Best apps to recieve PR Packages 🫧🪞🌱📦

Hey besties! So many of you have been asking about how I snag awesome PR packages and expand my content. It’s truly not gatekept knowledge, but it does take a little strategy! If you're tired of just scrolling and want to start receiving, here's my personal breakdown of the best apps I use, especially if you're curious about platforms like JoinBrands and alternatives to Influenster. Let's talk JoinBrands. This one is fantastic for micro-influencers and anyone looking to start. The interface is pretty straightforward. You sign up, build out your profile with your demographics, interests, and social media links. Brands post opportunities, often asking for product reviews, social media posts, or even content creation. My tip for JoinBrands? Be thorough with your profile and apply to everything that genuinely interests you. The more you complete and the better your submissions, the higher your reputation score, which often leads to more invites and better-fitting campaigns! Then there's Influenster, probably one of the most well-known. It's all about your 'Impact Score' and filling out those 'Snaps' (product surveys). Getting a VoxBox (their PR package) feels like winning the lottery sometimes! To boost your chances on Influenster, make sure your profile is 100% complete, connect all your social media, and actively review products you already own. The more active you are and the more detailed your reviews, the better your chances of being selected. If you're looking for apps like Influenster, you'll want to explore platforms that focus on product testing and reviews, often requiring you to share your honest feedback. Beyond these two, I've had success with or heard great things about others. For instance, Skeepers (formerly Octoly) is incredible for beauty and lifestyle PR – you pick products you want to review, and if approved, they send them to you! Insense is another one that often features paid collaborations, but sometimes includes gifting opportunities as part of the deal. For broader brand connections, platforms like weSponsored and Stack can be great for finding various types of campaigns, from gifted products to paid partnerships. I also keep an eye on newer ones like Tailorie, Kale, and Try Your Best as the influencer marketing space is always evolving, bringing new opportunities for creators. Regardless of the app, a few principles always apply if you want to consistently receive PR packages. First, curate your social media profiles. Brands are looking for quality content creators, so make sure your feed is aesthetically pleasing, consistent with your niche, and showcases your unique style. Second, engage authentically. Don't just collect products; genuinely try them, use them as intended, and share your honest thoughts. Authenticity builds trust with both your audience and the brands. Third, be patient and persistent. It takes time to build relationships and get noticed. Always read the campaign instructions carefully and deliver on time, hitting all requirements. Remember, these platforms are about building a mutually beneficial relationship with brands through your valuable content. Good luck, and happy unboxing!
