This isn’t in reference to people to test your own line of products. I know there are a million apps/services for that.
I’m curious if anyone here has good ideas about how I can find product testers for our blog.
Basically, our company is eCommerce and media publishing, and on our blog we review a large number of consumer health products.
I want to find real people to test those products and share their honest opinion, and we will pay to send the products to them.
It’s asking ~15 minutes of work (filling out a questionnaire) for free products ranging from ~$30 to ~$500.
It seems like a great deal and something that many people would take to, but currently I’ve only found a few product testers by reaching out to our followers on social, and haven’t had luck on any other channels.
I’m wondering if any other entrepreneurs in this sub have been in a similar situation, and how you recommend finding these people.
Honestly, put an offer out on Reddit. Different sub-reddits will find you different groups with different demographics - it’s diverse here.
I for one would be interested in sampling and reviewing products. In Canada, there’s a hardware/consumer goods company called Canadian Tire that puts out a regular call for people to test products in exchange for a review on their website. Most people take it very seriously, even though it’s volunteer work for a major corporation, and so you get great feedback on products.
This is a good idea.
I have tried on Reddit but the issue is that much of it gets auto-flagged as promotional (which it really isn’t as the post isn’t to promote our website, the post is to find people with a really cool offer – our current product testers love getting a bunch of free stuff for minimal work).
If you have any subreddits in mind, let me know!
