Well, Influenster is a FREE program where you take short surveys and earn badges on their website in order to qualify for a FREE box of samples (sometimes the samples are actually full-sized products!) to try out or share with your family and friends, then review on Influenster.com. You can also qualify for even more FREEBIES and special deals from the brands that work with Influenster! What’s really unique about Influenster is that it is not a paid subscription program (the boxes are sent to you at no cost), rather, it’s a community of “trendsetters” who like to try out, share, and spread the word about products. Members qualify for boxes based on demographics and statistics as well as unlocking “badges” and promoting the products you try through reviews and social media. I've already earned several badges that have qualified me for the VoxBoxes that I've already gotten and I am totally geeked out about trying to earn more! It's such a blast to open those boxes and unpack all of the goodies inside - it feels a bit like my birthday just keeps coming over and over again! (See? I told you I was geeked out. ;) )
You're probably thinking to yourself, "There has to be some kind of catch." Believe me, I was skeptical at first, too, but there isn't one! Influenster is completely FREE to sign up for and when you qualify, it's completely FREE to receive your very own box of the latest product samples.
