How Does Product Testing Work? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\""Feedback"
A consumer writing feedback<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many brands rely on their customer\u2019s thoughts to predict whether or not a new product will be a success. To do this, they rely heavily on getting real users\u2019 feedback from people just like you. This is where product testing comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are product testing jobs legitimate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, various brands will give you free products to test at home in exchange for your thoughts on these items. Above, we\u2019ve listed some of the best legitimate sites for getting free products to test. As you can see, some of these companies will even pay you real money to try out their goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do brands need consumers to join their paid product testing studies?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Brands need to know what consumers think of their new products before officially releasing them to the public. Having real consumers give their feedback on their latest offerings allows these brands to tweak their products and make adjustments before it is too late. This ultimately will save them a lot of time and money in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that as a product tester, you\u2019ll get an exclusive first look at any new products before they hit the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What products can you test?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a product tester, you can test everything from makeup to household products, electronics, toys, beverages, food products, clothes, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different product testing websites will pay you to test different things. Some offer a range of goods while others specialize in specific items such as baby goods<\/a> or cosmetics<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others specialize in testing websites or software. Most times, you\u2019ll be matched to a product based on your demographics. For instance, you aren\u2019t going to be sent nappies to test if you don\u2019t have an infant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What rewards can you get from free product testing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A
A happy woman holding a gift check wrapped elegantly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, you\u2019ll be allowed to keep the product you test, or you could even sell it for cash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some companies even reward you with points for testing new products, and when you accumulate enough points, you can cash them out for gift cards. Others will pay you in gift cards, Amazon vouchers, or more products straight away or even give you real cash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quality of the rewards will vary across different brands and sites, so you\u2019ll need to look at each offer carefully to decide if the rewards are worth the effort for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you get paid to be a product tester?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, some companies will pay you to become a product tester. Some people have even built a big enough following for themselves, testing products on their blog or social media channels, that it\u2019s now their full-time career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While sometimes these payments are in cold hard cash, other times brands may pay you in gift cards, prepaid Visa cards, or merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much can you make from being a product tester?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While receiving free products is excellent, being paid to test items is even better. How much you can get paid to be a product tester varies greatly, with brands paying anything between<\/strong>$3 and $500<\/strong> depending on the product and what is required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all comes down to how much time you\u2019re prepared to put into it, as the more you do, the more you can earn. The more active you are, the more opportunities you\u2019re also likely to receive, which could lead to you being asked to join higher-paid focus groups or expert tester panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you receive some great products, you could also sell these for additional income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the Pros and Cons of Product Testing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A

There are many pros and cons for brands to get involved in product testing and for you to sign on as a product tester. Here are just a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Pros: <\/strong>Product testing can give brands a chance for a product to sell itself as more people get exposed to what is on offer. As a consumer, you\u2019ll also get a sneak peek at new items and trends before they officially hit the market.

    Brands will also be provided with critical insight into their products, and as a consumer, you can help shape the way the products you use ultimately turn out.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    • Cons: <\/strong>One of the significant considerations for brands getting involved in product trials is the cost. The products need to be given away for free, and sometimes the reviewers also get paid; however, the money that a brand can save on an unsuccessful outcome can outweigh these costs in the long run.

      As a consumer, you\u2019ll need to consider if the effort you\u2019re putting into product testing is really worth the free merchandise or rewards offered. It can be quite a labor-intensive process for both parties, and you shouldn\u2019t cheat the system, although there is always a risk they won\u2019t get the feedback promised for brands.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      How Do You Become a Product Tester and Get Free Stuff?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \"A
      A woman signing up on market research sites<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Are you ready to get free products and even get paid to test products at home? The first step to becoming a product tester is to sign up on market research sites, such as those listed above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You will need to complete a profile giving more information about yourself to determine which products best meet your demographics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Will companies send you products to review?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Yes, through product testing, you can try out and even keep some unique products without paying for them. Product testing is a fabulous way to get some fantastic and expensive items you typically wouldn\u2019t buy yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In return, these companies will expect you to answer surveys about their items, give them a review, or provide exposure for their brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How can I get free products to test?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      To get free products to test, be sure to sign up on the websites mentioned above. Opt-in for the daily and weekly mailers, and you\u2019ll be notified of any new products available for testing as soon as they become available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You will likely need to complete a survey for each available product to give the brand more details about your compatibility to test that particular item. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you\u2019re approved, you\u2019ll be sent the product to test for a few weeks. After which, there will be a follow-up email for you to provide your feedback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Once the above steps have been followed, if a reward or payment is offered, you will then receive this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you don\u2019t want to use the above sites to become a product tester, you can also try approaching companies directly, although this can be challenging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To start, you\u2019ll want to contact companies whose products you actually use so you can demonstrate that they will get valuable feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You\u2019ll also want to ensure that you contact the PR or marketing team directly and not just a general inquiry email which will likely be ignored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Be sure to add a sincere message detailing why the company should work with you and what you can offer them in return. If you\u2019re a blogger or influencer, you\u2019ll need to include some stats about your following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Try and only ask for the free samples at the end. Be sure not to get discouraged, as you may need to send out quite a few emails before receiving a positive response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How do you become a product tester for Amazon?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Various sites offer the opportunity to test products and leave reviews on Amazon. However, these are limited as Amazon is trying to ensure that the reviews on their site are only by genuine users. One site that you can try is Amazon Vine<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This is an invitation-only site, so you\u2019ll need a private link to join. To become a product tester for Amazon, you will also need a verified Amazon account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Are you ready to start product testing? Here are some helpful tips and tricks to ensure success in this new endeavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Know your odds: <\/strong>Just because you have signed up to test a product does not mean you will automatically receive it. That means you have applied to test, and now the company will consider all applications. 

        As brands typically get thousands of applications, it stands to reason that they can\u2019t send their products to everyone. It\u2019s kind of like entering a competition every time you sign up to test a product.
        <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        1. Be selective about the products you test: <\/strong>While it may seem tempting to sign up for every available product to test, you need to consider if you\u2019re just wasting your time. If you don\u2019t regularly use that product or your profile doesn\u2019t fit the user demographic, don\u2019t fill in the form. 

          <\/li>
        2. Always follow up with the company: <\/strong>If you just receive your product and don\u2019t follow up with any feedback, you\u2019re unlikely to receive any more products in the future. These brands only send you things because they want your opinion, so be sure to provide it. It will only take you a few minutes to provide feedback.

          <\/li>
        3. Don’t give up after one day: <\/strong>Don\u2019t just sign up and then never revisit the website if they don\u2019t have anything for you to test straight away. New products are added to these sites all the time, so be sure to check up regularly to see what\u2019s available. 

          You can even chat with fellow testers or join testing communities on social media to increase your chances of being chosen.

          1. Set up a product testing email: <\/strong>It\u2019s a good idea to sign up for product testing emails so you can be alerted every time something new is available to test. However, all these emails can be overwhelming, so you may want to set up a separate email account for this purpose. 

            Using an alias email will also help protect your personal information when you sign up on new sites, enter competitions, and complete surveys. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
