First, let me give this disclaimer: Doing the things in this post does not guarantee that you will get an Influenster VoxBox (a box full of full-sized free products that you get to review and keep). These are the steps that I took to continually get them. I have shared these exact steps with several people and a few have reported back to me that they received theirs. This is not a sponsored post in anyway. This does not help me get more VoxBoxes. I'm just sharing my knowledge. Most of this information is in the fine print, or on their blog post but I'm going to share a few tips of my own. I'd also like to note that this is a COMPLETELY FREE opportunity. You don't have to pay for anything to receive these full-sized products.
Now that I've gotten that out the way, hello! I'm assuming you're here because you want to build your blog, social, or experience working with brands; or you just want to get free products that interest you. Either way, here are 5 things that I do continually to get VoxBoxes from Influenster:
1. Download the app and sign-up.
This might seem like a no brainer but this is truly the first step. If you've done that, good. If not, click here.
2. Complete your profile.
Fill out your profile in its entirety. Tell Influenster if you have a dog, kids, oily skin, etc. as long as you're comfortable sharing. This will help you qualify for a broader range of boxes. Your profile can be found in your settings under the About Me section.
3. Connect your social and share with friends/family.
Your impact page is the hub for all things social on the Influenster app. The more you share, the higher your impact score. If someone asks about how you received the products (as did most of you with me), tell them how it works and share your sign up link. Your special link can be found on the impact page by clicking the invite friends button.
4. Do the snaps and answer some questions.
Snaps are pretty much quick reviews you complete about products you already use. Influenster wants to hear your thoughts on products you're familiar with which help other Influenster's in the community know what to buy. In addition, if you search for a product that you use already and you see that someone has a question, if you know the answer chime in! Your snaps can be found at the bottom of your dashboard.
5. Check your inbox.
You haven't been checking your emails huh? I didn't think so! If you qualify for any voxbox, you'll be notified to take a pre-survey via email. Answer the questions truthfully; and don't drag your feet, there is a deadline for taking these!
After this, if you're selected, you'll get an email telling you that you've been chosen for a specific campaign! That means you have a VoxBox on the way. Congratulations!
This part is for everyone who is wants to build their brand and also learn a bit more about working directly with brands. Influenster campaigns are very similar to paid brand campaigns. Completing the campaign activities helps you become accustomed to deadlines, deliverables, etc. Is it mandatory to complete the activities? No, but when you do, you get a badge which is kind of like Influenster street cred. My advice? Do as many activities as you can to gain that badge. That way you'll have the blog posts, YouTube videos, and Instagram posts for other brands to refer to and see that you are capable of working with them. In addition, it's ok to share an honest review. You won't like everything in every VoxBox and that's ok. I think I've come across about one or two items that I didn't really care for. I try to explain why in my reviews and I won't blog about those items. I like to share items that I love that I know you all will too.
Right before your campaign is done (after a few weeks or so), you'll receive an email to take an ending survey to share how much (or how little) you loved your VoxBox! Feel free to answer truthfully. This helps the brands get better and helps Influenster learn more about your likes and dislikes. There is also a deadline for this survey!
Please Note: I shared screenshots of how things look in the mobile app. If you do use your desktop some things might differ. Most of the elements of Influenster can be accessed through your mobile device.
I hope these tips help you get your first VoxBox from Influenster! This might seem like a lot of steps but they are really easy to do. Surveys and snaps take as little as 5-7 minutes. You can do this while you're binge watching your Netflix faves. If you do get a VoxBox after doing these steps, please let me know. If you have more questions, feel free to ask them in the comment section below!
