I started doing product reviews by accident truthfully. I started joining groups on Facebook that had coupon advice or sample offerings. While looking through news feed on various Facebook pages I saw some posts with pictures stating they received it for free for their honest review. Then I saw review groups posting asking for new members. I joined one and was hooked, that was about the beginning of February. Now I have joined a lot of groups and they are all about the same in what they want.

First fill out there member form

After filling out so many forms I now have a cheat sheet so I do not have keep searching for the answers. For all of your social networks, copy and paste your profile link. All groups also want your Amazon profile link.

How do you find this, is a picture tutorial from AmzReviewTrader, Source link: https://www.amzreviewtrader.com/profile-url.php

Copy (Command/Ctrl C) the URL on the top of the browser page and paste (Command/Ctrl P) the link into the required field on your AMZ Review Trader registration or profile.

Your Amazon Public Profile Link

How to find your Amazon Public Profile Link and enter it into your AMZ Review Trader profile.
Your profile link is required for you to be eligible to review the products for great discounts on AMZ Review Trader.
Go to www.amazon.com, go to the “Your Account” tab i the top menu. Then click on the link for “Your Account” in the drop down menu.

This will take you to “your account” page. Scroll down the page to the section titled “Personalization”
Within the Personalization section, click on the link “Your Public Profile” which is under the “Community” category.
Make sure you copy the whole link address including the www.amazon.com and the ID at the end.
PRO TIP: We highly recommend filling out your amazon profile fully while you are on the page on amazon. This will help the merchants get to know you and will also result in better review

In order to post any review on Amazon, not just from a group I mean even a personal review you have to purchase at least one item. No matter what the price of the item you need to purchase one item in order to verify your address.

In order to be accepted into these groups you have to provide that you know how to review by posting at least 5 reviews of anything that you have bought on Amazon or have around your house.

A couple of other things you need to know about Facebook Review Groups is there are also administrative task that you need to do to stay in them. What are they you may ask? Checking the groups Facebook Page for announcements. When there are announcements you will usually need to read it in its entirety and in the post there are specific instructions as to what to comment.

Warning!!! This is a very easy task but make sure you do it because it could be groups for them to either remove you from the group or ban you. These group admins talk to each other so it could also get you removed from another group too.

Opting in
On these groups page they will post when a product is up for review, it will have a picture and instructions. Some post late at night and some through-out the day. Again may sure you read all of the instructions and that you hover the person that submitted it to the group to make sure you are friends with them. When you comment on a post you are saying the group admin or to the seller directly what you will do for the product. Videos will usually get preference over everything else, you do not need a youtube channel to do a video but if you have it then it is another social network that you can offer a seller.

Types of review

Amazon

Video
Picture - 2 at least
Text only - You will hrdly get pick if you choose this option and not many sellers like this. But if you only do text make it as close to 100 words as possible. The minimal is 75

Social shares
Blog Post - if did a video include it and at least 2 pictures so it looks appealing not just words

Chats

Ok so now you have been chosen for a review from a Facebook group, what now? Are you familiar with Facebook messenger/chat feature? So once a admin decides to choose you for a promotion/product they will add you to a chat. Again read the instructions listed in the chat about the product. Some chats will have one code that everyone in the chats uses and some will have a list of names and beside each name will be a different code. Either way once you are on the page of the item that they want you to order, add it to your cart. Then copy the code for the Facebook chat into the promotion box, make sure that the code went through. How do you know it went through? Well on the right hand side shows your balance and if that does not change then do the code again. Always contact the group admin if there is a problem with a code. Some admins will have you order the product and copy and paste the order number into the chat and that is it. Some admins will want you to do that plus fill out a order form. Once you have ordered mute the chat so that you are not messaged every time someone else orders or ask a question.
Do not "leave the conversation" until you have reviewed the product and submitted the review form. Some groups do not want you do leave until they have checked your review and stated it is ok for you to leave.

Here is a list of some Facebook groups but there are so many more. Know this for every group that you request to join it will take up keep, meaning reading their announcements. How do you find Facebook review groups, do a search for either reviews or product reviews. Next g to groups and start joining and as you scroll down more will appears.

Getting Started
Once you have pressed join now they are in your groups on the left hand sign of the screen when you are on your home page. Click on a group and directly under their name are the following tabs
Discussion - there is where important things like the Pinned post, announcements and product promotions they have open or closed
Members - click this tab, this will show two other tabs, Members and Admins
Click on Admins and send request to them all. If you are not friends with the admins when they choose you for a promotion they will have to skip over you because they can not add you to chat to give you the promotion code to buy the product. If this happens too many times you may be removed from the group.

Mark your calenders Pinchme which a great place to sample major brand products is about to release samples on Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at 12:00 Eastern time. That is 20 days, 3 hours, 20 minutes from the time that I am writing this article. So what should you do, well first of all if you are not a member run on over to their website and join up so that you can take advantage of these wonderful offers. If you are a member have you complete all feedback in the way of surveys of past samples that you have gotten?

Feedback surveys do expire and I found this out when I first joined, I was inconsistent. I ordered a box and then it took a while to come, so I thought that I had to wait for my box to come before I ordered more samples.

WRONG

Newbies and veterans a like you can order a box every month on the date and time that they are released. Also know that sometimes for some unknown reason boxes take a while to come in the mail but that doesn't stop you from pinching more samples. Sometimes you will get around 5-8 items and sometimes you will get only two, they that is just how the cookie crumbles. Certain samples are reserved for special groups, so here is where having a completed profile comes into play, newbie and for the veterans every now and then go and update your profile. From time to time before a new sample release date I have gotten an email invitation to complete new bonus questions; if you received this do it right away. Why you say well they are sending this because of a new sample type and if your answers match what Pinchme or the brand is looking for then you will qualify for yet another sample. You have to understand that each of these tips get you one step closer, nothing guarantees but when they only a certain amount to give out what two categories do you think will rise to the top of the list?

Newbies and those most active; you can have the biggest parenting profile on Facebook but if you do not fill out your profile fully and they do not know you have a baby then baby food and other baby related items will not be offered to you.

So what should you do now that you have signed up, make sure your profile is current before sample release day and your wish list is complete. What is a wish you say? Glad you asked, well if you are new you do not have any past samples to click on and then click add to wishlist under the buy now button like us veterans. Do no despair, when you sign in up top on the left hand side are the following words:

Pinchme, Samples, Past samples, offers, Blog

Clicking Pinchme will take you back to the home page, samples will take you to any available samples,

Past samples – this is where you as a newbie would click

All samples that Pinchme has ever done will be there, you can sort the list or just go down and click on an item and then you will see a buy now button, right under that it will say add to wish list.

Offers – is where brands/companies have deals on their products

Blog – this is where Pinchme has various type of announcements or contests and things of that nature

On the right had side up top is all about you, the mail box icon are the following icons: letter, box and your name.

Letter icon -is like your internal mailbox and has any feedback surveys that are due or other messages

The box icon – this is like your shopping cart and on sample day when you are all done and if you checked out everything correctly then the number on your cart should be as it is now, zero. If there is a number you are not done and better hurry up before someone else snags that item, things go fast so make sure you are faster.

Your name gives you access to your general profile you can go here to update you address if you move or you decide you want to mail your box to a Post Office box.

If you do not remember any other tip of how to maximize your Pinchme experience then remember this, around five minutes or so before 12 est on sample release day sign in. Why do I say that if you come 20 minutes after all of the samples could be gone. Pinchme has grown a lot so that means thousands or maybe even more people are plugging in and they know the drill. Just wanted to drop some pearls of wisdom on of the many samples, freebie websites that I use. Wanna sign-up use my referral code 54WZD.
