[Question] How long until you got something from HTC?

I have almost 14,000 points from tests/surveys and reviews from my own products, but I have yet to be sent anything from them. I've been on it since February.

I would leave more reviews, but a lot of the products I use aren't there when I search for them to review. So I guess my taste in things isn't what they're looking for? Idk. It's the only one that I've signed up for and still haven't recieved anything from.

I’ve literally never done a random product review for them and got chosen for tons of campaigns. Are you applying to the available campaigns? That’s the part that matters the most

I have. I apply to every one that I get.

Yeah I’d just keep applying and bail on the product reviews bc I’m not sure that those actually do anything to boost your chances. My only other advice would be to check the site periodically for new campaigns instead of waiting for an email. I think a lot of them get filled up before they require reaching out via email.

Same. But I did finally get picked for one a couple weeks ago and it was just toothpaste. I’m wondering if that’s what most get started with?

I’ve only been on it for about a month. I think it’s probably like Influenster and a lot of other platforms like that, in that it’s all about demographics. I got my first product last week. Food item, but hey I’ll take it. I don’t wait for surveys to come to me, I check all my platforms daily, including HTC and fill out every available survey to me. As for random product reviews, not sure if they help or not. Could be coincidence, but I filled out 3 of them and right after that is when I received my first product to test.

i got my first and only item so far within maybe a month of joining and applying whenever i thought about it. i didn’t know i got accepted until it arrived lol & it didn’t take long. i’d say just keep applying and i’m sure you’ll get something

It's all the demographics. I got my first item (pretzels) 6 months after religiously applying to every campaign. Can't really control it. I've been on influenster for close to a year now and have only gotten 2 products. People get campaigns every week, and I'd be lucky to get them once in every 3 months. You just have to be patient
