Influenster Relaunch-Free Stuff, For Your Opinions!

Last January while I was liking a page on Facebook that a friend of mine had won a contest on, I noticed a lot of posts from people thanking a company named "Influenster" for their free item and talking about something called a "Vox Box". Well I was intrigued, so I first went to their Facebook page and liked it and then went to their website to see what they were all about. I have been a member every since.

Influenster is a website that you can join to test out new and upcoming products from popular companies such as Kiss Products, Palmolive, Bath and Body Works and Goody to name a few. It's not just beauty products but also healthcare, home products, pet products, green products, etc. When I first joined you earned badges based on your interests, took surveys and waited patiently to either get picked for a "Vox Box" or be selected for a particular brand item that would later qualify you for a "Vox Box" that met your profile. So what is a "Vox Box" you are asking? Well it is a selection of 6-8 full size or large samples of items that match you the badges you qualify for. When I first joined I acquired the "Beauty" badge, the "Mom" badge, the "Cat Lover" badge and a few others. Originally there were only about 9 badges that you could qualify for and the Vox Boxes were not very frequent, but all that has changed with Influenster's relaunch!

Several weeks ago Influenster relaunched their site and gave their existing members many more opportunities to get many more badges and it gave members more chances to qualify for a Vox Box. I was able to get the "Fashionista" badge, the "Gadgeteer" badge and the "Sweet Tooth" badge in addition to two others. Influenster is now by invitation only so you need to know a current member to get an invite, more about this later! A few days after the relaunch they started sending invites for several Vox Boxes and I was sent a survey and quickly qualified for the "Beauty Blogger" Vox Box which I received, love, and will be blogging about soon. You could also qualify for additional Vox Boxes depending on how much you did to promote Influenster.

I know you are asking, "What's the catch?". There is none, all you need to do is try the products and give your honest opinions about them through social media such as Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, InstaGram and Pinterest and you also need to blog. It sounds like a lot of work but the expectation is that you are influencing others with your same interests to try products that you have tried and loved or didn't love. They expect you to be honest, you aren't going to love everything you try and that is fine. When I research products I expect people to be honest about them and tell the pros and the cons as well. Influenster also rewards you for completing the tasks by having contests where you can win additional items and prizes and also allowing you to qualify for upcoming Vox Boxes. I am a very busy, working mom and it doesn't take a lot of time or energy to get the tasks completed, once you get use to what you are doing it takes very little time to record and upload a video or update a blog. I am on Facebook a lot and it just takes a few seconds to leave a comment on a product's page.

Having said all this, I hope you will check out Influenster! http://www.influenster.com/ I think you will love it as much as I do. If you want an invite just leave me a message and I will send you one, I currently have 5 up for grabs!! Let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to answer them for you.
