I’ve been around the micro-influencer sphere for a while.
There have been review programs for influencers since the beginning, and a lot of them have closed due to shady practices or blatant disregarding of website TOS’s.
StackInfluence is different, and pretty easy in my opinion. You sign up, select a campaign, purchase the item via the link provided, review the item as outlined in the campaign, and you are refunded your purchase price via Paypal or Venmo.
I’ve done a few campaigns with them (including this horrible upholstry stain remover), and reimbursement is super quick- less than an hour after you verify your social media post. And reviews can be honest. I try not to sugarcoat reviews, because if you are spending money on something I tell you is good, you better believe that it’s good. That stain remover was not. It was stanky and made my couch look worse.
Most items are for sale on Amazon, but there are a few on Walmart.com too. I tend to redeem my rewards/rebate app rewards for Amazon Gift Cards and add them to my account, so when I order stuff through apps like StackInfluence, I’m not paying out of my own pocket for them!
Here are just a few of the newer campaigns I have my eye on:
I have a few artists in my family who would enjoy these Posca markers- If you’ve never used Poscas before, they are amazing Acrylic Paint pens!
And there is a certain Cryptid lover in my house who would love this BigFoot shirt.
If you have an Instagram or Tiktok account and you’d love to try new products, check out StackInfluence.
This is one of our family traditions, even since Bubs was a baby. My brother and I grew up doing this, too. I’m not sure if winter holiday light displays on residential properties are big in other parts of the country, but here in Southern California, it’s serious business. Some of these houses put the Griswold’s to shame.
While I am not partaking in Black Friday, I know a lot of you do, so here are some deals (and freebies) that might excite you.
Looking to engage in some sustainable fun this weekend? Check out Porchlight Community Services’ end-of-year clothing swap this Sunday, November 30th, from 1pm-4pm.
Thrift stores are getting in on the Black Friday Sales, too. And why not? With more people on a tighter budget, thrift stores are a great way to save money while shopping, support a charity, and keep clothing and home goods out of landfills.
I don’t usually post a lot of Black Friday Deals, but this one is close to my heart.
Did you know that Fetch (my favorite cash back app of all time) has a co-branded American Express Card?
This is a deal I can get behind.
