How to Get and Try New Products FREE

If you're like me, you're always curious about new products, but maybe you don't want to waste your money on them if they're no good. One of the best ways, of course, is to watch the weekly coupons. New products almost always have the high value coupons in order to entice people to check them out. Many of our favorite websites also will offer free samples through their email list, their website, or freebie pages. This was how I first tried Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, one of my all time favorite products. They mailed it to me, I stuck it under the sink, and when someone wrote all over my wall with a marker, I found it, it worked miracles, and I was hooked.

Here are some other good ways to get to try out new products, and some even pay you in cash or other free products.

Bzzagent is a great site. Their goal is a different style of advertising, called viral advertising. Basically, they discovered that word of mouth is the best advertising a product can get, so they send out products along with valuable coupons to their agents. The idea of this is that you get it, try it and like it, then you tell all your friends how much you love it and they buy it, too. What's better? They encourage you to write reports about the conversations you've had about the product, and give you points (through MyPoints, even) for each report you write.

Vocalpoint (done by Proctor and Gamble) is somewhat similar, though they don't pay you to write reports. They will send out a pile of coupons or sometimes the actual sample, then they will maybe ask you to do a poll on the product. It's a fun community as well.

SheSpeaks is a lot like Vocalpoint. I have only recently joined them, so I am not as familiar with their methods. They also send out items to test and have an online community for people to discuss different products. Go ahead and try it out with me.

The great thing is that you don't have to pay anything at all to try new things, and you get to tell all your friends about the next big up-and-coming products.

One thing I would like to add. Often times you will see a banner ad on a webpage or get an email from someone claiming that you can try out and keep laptops, etc. These kinds of things are indeed scams, either looking to take your money for nothing or get a lot of your information for spammers. Please remember that if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. No company should ask you for money to join their trial offers or ask you to pay even a nominal fee for a "free" trial.
