WHAT ON EARTH IS A BZZAGENT? You may ask.

WHAT IS BZZAGENT? We're an international network of consumers who voluntarily participate in word-of-mouth (WOM) programmes for a variety of products and services. Basically, we're a community of communicators. WHAT'S "BZZ"? It's what we call word of mouth. It's what we all do every day. It's the sharing of honest opinions about a product or service between two or more people both online and offline. WHAT DO BZZAGENTS DO EXACTLY? The short answer: try products and services, then share your honest opinions about them with people you know. The “won’t fit in a tweet” answer: we find the products and brands that you’ll love and give you a way to experience them, then you share your thoughts about them by starting natural, genuine conversations with real-life friends and online buds via sites including Facebook, Twitter and blogs. You get to try awesome products, your friends get to learn about awesome products and awesome products get even awesomer by listening to your valued feedback. Oh, and did we mention the better you participate, the more awesome products you’ll get to try? Awesome! IS THERE A COST TO JOIN? Nope, there's no cost to join BzzAgent. HOW MUCH TIME WILL I HAVE TO DEVOTE TO BEING A BZZAGENT? Being a BzzAgent won't take up a lot of your valuable time. But the more effort you put into participating (for instance, starting real conversations both online and off and writing helpful and honest reviews), the better your experience will be — the best BzzAgents get to experience the best products and services, and more of them. You give more, you get more! It's the circle of life, or Bzz, or whatever. SHOULD I SHARE MY OPINION AND START CONVERSATIONS ON FACEBOOK, TWITTER, BLOGS AND OTHER SOCIAL NETWORKS? Absolutely! Your friends, followers and readers online value your opinion just as much as the people you see every day — and brands value theirs. So if you're already using those channels, well then, keep up the great work! And remember, the best BzzAgents get the best campaigns. So however you spread the word, the more authentic and honest conversations you create, the better your chances of getting invited to try even more amazing products and services. DO YOU OFFER BZZAGENTS MORE CAMPAIGNS FOR SPREADING POSITIVE WORD OF MOUTH? No, we reward BzzAgents for their hard work and for sharing their honest opinions, good or bad. For any word of mouth to be credible and powerful, it needs to be voluntary and not due to compensation of any kind. So whether you love a product you try through BzzAgent or think it could use a little work, as long as you're sharing your honest opinion and starting authentic conversations, everybody's happy. IF I SIGN UP FOR BZZAGENT, AM I OBLIGATED TO JOIN A BZZCAMPAIGN? Not at all. If you know you won’t participate in a campaign we invite you to join, don’t hesitate to pass on it — we would never pressure you to try a product or service that doesn’t interest you. The only thing we ask is that, once you’ve joined a campaign, you share your honest opinion with others, online and off, and let us know about it. Of course, follow the BzzAgent Code of Conduct when you do so (no sneaky behavior allowed!). HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET INVITED TO A CAMPAIGN? Whoever said, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder” obviously wasn’t a BzzAgent. It’s our priority to get great products into the hands of as many BzzAgents as possible, but often there will be time between the campaigns you’re offered (or between joining and your first invite) — sometimes as much as a few months. Please be patient as we find the products that best match your lifestyle and interests. Once we do, we’ll send you an invite. In the meantime, check in weekly to complete surveys, which let us know which campaigns you’d be perfect for, and increase your chances of receiving more products. Above all, don’t forget: no matter how long we’re away, we will never forget about you! WILL BZZAGENT SCRIPT THINGS FOR ME TO SAY? Nope, we leave the dialogue to Shakespeare. So be yourself — share the positive and the negative. While we won't provide you with a script, we will provide you with info on the product and some suggestions and tips. What you say is totally up to you, though you should make sure the people you talk with understand that you're a BzzAgent and that we provided you with a means to try the product or service. IF I SIGN UP FOR BZZAGENT, WILL YOU SPAM ME? No way, we're absolutely against spam. We never let anyone contact our members without their advance consent. The only e-mails you'll receive from us will be about BzzCampaigns or other BzzAgent-related information. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE INFORMATION I PROVIDE TO YOU? All personal data are kept strictly confidential, and are only used as a way to help us: match you with the right programmes create better experiences for you and other BzzAgents improve our current or future programmes For more details, please refer to our Privacy Policy. WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN I JOIN? After you've selected a BzzAgent username and password, you'll be prompted to set up your BzzAgent profile. What's next?
