Do you like getting free products to test and keep? You can do that via a company called Influenster.
Influenster is a product discovery and review platform that makes it possible for you to find and review various products from over 100,000 brands.
Founded in 2010, Influenster connects people with products they might like to try out and share their opinions about
It's completely free to sign up and start receiving products to test and then review. Your honest feedback helps brands improve on their products! So it is a win/win situation.
How does Influenster work?
Influenster used to be invite-only, but now you can sign up directly on the site.
As soon as you're in, start getting active. Fill out your profile as completely as you can, and be sure to link up every social media site you use.
You're going to also want to any “snaps” that are available. These are short little questions that help Influenster learn more about you. This is important so that they can send you freebies.
Influenster will expect you to share your experiences with the products you get to test across whatever social media platforms you use as well as your blog or website if you have one. This is all they ask in exchange for giving you stuff for free!
What is an Influenster “VoxBox”?
A VoxBox is a monthly box that Influenster sends out to certain lucky people, and the box is filled to the brim with tons of full-sized products you can test and keep.
I was lucky enough to receive one of these VoxBoxes the first month I was with Influenster and I have to say I was very impressed with the samples I got. I was expecting just trial-sized things, not full-sized samples!
If the people at Influenster think you may qualify for an upcoming VoxBox, they'll send you a survey to take. Depending on your answers, you just might get a VoxBox.
After you get the box and have a chance to try out everything in it, Influenster sends a list of tasks to complete. You don't have to do all of them, but the more you do, the more likely you will be to qualify for the next box that goes out.
So what are these “tasks”? You'll be asked to take a survey (that one is mandatory), share a photo of your box or a product review on the Facebook pages of the brands featured in the box, do a video review of your box and post it on your website, or possibly tweet something on Twitter, etc.
Currently, they will only ship VoxBoxes out to people in the following countries – United States, Canada, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom.
Other Product Testing
Since receiving that first box, I have not received a survey asking me to try and qualify for any more boxes, but I have received surveys to test other products.
Just last month, I got to test out and keep two full size bottles of Palmolive dish soap. And I got another survey a for a different upcoming product test. However, I don't know yet if I'll get it on that one.
How To Get Influenster To Send You Stuff
Honestly, I think this just boils down to being very active on the site.
I believe that the reason I've gotten invitations is because I've continued to visit and interact with things there. If at some point I stop “hanging out” at Influenster, I'm certain they probably won't invite me to test products.
So if you want to get in on future product tests, my best advice to you is just to try and be an active member if you can.
Is Influenster Legit?
For sure. As mentioned above, I've already benefited from this site. There are certainly some questionable product testing panels out there, but this isn't one of them.
While there are some other good panels out there, I'm thinking that Influenster is my favorite. I love the way their site is laid out. Navigating around is simple, and it seems like there's always something to do there.
I also like the fact that I've gotten an invitation to test out something pretty much every month I've been a member. I'm assuming this is because I've stayed fairly active on the site.
If you enjoy using Reddit, I'd recommend browsing the Reddit for Influenster. Lots of feedback and tips there from people who are already active on the site.

I recieved my voxbox within a weeks time very impressed with all of the products
I have additional invites I can send out. If anyone is interested contact me at [email protected]
i have been on this site for about a month, not sure how to get them to send me anything..
Just keep tabs on your email, then send all invites through your email. You’ll also have a better chance of getting selected if you keep your profile as filled out as possible and be as active on the site as you can.
So i am confused do you get paid for this and or get an incentive at least?
The product tests I have been involved with so far have not paid any money, the incentive is getting the full-size product(s) to keep.
This is a very cool website,i actually receive a VoxBox last month filled with goodies which i really enjoyed.I even received some press on manicure nails very nice which were very nice and easy to apply.
That’s awesome, Michelle. I loved my VoxBox, too. Still using some of the items that came in it.
Does Influenster allowed non-US product tester? I wanted to try product testing but most of the time it is only available in the US.
I think Influenster at this time only has opportunities for the US. Still, if you can sign up I would go ahead in case they expand it in the future.
