Home Tester Club is a product testing community that is completely FREE to join. And no, I don't get any sort of commission for referring you. I have just been having a lot of fun with it lately, so I thought I would share it with you!
Creating an Account
Once you create your account on Home Tester Club, you can fill out your profile information. This gives them a little insight into who you are, your family sizes, pets, etc. From there you can fill out surveys for products to try out.
The surveys allow companies to see if you would be a good fit for their products. You also have to be willing to post about your testing experience to social media.
They will ask you to submit a review on the Home Tester website where you can submit a picture as well. I would recommend taking multiple pictures to post to your social media too.
My Experience
I'll give you an idea about my most recent product test...
I filled out a survey on the Home Tester site about children's toys. My oldest daughter fit into the age group that was requested. The survey took me through a series of questions about what my kids like to play with, would I be willing to test the product within three days of receipt, among others. I submitted the survey and waited to hear back.
Usually, they send you an email notification if you are accepted for a product trial. In this case, I didn't actually receive an email. But a few days later I received three toys in the mail to test. The reason I knew it was from Home Tester Club was that they had images of the product within the survey I had taken. And they also included postcards with each product to let me know what I had to do after testing the toys.
Toy Test
We are given three toys to test:
Charlotte was so excited to try everything! And Rhyleigh wanted to take part in the sticker action (lol). I took photos of each toy along with the girls interacting with it so I had material to post to my social media along with my review.
I made note of what the girls enjoyed about each toy and what I thought could maybe be improved.
Here are the reviews I left for each of the toys:
"Deluxe Activity Heart
The amount of items included in the activity case is really great for the price! It came with multiple sticker rolls, a stamp and ink pad, scissors, crayons, an activity pad and activity roll. The scissors are plastic and kid safe. The activity pad was a lot easier to use than the roll. But we just taped the roll down as my daughter used it and she would unroll it as she went along. The stamp is really cute and can be used in the activities provided. We only had it for one day so far and it's already kept my daughter occupied for a few hours! This is definitely a toy I would buy as a gift for friends and kids in our family!"
"Sticker N' Color Heart
This toy is really cute! The perfect stocking stuffer size for Christmas or as a small little gift for a birthday. I was surprised at all the little items that fit in there! My daughter enjoyed coloring on the activity sheet and putting the stickers down. Her little sister wanted in on the fun so she snuck a couple stickers in the process! My only complaint would be the rolled paper. She was getting frustrated that it kept rolling up as she was coloring so I had to straighten it out for her. If the paper was in the form of a mini heart notepad that might make it a little easier to use. But other than that I thought this was a really fun toy. It is definitely something I would buy for my kids and recommend to friends."
"Valentine Activity Fun
The toy is really cute in the packaging - something I would definitely pickup and check out in the store. My daughter was really excited to see the stickers and crayons. She immediately dove in and started coloring. I liked that it was a mix of both coloring and activities that gave the stickers a purpose. My only complaint would be the closures on the case. They seem like they would break easily. But overall this is definitely a toy I would buy for her and her friends for their birthdays."
Now I'm going to be REAL with you here...I'm still somewhat new to the whole Home Tester thing. There's some products on there that I see people testing, and I'm like, "What? How do I get to test that?!" They have food items. I would test the heck out of some snacks and give a lengthy, honest review!
Overall, I think it's a pretty sweet gig. You answer a couple of questions, receive free product, leave a review, and you get to keep the product afterward. If you have the time, and you want to discover some new items, I'd say take a look into it if you're interested. And there's no obligation to keep your account either. It's literally FREE and you can quit if and when you want.
If any of you are a part of Home Test Club or you if you decide to sign up, let me know what you think! If anyone has any other platforms to recommend for product testing, feel free to share with the other mamas on here.
Happy Testing!
