Newest FREE Product In-Home Test Opportunity! #freebies

Would you love to get product test opportunities like this?

This is my most recent free product test survey opportunity from my FAVORITE survey site, Synovate.

I earned points for filling out a survey that they sent me- then at the end, they told me I qualified for this in-home survey- two HUGE bags of dog food to test out!

This not only saves me a ton of money, since dog food is pricey, but I also get rewarded again for giving my opinions! Awesome, right?

And this isn’t the first time I’ve gotten to try products in my home, about every other month- sometimes even more often- I qualify for some type of fun in-home product testing opp!

How to get started:

If you’re not already a member, it’s a great time to sign up! It’s super quick and easy to get started, and you can earn points today by filling out all of your profile surveys. And Synovate lets you redeem those points for cash!

Join Synovate Survey Panel today!

Any questions?

If you have ANY questions about survey sites, or how they work- or Synovate in particular- feel free to leave a question in the comments. I try to answer questions within 24 hours.

If you’re already a fan of Synovate, share your favorite product test opp with me!!

This is the one we’ve all been talking about!!

Everyone loves FREE money, right?

And we all love getting FREE products too, right?

Of course! And with my VERY favorite Survey site- You get BOTH!

Yep, at Synovate you take fun online surveys, and they reward you with points that you can redeem for cash. Easy peasy.

What’s even cooler, is that Synovate is one of the VERY best companies at offering product testing– If you qualify, they’ll send you free, full size products to test out in your home. Then, after you give them your opinion about the product, they’ll give you more cash reward points. Getting PAID to try FREE stuff? Rockin’.

Sign up for Synovate today!

I’m sure you’ve heard about Synovate before… It’s a favorite of almost everyone!

But because they have a lot of great opportunities, they only open up enrollment once in a while- to make sure that they have enough great offers to keep their members happy. But they opened up today… So hurry and see if you get accepted!!

Example of a recent product test:

Synovate sent me a bottle of Italian Dressing to test out- and by the way, it was delicious! I wish I knew what brand it really was!- and then I earned $9 bucks in rewards points for doing a survey on it.

Then I got a SECOND bottle of FREE dressing. And earned ANOTHER $9 bucks in rewards! That’s $18 bucks I was paid to eat 2 bottles of FREE Italian dressing. Not bad, huh?

If you get it, let me know!

Are you a fan of Sunshine and Sippy Cups? Then I’d so appreciate your support as I compete in the Cheap Sally “Bring Home the Bacon” competition! Show them that Sunshine and Sippy Cups deserves a spot in Round 2! Thanks so much — I have the BEST fans!

Survey sites I’m having good luck with lately….

Read on to learn some of the sites I’m having really good luck with lately, and share your favorites too!

Another Product Test Opp from MySurvey-

I swear, I’ve been on a ROLL with MySurvey lately… This is my 3rd product test opportunity in less than 2 months, which is amazing.

And yep, it’s another style of diapers to test out! I’m thinking that if you’re a mom, you need to join MySurvey ASAP, since all of my product tests and most of the surveys I’ve been getting rewarded for, are targeted towards moms with babies or kids under 5. It’s an easy peasy sign up, and the rewards rock too!

BIG Money Surveys at Toluna-

Another site I’ve been having some great luck with over the last few months, after a loooooong dry spell with them, is Toluna! I went a few months with hardly any earnings… It seemed like EVERY survey I would attempt would kick me out after a few questions, saying I didn’t qualify. So of course, that led to me not even wanting to try very often.

Then, I started getting some BIG money-points surveys; like, $10-$30 surveys every few days. And…. I actually qualified for almost all of them! I just had another one this week, a two part survey, but the points from the two combined equal over $30, which is amazing. I’ve been letting them add up, so I can get a BIG check before holiday shopping time!

Share your Favorites-

Have you noticed anything different with any of your survey sites lately? Any that you’re having great luck with? I’d love to hear some new one’s to check out… You know I sign up for TONS!

Remember.. The more sites you use, the more chances for good surveys, and the more money and free products you get. Plus, almost all the survey sites do monthly giveaways just for their members, with better odd’s than the big sweepstakes sites. So the more survey sites you join, the better your chances are to WIN big prizes too!
