BzzAgent

[msnln]

I have been member of BzzAgent for past couple of years. It's a PR firm that uses word of mouth to get a new product known to public. As a member, you can sign up for various BzzCampaigns. Cool thing about this is that they send you product samples, along with coupons in many cases. You try out the product and let your friends or associates know about it. Then, you report your activities back to the website and they give you points, which you can trade in for various products or gift certificates. they also give points for little surveys they have from time to time.

I have been lazy about reporting back so I do not have a whole lot of points but I have gotten glassware, books, food and just today got a can of Folgers Simply Smooth coffee with 6-50 cent off coupons.

I log in every couple of months and see what campaigns are available to sign up. I just signed up for Hersheys Take 5 campaign so I should be getting some free chocolates to try out.

If anybody is interested, their website is www.bzzagent.com

Sounds like fun.

Just a friendly reminder that recommending Bzzagent items on this site is not allowed since you are being paid to recommend - it goes against our <a href="http://www.savingadvice.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1874">posting rules</a>

Jeffrey, I am not being paid for this and I am in no way affiliated with the site. I reviewed the rules and I did not violate any of affiliate link, signatures or link to my website as stated. I was careful not to give out any referral link for me to get any benefit and cost to join and stay as member is zero for BzzAgent.
I just wanted to let members know about this site as I have gotten free stuff from them for trying out new products. I am sorry if I am doing anything to violate the SA rules but I saw other members discuss paid survey sites and this might fall somewhere in that arena. That said, please delete this discussion if you are not comfortable with the subject.

I think what Jeffrey might also be referring to is using the forums for Bzz Agent work...you can't buzz on products here to get paid for them there. And that is how Bzz works, or it has previously.

Oh OK. It was my misunderstanding then. I reread Jeffrey's comments and I think you are right Flash. Sorry Jeffrey.

[jeffrey]

Yes, it was a reminder on the products. If the post had been unacceptable, I would have deleted it - it's just that certain topics like this get new people posting inappropriate links, so I sometimes put reminders in.

[TBH]

I joined BzzAgent several months ago but campaigns usually fill up before I get a chance to sign up. I've done a few so-called BzzBlasts and have now finally gotten on my first campaign.

Anybody else here a BzzAgent? Any tips for getting onto campaigns without having to check the site daily or something?

I'm also a BzzAgent and I've had the same experience--campaigns are usually filled by the time I sign on to look at them. I finally successfully signed on to my first one yesterday. Part of the problem for me, I think, is that I am a less desirable demographic--middle-aged woman--I sense that they're more youth oriented and there are probably more opportunities available if you're younger.

I LOVE BzzAgent! I love doing Demos (what I call them) and ate some and passed them out to friends....it was fun and they were all anxious to tell me how it tasted....I haven't had any new Campaigns lately
