So, I decided to look into product testing, more for the experience of writing reviews than anything else.
I found a few blog entries to help steer me in the right direction:
I first went to MyElectronicRewards.com as I thought the first blog entry seemed fairly straight forward. I decided to sign up and in the process of signing up, found that in order to "earn points" you have to sign up for trial memberships. Not a huge deal, but kind of a pain in the ass and a disappointment, actually.
Although I was reluctant, I am bored out of my mind recovering from wrist surgery. So, I opted to check my credit report (CreditReport.com) and for a two week trial membership with Netflix.
I was happy to view my credit, although I knew what to expect. And I am sitting here watching "Step Brothers" on my netbook via Netflix! But that's another post!
Anywho, before I signed up, I read over the information on what would be expected of me in terms of obligations. I was under the impression I would only have to sign up for two offers in 90 days, period.
However, after signing up for my two offers, I discovered there are three levels of trials that you have to choose two offer for; yes, six total. Needless to say, I wasn't happy. I read up and apparently still missed something.
Oh well, I guess. On to the next site.
I decided to look over BzzAgent.com and felt like this was more straight up. It's more of a community based approach, earning the privilege for testing/review opportunities based on your involvement within the site.
There is a section about web sites (Frogpond) where you can review sites and post your opinion. This is more what I was looking from the start. I looked over several sites, made several comments and found that this site likes surveys. Lots of surveys.
I am not sure how to actually get to test products yet, but I like the site a lot and find the design pleasing and navigation straightforward. Definitely worth checking out if you want another writing outlet, and possibly get free stuff down the line.
I still have a few other sites to check out, but definitely read up on any site before signing up! And then maybe read up a little more.
