So, you recently started a blog (if you still need to create a blog click here), built up some traffic to it, have some fans following you on social networks, and you'd like to recommend some products to your readers that would benefit them, but you don't know how to get these products for free.
I've been a product review blogger since the summer of 2012, and I enjoy receiving different products from Top Leading Brands and Small Businesses to help them promote their products. This brings awareness to my readers about products they may not know about and may help them with something they need.
Whether you're a beauty blogger, food blogger, or mom blogger, companies are looking for you to review their products on your blog, and some companies may compensate you for your reviews.
If you're interested in getting paid to test products without a blog, you must check this post out.
These are prerequisites that companies will look at to decide if they'll let you review their products:
- Google Analytics (unique visitors, sessions, and pageviews)
- Social Media Followers
- Email Subscribers
Some companies may be more lenient when it comes to deciding if they want to have you review their product or not.
Here are some companies that will help you be able to sign up to become a product reviewer, sponsored posts, and make some money:
1. Izea

Contact the company directly if you want to review a specific product on your blog. They might be willing to send you the product or samples for free.
Businesses will likely contact you for product reviews if your blog has a large following and receives high traffic. This can elevate your blog to the next level, as you can request compensation for your reviews and turn your blog into a source of income. However, it is vital to ensure that your reviews reflect your honest opinions so that you do not deceive your readers.
