They have different programs all the time. If you have a cell or flip video, its pretty easy. I don't see this company listed on SD, but its pretty fun. :)


NEW CHEER TRYOLOGY PROGRAM



We're excited to announce a new Tryology Program where you have the opportunity to try products for FREE.

One of our sponsors, Cheer, wants Expo members to try out their brightCLEAN liquid detergents and give their honest feedback on video.

We've got several varieties of Cheer brightCLEAN detergent - chances are we've got the one that's right for your laundry needs. Apply now to see if you qualify:

We only have a limited number of these new products to give out so the sooner you apply for the programs the better.

This site is awesome! I am doing a Tryology program right now for Pantene shampoo and conditioner. They sent me a full size sample of each and I just have to do a review of it in exchange. Plus, I get paid a penny for each video view I get.

I highly recommend this website.

I just finished this one - you might want to reread the rules - you do not get paid the penny for each view on the tryology videos :( Still an awesome program and site in general!

Oh, I was just speaking from the other video I did. I've made 11 cents on that one, lol. They do have a promotion right now where the first 100 videos submitted about Pantene products get paid $5. Pantene is what I tried.

You're not guaranteed to receive a bottle. They'll contact you to see if you qualify. ExpoTV is posted in Surveys. You will be asked if you are willing to post a video. The whole concept of ExpoTV is feedback to consumers, that's why they want you to upload a video pitching the product.

Thank you for applying to participate in our Gain with Febreze Freshness Tryology Program. There was so much interest in this program that it is now full.

One way to increase your chance of getting selected for our next Tryology program is to upload a video review. Go on - give it a try. That way we can know for sure that you'll do a video review of the product when we select for programs in the future.

You can make $10 for uploading your first product review, plus you will be entered to win $1,000 cash in our Back To School Giveaway.

Need some help making your first video? Hear from other Expo moms how to get started!

I did a search for expo tv and nothing came up. Not sure when I signed up but they send me surveys to apply for products tests. (You can also go to the website and apply too) It can be anything from household/beauty stuff to toys and video games. You have to have a video camera and basically you upload videos of yourself using the products.


http://www.expotv.com/register

From the linked page:
Benefits of Joining

1. Learn about new products and services from your peers
2. Share your opinion about products in video
3. Try out products for FREE - sometimes before they hit stores
4. Earn rewards & enter to win prizes

Here are the current product tests:

http://www.expotv.com/make/tryology

They also pay for reviews of the products but some are limited to the first 100 and limited to 2 reviews per person per product and I don't think you have get a product test to do these because one says review any Pantene product:

Nope, I've never posted anything and I just got confirmed to get a full bottle of Vaseline for a PT. Tatty did say though is you don't post your review after you get it that you won't get any more product tests. Which makes sense because when you sign up for different PT programs one of the things they ask is if you're willing to make a review video and video reviews are big part of the site.

I need help - How the heck do you upload a video to this site? I'm logged in, have 2 assignments listed that I got accepted into (deserted island and cheer review) and I try to click on "upload video" and it just takes me back to the assignment page. When I click on the individual assignment I don't see anywhere to click to upload video. What am I doing wrong? :confused: :confused:

09-29-2009, 02:52 PM
I finally recovered my password...I emailed Sarah directly and they weren't even aware of the problem (yet)....they fixed it pretty quickly and I got in to do my surveys.

I'm not real keen on the idea of uploading videos of myself, but maybe if I get a good product to evaluate.

Once you sign up, you have to wait for them to email you in order to try a product. I've been signed up since this was first posted, but have never received anything from them.


How will I know if I qualified for a Tryology Program?

You will receive an email notification from Expo letting you know that you qualified for a specific Tryology Program which will give you directions on how to confirm your interest and lock in your spot in the upcoming program.

You get credited easily (like within a day or 2 of posting the video review), but then I think those points are pending for 30 days before you can cash them out. I've only redeemed for Amazon gift certs and those came quickly. I'd say within a week. So there is a bit of waiting before you're able to cash out and get your prize, but at least I know the Amazon gc's are sent fast.

It does have to be approved, so probably just not approved yet. Although when I've uploaded videos they were approved within 24 hours, so it's weird it's been so long. Wonder if it's like Bzz where sometimes it takes long and sometimes not depending on who is doing the approving?

im not sure how to but there has to be a way to shorten your video!!! when i was doing the printer video i had to redo it 5 times till i finally got it at the 100 mb point, but in your case i would search online how to cut off some of your video. good luck

You need to recompress the video at a lower quality setting/bitrate. Someone in the Tech forum should be able to tell you how.

Boo. Not like I can remake it as we used up all the ingredients.

I had the same problem when I did the Kraft Sandwich making video. Mine was almost 5 minutes longs and way too many mb. They suggested that I open it my Windows Movie Maker instead of the camera software and then compress it. I was able to figure out how to do that and it worked great.


How do I keep my videos under 100MB in size? What should I do if my file doesn't upload?
Check your file size to make sure it's not over 100MB. You may also need to try using software other than the software that came with your camera. We encourage you to edit and compress your videos with programs such as Windows Movie Maker (included with every Windows installation), or Apple iMovie (included on new Macs), that allow you to compress your videos for web streaming. Also, by opening your video file with one of these programs and then saving it as a .avi, .mpg, .mp4, .wmv, or .mov file, you should be able to upload your video

Well crapola... We filmed the kraft thing tonight but I forgot my vado was on highest quality setting so it's 300mb.:/ Is there any way to crunch this thing or do I just submit a email to expo letting them know I did it but messed up or something? Boo. Not like I can remake it as we used up all the ingredients.

If you have a flip when the software opens there will be options down at the bottom after you select your video.. click on "online" then click "other websites" then do "other" again (this is as the new pages are opening). Then click next or ok or whatever it says. It saves it on your desktop in a smaller size. I've had 15 min videos that have compressed enough doing it that way.

good luck!

Yeah no I have a Creative Vado HD. Thank you for trying to help though!

What is Windows Movie Maker in Windows 7? I'm trying to find it and it's not showing up anywhere.

Yup, that's how it works! I did a Pantene tryology before, but that was earlier in the year and I've not been accepted for any more since.

I wonder if I can screen my husband instead of me in the video. He wants to make a cake for the kids' party and I don't think that he can do a better videotaker job if I make the cake and he films it.

Whoever has the EXPO account and was selected for the program must be in the video...you can have other people in the video as long as you are on camera as well! I have done quite a few vids for them, so I know this from experience lol :)

YVW :) What I did on my last one was I sat in front of the webcam and did a short intro, then went in the kitchen and did the video of me and my daughter making the food..at that point it was her face and my hands on cam lol..then went and did a final wrap up in front of the webcam. Then I just edited all the clips together (since part was done on webcam and part on my cell cam)I guess that was good enough because they approved it!

Question - what kind of software you use to edit the videos? I don't have a webcam or a digital camcorder. I usually use my digital camera which has a video-taking function and my cellphone. Just wonder if I take the process of making the dessert and then I need to stop to wait until it is done to capture the end product. It would be 2 videos. How can I merge the 2 together? Sound stupid, right but I guess that I may get some help here. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Yes, I recall seeing something like that but have never touch it before. Computer is somewhat my DH's and DB's pride. They always think that women are dumb on that although I don't think so. I'm more advance with cellphone and many other gadgets. Well, sometimes I just pretend not to know to let the men feel better. ;)

I believe it takes a week for the points to actually post to your account. Until then, you will see them in your account in a pending status. As for the store, you just look through the different categories and choose what you want to 'purchase' with your points and then you check out. It's easy...I think it's harder for me to try to explain...:lol:

In the meantime, I just reviewed a Cascade product for them and uploaded the video. I was happy that my Kraft video was accepted and hope this one gets approved also.

I'm really enjoying these video reviews.

Update: I got word this morning my Cascade video was accepted also. I filmed this one myself and managed to use my tripod attached to my Vado camera to make sure I was in the video while I was washing dishes. Talk about multi-tasking. LOL!
