Like most people I enjoy free things, I also enjoy being given the oppurtunity to try something new and to be able to give my feedback to a company or group in exchange for trying their product free of charge. This is why when I discovered Crowdtap I knew I had to try it out.
I beleive I first heard about Crowdtap about two years ago in Seventeen Magazine in one of their articles about ways to make some extra money. I logged on right away and gave it a shot. "Crowdtap is the Influencer Marketing platform, enabling leading brands to easily identify, activate and manage their influential consumers for real-time insights and powerful online and offline peer-to-peer marketing" (http://corp.crowdtap.com/about-us/). Its a great way for brands to market their products and get insight from average consumers like us.
Crowdtap isnt one of those annoying companies e-mailing you asking you to take surveys everyday or other boring time consuimg things. Crowdtap offers a few different things for you to do and you can choose what you want to participate in and what you dont want to and do it on your own time. One of the main things you do (especially when you first sign up) is answer quick hits. Just log into crowdtap and you will see quick hits right there on your home screen ready to be answered. It looks a litte something like this
For most questions like this one they give you different options to choose as your answer. Of course you can also choose to hit the skip button at the bottom if you dont want to answer a questions for any reason and move on to the next quick hit.
Quick hits are an easy and quick way for marketing brands to get opinions on products and ideas from their customers. Youll often see "Web shares" where you can view a web page made by a company and choose to take their web share challenge (or not) of sharing it via facebook or twitter with your friends and getting points rewards based on people who view the content through your link.
A few quick hits I just answered where based off of how appealing different flavors (such as herbed butter and sea salt) were for kettle cooked potato chips.
As I just mentioned you can get points by doing quick hits and other activites which you can later redeem for Amazon and other gift cards in the crowdtap store! You get a certain number of points for every quick hit you answer (such as 25 points for answering the question pictured).
There are a few other types of quick hits but I'll leave those up to you to discover if your interested.
As you can see there is also a missions tab. This is where you can earn a larger number of points my completing a misson such as...
I just completed the "complete 200 quick hits mission" which got me 6,000 points. And Im hoping to complete the Star Sampler and Champion Sampler from my Zicam Rapid Melts Sampling. Which brings me to...
Actions!
There are different types of actions which you will get the ability to participate in more and more after you answer more quick hits and do good in actions offered to you. The first type of action you typically get a chance to participate in is a discussion. In a disscusion there are different questions asked where you can respond one time and then you can comment on other peoples responses an unlimited number of times. You get points for your response and 25 points once a day when you comment on someone elses. You can win top awards and get stars by completing high quality responses which are detailed and provide good information, thoughts, etc. and your more likely to get a top award the more you participate by commenting on other peoples responses and sharing your thoughts.
Another action type is hosted party. You get the oppurtunity to host a party with included items to share a product with your friends.
Heres a Hosted Party Im currently trying to get accepted for
This is a really cool hosted Party were you get a windows phone 8x by HTC to play with and show your friends and you also get three swag bags to give to winners of a challenge at your party!

I promise its not spam and there arent any virus' or anything. These links just help me get extra points which would make me really happy :]
One of the last things I will mention is another action called a Sample and Share. I finally got the opportunity to participate in one of these at the end of 2012 and I was really excited! A company gives you a product to sample, they also give you a few extras to share with friends for them to sample and then you provide feed back on the product. The sample and share I got to do was for Zicam and their rapid melts products which are great! Go ahead and check out my post about the Zicam rapid melts to hear more about it! And sign up for Crowdtap! After you use it for a little while and get more oppurtunities you will love it! It takes time to get to the sample and shares but it is so worth the time and effort!
