Hi, we've published a Product Testing guide for getting freebies.

Back to helsbels1982's original post...

hi guys

i know alot of information has already been put onto the forum regarding product testing etc but i keep geting confused as to who is best etc (doesnt take much to confuse me :rolleyes2)

would n e 1 be able to let me know who is best to become part of the panel. i am currently diasabled and therefore on benefits so obviously cant join anything that may affect my benefits (although im not even sure if any would anyway tho).

i have registered with boots (although stil not recieved the paper work or anything yet to register properly) and have sent an email to tesco but stil waiting for reply.

any suggestions would be great (plus, does it matter how many you join?)
thanx
helsxxx

    I have done some product testing through a couple of the survey sites - Lightspeed & Valued Opinions. I have found these two to be the best there is product testing and surveys.

    I don't think it really matters how many you apply for.

    The only ones I've really had any stuff to test from are Pinecone, Tesco, Litmus Test and Ipsos. I've had the odd item off the Mars Panel and Ayton Moon (though some people gets lots to test, I've been a member of theirs for over a year and tested a couple of items at most).

    So there are a few really. I think if you have a search on the referrers thread you should be able to find links to most of the ones I've listed, otherwise pm me and I'll send you links to the ones I can.
    If I have been of any assistance, or my information is useful, please press the "Thanks" button :)

    I get something from Boots in the post most days. Although they are not taking on any more people at the moment.
    Bzz agent tests are in my signature
    Cosmetic research which is now clix is quite good, I get something on average every other month.
    Litmus test - only ever had one thing.
    Pinecone - Had £40 luncheon vouchers in the last 8 months. Members cant recommend, you just have to be lucky and see a banner ad.
    Lush - about 5 things in the last year
    Tesco home panel - something on average every month/2 months. Dont think they are recruiting at the moment.
