I've heard of product testing but never knew it could be true. Most stuff you hear like that is almost always a scam. I never do anything until I read upon it and know it's legit and not a scam. I don't like to give out my information if their just going to scam you and can get your information for something you don't know about. I would continue investigating and know what is legit and what is not. Good luck.

Hi, If there is, it would be very rare. I have signed up to websites before. You give in your details and stuff, but it didn't seem legit. They ll ask to complete surveys and stuff. I completed everything, but they never got back to me. But I was really keen on it anyway so you'd have to do more research. I personally don't think so though. Like, why would they pay others to test products? Just too good to be true. AND on top of that they say things like, "you can keep the product after for free". I think it would be hard to find a legit site.

I dont know any sites that pay you to test out products but I am on smiley360 and bzzagent and on those I earn points towards gift cards and things like that for trying out the products they send you and reviewing them and telling friends about the products. For smiley360 I just got to get two free bottles of 5 hour energy. I do a lot of survey sites as well and a lot of times they will send me products to try. Right now I am testing out a deodorant and I just finished testing out oreos. Its fun because after Ive tried the products I get money or points into my survey site accounts.

is smiley360 a legit site? I have heard of it before and was going to try it but didn't know how it worked? If you could tell me more i'd appreciate it, thanks.

I signed up for smiley360 about a year ago and never bothered to figure it out until now. I got bored and decided to check it out to see what it was about. I'm really not sure what the point system is for but I do enjoy getting to try things out for free. I didnt care much for the 5 hour energy drinks but hey they were free and I wanted to try them out anyway so getting to try them out for free was awesome. I hope I get to get more free things to try with them soon.

I was also a member of bzzagent for awhile and they really did pay and send you free products to test. It's actually a really fun way to earn some extra money and the only reason I stopped participating was that I ran out of free time and stopped doing any sort of online earning activity. I've recently gotten back into the swing of things so thank you for reminding that bzzagent still exists!

Product testing does exist. However, their might be only a small amount available and it depends on where you live. There are a few good sites already listed in other comments, you could try them. Also, crowdtap is okay, you earn points to redeem for gift cards, though. But I've gotten samples of woolite, full size of McCormick spices and Old Navy coupons for jeans for me and 3 friends. Then you give a report. The better reports getting HIGHER points for more valuable gift cards. Also, Toluna does product samples, Duncan Hines will send you things to try but you don't get paid. BzzAgent is good too, I just haven't been at it long. Some survey sites send you surveys and occassionally they'll mail something for you to try and then fill another survey about it. I've done that with diapers and 2 different kinds canned foods. Great question, and good luck. Your best bet though is to get into survey sites and do the action groups, where you are involved in a conference type for an hour or more and can earn from $75 - up to $100 or more. But if it's all on the phone, not sure it's worth it. Good Luck.
