So, my first question is – have you heard of Influenster? My second question is, do you like free stuff? If you answered ‘no’ to the first question and ‘yes’ to the second question – click the link, friends! Because this is a website that makes reviewing products that you’ll actually enjoy reviewing simple and easy. (Do I sound like a saleswoman yet?!) PS: If you said ‘no’ to liking free stuff.. just go.. we can’t be friends.
So let me tell you how Influenster works! Sign up, enter your social media accounts, and find out how influential you are! Based on your followers and friends on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. you will receive a score. Then, be active in the community. That’s IT. When I buy any new product I look for it on Influenster and leave a review. I earn badges in different categories based on the different products I review. For example, if I review a beauty product then that would count toward my Beauty badge! Then, if a VoxBox becomes available involving beauty products I may be chosen to receive it! Once I receive my VoxBox – I check my box in on Influenster.com and share my opinions with everyone on all of my different social media accounts. There are different tasks to complete like, “Share a photo of your VoxBox on Instagram”. You just check them off as you go and the more you do, the more chances you have to win more things from the companies who supplied products in that box. Make sense?
I signed up to be an Influenster a few years ago and on top of getting a ton of free stuff I have found some tried and true products and companies that I wouldn’t otherwise have known about. These are products that are now staples in my daily routine! The last box I received, the ModaVoxBox (pictured above), included so many awesome things! I found the perfect clear lip liner to match ALL of my lipsticks and a new hair mask by Clairol called Hair Food that has basically saved my hair. These are things I never would have gone searching for but now that I have had a chance to test them out, I will be buying them the second I run out! This is kind of wonderful for a person like me because I never want to try new products for fear that I wont like them and have wasted money.
I’m sharing this little sales pitch with y’all because I think a lot of people are under the impression that you have to be invited or you have to have a blog or you have to do a lot of time consuming things in order to qualify. None of those things are true! People ask me all of the time how I get to review products and I thought it was time I told you all just how easy it is.
Now go sign up and let me know if you have any questions because free stuff is fun and I shouldn’t be the only one enjoying! =)
OK, I'm sold! I signed up. I'll have to add this to my weekly routine. It looks like a much better option for reviews than Yelp. I'll definitely have to use it for a few months before I write about it on my blog!
I’ve had so much fun with it! And the thing is that sometimes I’ll go a few months without using it but then once I start up again, I’m right back in the game. I like that because life can get busy, ya know? 🙂 Let me know how you like it or if you have any questions!
