Through some of the online survey sites I have noticed they have product evaluations available. I just received my first product and understand that as a tester you are not allowed to talk about the product because it is not technically on the market yet. But one thing I definitely love about this not only do you get to keep the product for free, but most companies pay you a compensation for reviewing this stuff.
I love getting free stuff especially stuff I use. How about you guys? Any of you survey people participate in these product reviews? And what do you think about this type of other form of money?

I've tested tons of products, from this to that, can't say which ones either. I like testing stuff and feeling like my opinion matters. I know they spend a lot of money on testing new stuff so I always try to be honest whether I liked it or not.

Would you mind posting the link to the site? Every site I sign up for never sends me anything. Some of them I've been members for about 3 years...and still nothing. Would love to join though, if you don't mind.

one of them is not so easy to sign on to. You have to wait until you see a banner and then sign up. No referrals unfortunately.
So look for Pinecone Research banners and sign up with them. I just signed up with them less than a month ago and I was able to begin a product eval within the last week. Haven't got it yet, but I think it is on it's way.

Hey there Taface, yes hon I have two product evaluations going on this week myself. I love it, not only do you keep the product but they pay you to do it as well. Pm me the the information about the site you are evaluating for if I am not a member I may sign under you.

I definitely will. How many sites are you with? Maybe we can help one another out with referrals. LOL

I like the product evaluations, too. It's happened several times that I've been asked to evaluate a product I already really like or which I quickly come to like as soon as I try it. The only thing I don't like about them is having to send product packaging or the product itself back sometimes -- it doesn't cost money (except for gas if you have to drop it off somewhere...that's actually a big expense these days!) but it is a hassle and seems a little unnecessary in some cases, even though I understand that companies want to keep their new product ideas top secret.
