I figured it was about time. What time? Time to start "Bzzing" about what I'm trying out on BzzAgent. If you aren't familiar with BzzAgent, click and read what they have to say about the program. I think today I'll give you a slight overview and share with you what I've participated in so far.
"How does BzzAgent work? Simple: we send products from top brands to everyday consumers, just like you. Then they talk about them. Sign up now to join the 800,000+ BzzAgents who already:
Try popular products and services, totally free.
Help friends discover cool new stuff by sharing opinions
Influence brands eager for feedback"
It's also important to know you are never obligated to join a campaign, you can decline anything you are not interested in or don't feel is a right fit for you. Remember, ALWAYS BE HONEST in your feedback! I've only been asked to pay a slight fee for 1 campaign (this does happen on occassion but very rarely). I happened to decline this one as it was for a car diagnostic system, I drive a 2011 so I didn't really see the need since I can take it to the dealership.
So without further ado, here is my list so far.

Sometimes there are campaigns that don't post here because they are drop shipped from the company itself. Such as my Kingston DataTraveler 8gb flashdrive, or the iPad that was drop shipped to my house courtesy of Itemize.
I do believe that it is important to note that a few of these such as The Car's Campaign and COVERGIRL 50th Anniversary were word of mouth type campaigns, didn't get product for these, but got insite to what was coming out etc. It's also import to know that BzzAgent is on Facebook (See them here)
For my friends: YES, this is the program that partnered up with Itemize and allowed me to earn a free iPad 2 (No Joke).
The Facebook page Not only let's you interact with other Bzzagents and Jono himself, but also will allow you to get a heads up when new campaigns are going to be released or what up and coming campaigns might be. Jono also on occassion will post a giveaway for either a campaign spot, or leftover bzzkits (Such as the Laser Pegs I received).
Emails...
Reading your Bzzagent Emails are IMPORTANT!!! I cannot stress that enough. If you aren't checking your page on a regular basis, your email is going to be your most important tool in telling you when you get a campagin invite. Some campaigns fill up quickly so you want to be on the ball.
I think it's also important to realize, some agents will get a campaign quickly, sometimes it takes awhile. BE PATIENT! I love BzzAgent and have found it to be very worthwhile for me. They are constantly rolling out new things and new ideas. So be open minded as well! Trust me they want to hear the good, bad, and ugly. It doesn't matter if you're posting to a blog, tweeting, or spreading Bzz on Facebook, just do it ! :)
I hope that this provides some encouragement to join, and I would urge you to read up on their site for more indepth info and starter information. Please feel free to comment below, and I promise I'll try and answer your questions to the best of my ability. I'm also hoping to do a post later with photos of product I have received. (I don't have pictures for every campaign as I started snapping them when friends started perking up!)
So here's the 1st post, and crossing my fingers that I can keep up with this! Thanks for your time!
