Sign up and connect all of their social media (and blog) accounts to their profile. Influenster sends boxes of free stuff out to these influencers in hopes that they will promote the products on their social media channels.
The Influenster VoxBox is a box that is full of full-sized, free products they send to influencers for them to review and then keep.
Influenster matches your profile with brands and products that are looking for more exposure. When you are active on Influenster, it signals to the app that you will be more likely to promote products they send to you.
With that said, it’s more than just a way for people to get free stuff.
Influenster is also an app that is packed with millions of honest reviews of products. Even if you don’t want to get a VoxBox, you can use the app to find out what people think about different pet products or makeup tools.
Influenster works directly with brands that want to be seen and promoted by people with social media profiles and blogs. For example, if a dog food brand needs promotion and exposure, they will send dog food in a VoxBox to influencers who have listed on their profile that they have a pet dog.
It’s the best way for brands to reach exactly who they need to reach.
Then, influencers who receive a VoxBox will (hopefully) review the products and share their favorite things about them on their social media profiles.
Note: Social media promotions and reviews are completely optional. Influenster does not “pay” influencers with free products. They just ship them in a VoxBox and if the influencer likes what they got, they either share about it or they don’t.
If you have a blog or you are active on social media, you qualify to receive VoxBoxes. There are a few things you can do to increase your chances of receiving free stuff from Influenster.
*Follow This Guide
Fill out All of Your Snaps
The most important thing you can do to qualify for a VoxBox is fill out all of your Snaps.
What Is a Snap?
These are short surveys that are in your profile. The app uses your answers to these surveys to match you with brands that fit naturally in your lifestyle.
Some of the snaps take 30 seconds, and others might take a little longer. When you first sign up, you will have a lot of snaps to fill out. It is well worth the time you will invest in answering them when you consider the value of the free stuff you could get from it.
Be Active on the App
Another thing that will help you get picked for a VoxBox is to be active on the app. Follow other users, comment on their reviews, etc.
Ask questions for other people to answer and answer other people’s questions. Active users are more likely to get free stuff than inactive ones.
Completely Fill out Your Profile
You also need to go in and fill out your profile. Be detailed and fill out every single field, including the profile picture. They use this information to pair you with appropriate brands, so you might get overlooked if you leave it unfinished.
This includes attaching your Facebook and Instagram accounts to your profile. Even if you think you don’t have very many followers, having it on your account will help!
When you connect your social media profiles, Influenster will create an Impact Score. This score plays a huge role in whether you are chosen for a VoxBox.
Do Multiple Activities on VoxBoxes You Receive
The only required activities after you receive a delivery are to check in your box (letting them know you received it) and to fill out a final survey with what you thought about the items.
However, when you receive a box, they will also send a list of activity requests. These could include sharing the box on Instagram, snapping a pic of it on Snapchat, or sharing it on Facebook. Each item you do will give you more points. Honestly, the more things you do, the more active you are, and the more attractive your profile is for more VoxBoxes.
Grow Your Social Media Followers
The number of social media followers you have does impact whether you are chosen for VoxBox campaigns. Do everything you can to grow not just your followers but also your engagement rate.
Tip: I’ve discovered that the Influenster app does not update my follower counts automatically. So every time I have a dramatic increase in followers, I will go in and reload or reconnect my accounts. This usually does the trick!
After you sign up for Influenster, check out your Social Impact page. This is where you can connect your social media accounts and track your impact score. If you are a blogger, you can add the Influenster widget to your blog, which will earn you an automatic 10 points. After you go through and add them all, it might take a few hours to calculate your Impact score.
Another thing that will increase your Impact Score (and chances of getting a box) is by inviting your friends. If you invite friends who are active on social media, that helps your score!
Pay Attention to Their Emails
When Influenster thinks you are a good fit for an upcoming VoxBox, they will send another email with more questions to answer. You need to answer these emails and follow the instructions to be chosen for these campaigns.
One way to never miss an email from them is to add their email address to your “priority” list. Set up your inbox so that all emails from them are displayed prominently in your inbox.
It is also imperative that you answer these emails promptly. Some of the VoxBox campaigns fill up quickly. If you wait too long to answer the survey, you might miss out on the chance to receive the box.
BrokenAngel my friend signed up for this a while ago and hasn’t received anything as yet
No I haven’t got a clue I hopefully will get a box that will match my box profile the brand brand will choose program
Pronounce account thank you in for lunch I hope I get a box in the future I would love to try all your friends out the top one to be on all the brands
You don’t get anything if you haven’t got a large social media following, so if you’re like me and hardly use social media, I wouldn’t waste your time x
I’m not on all social media sites and have very little input on some I am signed up for . I mainly only use Facebook
