I often have people email me asking how they can get free products to test and do similar things. The other day I was reading an article in a magazine about this and so I thought I would write up a quick post with LINKS (Yes, links, so you can check the sites out yourself!)
If you are chosen to host a party in your home (you do NOT have to have a blog to do this) Houseparty will supply you with everything you need to get the party started! You simply apply online to host one of the parties they have listed on their site. If you are chosen, the site will help you send out invitations and manage your RSVPs. After your party you fill out a survey and share your experience via photos, videos and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. (Being socially connected online can improve your chances of being picked to host a party.)
You can test new products through Shespeaks. (No need to have a blog for this site either!) You simply fill out a Welcome survey to become eligible to try a variety of services and products. If you are chosen to review the product, they send you the product to review and it is yours to keep. All you will be asked to do after reviewing the product is fill out an anonymous survey.
At Vocalpoint you join an online community of moms, take short surveys and receive weekly customized newsletters with offers for new-product testing.
This is one you log into using your Facebook account. (If you don’t have Facebook, what are you waiting for!?) You will be asked to answer polls to help brands understand your interests so they can send you products to test. With Crowdtap you can earn rewards such as gift cards, discounts and free products!

There are a lot of Groups and Forums you can join at Mom Bloggers Club. There are groups to help you get Followers and so forth and Groups to become Product Testers. This group was great in helping my blog grow and I highly recommend it!
I am sure I could go on and on, however it’s getting late and these are all I can think of at the moment. If I missed any feel free to add them in the comments now.
