Want to learn how to get free stuff in exchange for reviewing items online? Look no further. Here is the best comprehensive guide for how to get free stuff. I’m a huge fan of freebies so I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do.

How to get free stuff in exchange for reviews

First Things First.

If you like free stuff, you may also like these two posts:  Free Stuff Through Word of Mouth Marketing Sites.  and How to Review Things on Your Blog Without Becoming a Review Blogger

If you’re a mom or a mom to be, you’ll love this post on how to get over $500 worth of baby freebies: The Ultimate List of Baby Freebies

If you’re a regular reader, you know how much I love freebies.  My favorite part of being a blogger is getting the chance to try things out for free and review them. When I first started doing reviews I only got samples, now I regularly get free furniture!

It’s so easy to get free stuff in exchange for reviews. Not just for bloggers, but for everyone. Not everyone knows where to start. That’s why I put together this comprehensive list of how to get free stuff in exchange for reviews.

While you don’t have to be a blogger for all of these programs, it certainly helps.  It can’t hurt to have a large social media presence when you are trying to get the word out about products. I definitely suggest getting a Twitter, FB, Instagram, and Pinterest account if you plan to review items regularly. YouTube is another great way to review items. Learn more about becoming a social media influencer by reading this post. 

Here is a comprehensive list of all the ways you can get free products in exchange for reviews.

How to get free stuff on Amazon

UPDATE: Amazon no longer allows you to review their items in exchange for freebies. This being said, many sellers still do it. You can still do this on an individual basis, but most big groups listed below are limiting their reviews on Amazon. 

This is the most fun and easiest way for me to get free stuff because independent sellers put stuff on Amazon all the time. You know I hate to reinvent the wheel. Before putting this blog post together, I looked online to see what was already out there and found that Jamie from Some of This and That put together a fabulous list of all the ways you can do Amazon reviews.

Here is her list:

Dollar Deal Reviews

Amazing Deals Group

Home Product Testing

Shop with Reviews

Etekcity

Amazon PRIME Review Club

Uber Zone Club

AMZ VIP

If you really love Amazon, you should consider selling on there too! Check out this course from The Selling Family to find out how to get started earning big bucks on Amazon.

Word of Mouth Marketing Companies

If you love to share your opinion on social media, you’ll love working with WOMM companies. It’s a great way to try free full size products in exchange for spreading the word about it on social media.

Blog Ambassador Programs

Here are my two current favorite blog ambassador programs:

Wayfair Homemakers 

Mom Select (they are the ones who host Disney Social Media Moms Conference and Beaches Moms)

I’ve also had a lot of luck contacting the PR people for companies I’d like to work with. I just contacted Rustoleum for a collaboration, and now they are sending me free paint!

Once again, from searching online, I found a fabulously comprehensive list. This one is from Tiffany Reviews. It’s the best list of Ambassador Programs I’ve ever seen. She has even more on her blog! Please make sure to visit Tiffany Reviews to get even the latest and best reviews.

  9. Hannah, I love hearing about your good experiences! I’m working to build my social media accounts and I’m going to Pin this to go over again and again! I also shared it, I hope it can help other bloggers also, it’s a great list! Thanks so much!

  10. I’ve been a book blogger for years and my blog supports my reading habit; I’ve been reviewing for Snagshout for a few months; it’s ok but you still have to pay something. I’ll bookmark this page for future reference

  12. This is an amazing list!! I am a member of MANY of these on this list, but there are quite a few that I’m NOT already signed up for. I’ve been doing reviews for a long time now and am an active member for many sites.

    Thank you for sharing this amazing roundup on #SmallVictoriesSundayLinkup. I hope to see you again next week.

  14. wow! Thank you so much for all your research and hard work compiling this amazing list. I pinned so I can check it out when I have more time!!

  21. This is an amazing list. I am an influencer/member with a lot of the places listed but most of them I have never even heard of. Thank you for sharing – I will have to pin this for later.

  23. Hi Hannah,

    Thanks for the information! It is exactly what I was looking for. My 10 yr old son would like to review toys, games… He wants to make you tube videos and review products. Any advice for a starting point for a 10 yr old?

    Thanks,
    Cary

    • I’d have him start reviewing items he already owns in order to practice. Set up the channel, and put the videos up. Then send the link of the reviews to a few of his favorite companies. Many big companies have contact information for reviewers on their contact pages. It’s addicting! Once you start looking for PR friendly companies, you can’t stop! Keep me updated!

  24. Heads up..Amazon terminated my sisters account because she had to many reviews for free or discounted items, she tried to open a new account but Amazon recognized her card info and denied her new account set up. Its against Amazons rules to get paid in product for reviews.

    Reply

  26. This is a great list! I’m excited to try some of these :) One question for you though… When you’re messaging them, what do you say? If you wouldn’t mind, Could you give me a little sample of what to say to get the free products, please? Thank so much! :)

    Reply

  30. This list is fantastic, but just makes me want to move to the US (or even UK for some) where you can participate in the review process. There would have to be something similar in Europe but I haven’t mastered the local language yet! :) I’m still pinning for inspiration though!

  34. Thank you for the good writeup. It in fact was a enjoyment
    account it. Look advanced to far delivered agreeable from you!
    By the way, how could we keep in touch?

  35. I signed up to SQM where they pay me to shop, fly, take buses, eat at restaurants, stay at hotels and more. It’s a really great company and I’m really happy with them.

  36. Hello,

    I am confused about how this might work. Do i have to contact the seller and ask for them to ship the product in exchange for a review? Thanks so much, and I am super excited about this!
