How to get FREE STUFF!

Summary of Key Points (Free Stuff + How-To Lifestyle Tips)

Getting “Free Stuff” Online (Main Idea)

• Brands increasingly send products to creators to review using UGC (user-generated content) rather than funding large ad budgets.
• The speaker frames this as a lifestyle and money-saving strategy because daily costs (example mentioned: gas in Los Angeles) are high, while she often:
  • Works from home, and/or
  • Gets paid for events.

How to Get Accepted / Receive Product Offers

TikTok Shop

• If you don’t have enough followers for free samples:
  • Add your email to your TikTok description.
  • Post TikTok Shop-style videos showing products around your home.
• How the “system” works:
  • Posting videos increases visibility, so brands notice you.
  • Brands then email you outreach/collab requests.
• Once you’re accepted:
  • You can search brands and request collaborations.

General Approach (Other Platforms)

• Sign up on affiliate/product storefronts such as:
  • Amazon, Walmart, LTK, Pinterest, etc.
  • Use shop links in your posts/videos.
• Reach out directly to brands using:
  • Emails or marketing contacts found on websites/socials/LinkedIn.
• Use a press kit (example mentioned: made with Canva templates) and train an assistant to distribute it (example mentioned: via LinkedIn).

Scam Warnings / Safety Checks
