am contracted to work with. Even with me being contracted, it's only a few dollars usually as a small thank you. Most companies send you a free product and call that fair. Some do offer a small commission though. So I scoured the internet to try and find a legit commission-based product testing and found this one: Market Slayers. As far as I can tell, it is legitimate. I tried it and sure enough, they did send me a $15 commission after my review was verified. I haven't been offered anything since then so I'm not sure of how often this option is. But who knows, maybe you'll get more offers than me. I do have to say, be careful with this one as well. Often if something is too good to be true, then it probably is. I haven't had the chance to test it further. Based on that one try alone, it was legitimate. I was sent the rebate and then was sent the commission after review as promised. https://marketslayers.club/Home/SignUp?q=ZjE3ODUzZGUtZTY4Zi00OTllLTlhZGYtNjdhOWQwYTZmNDkw
A few notes before I sign off:
Check your items for free product offers. Several products have little stickers or notes telling you how you can get a free product or discount on another product. Take these companies up on these offers to double your efforts.
Do not resell ANY item you get for free. Not only is it bad practice, but it can put an end to you being allowed to get other free items. You may think you're safe to sell these items (and you are by law safe to) companies do have people watching out for this situation and will blacklist you from review opportunities. It happens a lot more than you would think. Companies can also dispute the rebate if you are caught reselling review products.
