Product testing is when you try out a product for a company and you give them your honest opinion of that product through a survey, quiz, or discussion questions. Most of the time this happens online but sometimes you may be asked to do a product testing in person. Also as part of the product testing, you may be asked to act as an influencer, and share your opinion of that product with friends and family and on social media. After you’re done trying out the product, you’ll be able to keep the product for free. It’s also possible that in addition to keeping the product, you’ll get paid for your review time.
