SHHHH.....DON'T SHARE THIS SECRET!

In honor of the blog receiving its 3,000th view, I'm sharing a tip I was going to keep for myself!  Yes, I'm sneaky like that, but I really can't believe that anyone is taking the time to read this blog. And then you've shared it with your friends...unbelievable!  So, here's a real treat.

The most fun thing I do in the couponing world is called Bzz. Here's the link to get you started, then I'll explain.

www.bzzagent.com

When I was a kid, my Mom was part of a group called National Family Opinion. I remember her filling out surveys at the kitchen table, then receiving products in the mail to evaluate. Back then they came in plain black and white boxes so you didn't know what brands they were. Enter the age of the Internet and Bzz!  Go to the website and create an account. Bzz will want to know lots of information about your demographics and buying habits. Under the Surveys tab, you'll let them know all kids of things about products you use. You can answer all the surveys at once, over a period of time, or not at all!

The more surveys you answer, the better the chance you have at being chosen for a "campaign". A campaign  is sponsored by a particular product (I'm doing campaigns right now for Garnier, Glade and Cafe Express). You'll receive an invitation in your email box to join a campaign - make sure to respond right away as they fill up fast!  I received an invitation yesterday at 4:00pm for a Quaker Cookie campaign and by the time I responded a few hours later, it was full. :(

Now the fun begins!!  Your physical mailbox will be a treasure trove - you'll start to stalk the mailman!  OK...maybe not stalk. Bzz will either send you full sized products to use, or send coupons that you take to any store and redeem for free products. Also included will be lots of high value coupons to share with your friends (and I do share, ask Michele and Brenda). Even after sharing Glade coupons, I was still able to stockpile 5 brand new Glade systems for free.

So now what? Well you have to create a buzz!  The better buzzer you are, the more campaigns you'll get, the more free products you'll receive and the mailman will become your best friend!  The website makes it incredibly easy to buzz. They have it all set up, you just press a button. And BTW, they want your honest opinion.

You'll start to develop a Bzz Score - mine is 6.8!  It goes from 0-10. The higher your score, the more campaigns you'll be chosen to do. I had my first campaign within a week of signing up.

Give it a try - we can buzz together!
