KEY FEATURES:

BzzAgent is a media network, operating since 2002, that recruits "BzzAgents" to evaluate products and services and then share their opinions on them with people they know. BzzAgent has over one million member agents around the world, and uses the idea of word of mouth communication to generate measurable results for marketers.

Influence the Biggest Brands

BzzAgent has an impressive client list which includes: L’Oréal, Nestle, Proctor & Gamble and Purina. You may be invited to test products from international companies and have a major influence on the brand!

Test Merchandise

Members must receive an invitation to a campaign in order to participate. Assignments usually involve testing merchandise and coupons/rebate offers for free samples and then writing/sharing their thoughts on the brand online and on social media.

Being Assigned an “Activity”

If you are asked to test a product, in many cases you will be assigned any or all of the following activities:

• Posting to social media about the product (Facebook, Twitter or Instagram)
• Writing a review about the product you have been instructed to use
• Uploading photos and videos about a given product

Communication Directors (Comm Devs) then rate and respond to the activities you submit based on guidelines, and you are awarded points based on the quality of the “buzz”.

Online Surveys

In addition to testing products, BzzAgent invites its members to participate in quick online survey opportunities for extra points and rewards. These also help the organization it you with the right products that you’ll be excited to try.

Collect Points and Free Products

Receive MyPoints and sometimes free products in exchange for your BzzAgent participation. Feel good about sharing your opinion to the world and gaining something in return.

Build your BzzScore

Each member accumulates a BzzScore on a yearly basis. It ranges from zero to 10 and takes into account all of the activities you participate in. Depending your level of participation, your BzzScore may go up and down throughout the year. The following are ways to keep your BzzScore high:

• Putting detail and attention into your assigned activities
• Staying up to date on all the latest survey opportunities
• Being an influencer by involving your fellow friends in your BzzActivites
• Connecting your BzzAgent profile to your social media accounts

The better your BzzScore, the more invites you will receive for new campaigns. You can view your BzzScore at any time from your member home page.

Earn Rewards

BzzAgent offers rewards as you participate. Some are unlocked along the way and some contain little surprises to keep you interested and always wanting more. Rewards are rewarded after various milestones or achievements, such as: your 10th Tweet, an exceptional photo, your 25th review, etc.

Explore the BzzAgent website and catch up on the hottest trends in the “Latest Buzz” section. See what fellow users are saying about a variety of exciting products. Connect even further by following the BzzAgent Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages!

I do not get the high ratings.

It took like 3 months until I received the first "campaigns". The first 3 were clearly bs.

- a free trial to redbox instant that is free anyway
- coupons for claritin
- sign up to a free portal

My score is now 7.4 of 10.

The good thing is that you get points from mypoints.com for your reviews etc.

The bad is that you have to pretty much spam all of your friends and have to put in a lot of time for writing reviews, twitter posts, facebook posts etc.

Given that in other portals you also receive products to test (for the "price" of 1 follow up survey for which you get paid as well as the initial survey) that is not really great.

I will stick around for some more time and see if I get some decent campaigns.

For a box of cereals or a redbox trial the effort is to big.

If you are not into social media forget this portal as you will never get a good score that you need to receive campaigns.

Update: Downgraded to 1 star. It might deserve 2 but as there are so many unrealistic raving reviews I decided for one.
I stopped using the site.
The amount of work you have to put in does not stand in any relation to the outcome. You will have to spend hours writing reviews and reporting with whom you spoke about the stuff. You will also need to continuously spam all of your friends.
Last thing I received were coupons for some candles that did not even cover the purchase price.

I signed up, filled out all of the surveys they had for me, and waited. I came back and filled out more surveys, and waited. Then finally I was invited to a campaign. And right after that one, another. So don't give up. It seems it just takes a while for them to match you with a campaign. So far the two that I was invited too are nice. Hope for more in the future.

After lots of very time consuming intake questions about you, you're finally able to become a BzzAgent and receive free products to review. So far I've rec'd breakfast drinks, breakfast bars, Prilosec, and am waiting for my Dr, Schols gel inserts. Very good site with no real gimmicks.

geez! how many emails do these people send me!? 10 a day? too much!

I have been a bzzagent for a couple of years now and it is fun, fair and I really enjoy it. You take surveys to find out your likes, interested, etc and frequently receive invites to receive a bzzkit (products to try for free with a coupon or by mail). After you try it, you simply take surveys and answer questions online about it. It's fun and allows you to try new products.
