I would love to be in more campaigns. I love trying new things, giving my opinion and being an expert when chatting with my friends about products. :)

It's 10:15 here in the Netherlandns, hopefully I'll remember/ be lucky and make at the beginning of the conversation right before bed?..

Hopefully I'll be able to make it. :)

Hi everone.

We will get underway in just a few minutes--I'm sure you have a bunch of questions and I'll do my best to get to as many as possible. Looking forward to this!

Jono

And for any experienced Agents feel free to contribute to answers as well!

Sorry missed joining the chat, following you all now.  Not ez for the West Coasters to catch up with your Eastern time during the week.  Maybe if it fits Jon O's schedule we can do the next on a weekend for an hour or two. 

Hello everyone ;)

Hi  i'm here.

Hello to all

Hello Diane!

Hello

Hi Diane :), all

Hi there

Hi everyone~

My question is when you recive a golden key how do you go about using it for a campaign?

Hi everyone! OK. You can begin asking questions!

Hi Jon,

Thank you for taking the time to take our questions.  I just wanted to ask if it is me or now do more of the nicest items/products require a golden key to get? 

Hi, I'm here just in time:)  Can't wait to talk to fellow Bzz Agents!

Joyce, if you're still here, Bzz is a site called www.bzz.com, where you review websites, called Frogs (3 per month) participate in campaigns, in which you are selected to try out products. You also review them and share them w/others, report what others and yourself thinks of them. Does that help?

(don't ask me about bzzscapes, it hates me!)

I just used mine on the cover girl campaign

This  is my  question I am  a  member  and i have never gotten asked to   test any thing and i was wondering  why?

Hello there Jon O, how great to be able to chat.

Hello, all.

I was just wondering what comes after the sweet bee status! LOL

A golden key -- you can use it for a campaign, I believe that you wouldn't ordinarily be invited to, as I did w/mine.

Hi everyone~! hope everyone has had a good day :>}

Bzzagent lets you know when a golden key can be used for a campaign, just check your home page often.

Me too, t.w! Guess we're both  Sweet Bees ;)

Hi Jono, thanks for doing this.

Can anyone explain the bookmarklet and bzzscapes?

Do you ever have campaigns geared to 50+ only?  Sometimes I feel that some of the campaigns are not really relevant for me?

I would also like to know if there is a status above sweet bee:) 

I'd really like to know this too. 

Great question.  I would like to know the answer to that one too.

Hi Thanks for hosting a bzzchat.

I was so excited to earn a gold key only to find I almost lost mine because I didn't get many gold key offers.  I log onto bzzagent and check several times a day.  The few offers that I did get were offers for items I'd already completed campaigns for.   Is there something else I should be doing?  I really hate to let my hard earned keys expire.

Perfect question JK. 

I am concerned about this too.  So far I have only had one opportunity to use a golden key and it was for something I hated (Mt Dew).  I hope I have a chance to use it before it expires! 

don't  know  what  a frog is nor  a golden key as no body want  to tell me where i am suppost to be.

Also check your homepage to see if there are any surveys to fill out, as they can qualify you for other campaigns, which is nice too.

Yes, but how do i get to a campaign to choose from?

Hi Lona! I'm sure this is a question a bunch of Agents have. Long story short every Campaign we launch has very specific parameters based upon a bunch of things like demographics and how you answer polls. So for example I could get offered a Campaign, but you who may live across the street may not. This biggest advice I can give you to increase your chances is to take polls as much as possible since they help us match you to the right campaign!

You can also check out this training piece we put together that discusses this subject - http://www.bzzagent.com/member/Training.do?page=What_Affects_Eligibility

I noticed that a lot of campaigns have ended and not many are going on right now.  Can you tell us about any exciting upcoming campaigns?  I know the Aveeno one is delayed for some reason, but I can't wait for that one to start. 

I would also like to know what's coming up.

I am here! I want to learn.

Yep, I am a sweet bee too marilyn. LOL

Hi everyone!

I am a carpenter bee, is there anything I can be doing while waiting for my next campaign.

Mystery Bee Sweet Bee Social Bee Honey Bee Busy Bee Carpenter Bee Solitary Bee

Higher Status = Increasingly earlier Early Invites to campaigns & more Golden Keys to join bonus campaigns

• Answer any Post-Campaign Survey
• Have at least 2 BzzReports approved in a BzzCampaign
• Complete at least 3 Frog opinions & polls per month
• Add at least 10 items to BzzScapes per month (can be across multiple BzzScapes)

For personalized instructions on how to earn honeycombs right now, visit My Status

Mystery Bee?  Real or wishful thinking?

Lona,

Other websites that one reviews on www.bzzagent.com are called Frogs, and you do three per month. A golden key is what you earn for that and other things that you complete as a BzzAgent. Does that help?

I'm a sweet bee also,

Hey Christina! I can't give away exactly (sorry!) what's coming up, but there are some good ones for all types of products. And looking way out into the future, like the fall, we have some really cool stuff coming up!

Jono

I guess I will just have to be surprised then:)  I'm glad to know there is more cool stuff coming up though. 

There is another Aveeno campaign? I did that and really enjoyed it.

Desiree, my best advice is to do frogs and bzzscapes while you wait for a campaign. Those homeycombs really do add up!

The Root Awakening campaign was one of my faves of all!

Desiree, just make sure you check your home page often for polls and do your frog pond polls every month and you will keep moving up.

Michele,

They've had three (that I know of), campaigns for probably that age group, as they're for anti-aging products, Aveeno, Olay/Cover Girl and another one. So, yes there are.

What other  web sites should i be looking  at?

Lots of sweet bees here.

Thanks Marilyn

I am a Sweet  bee too.  lol

Yes we just love to talk about products and frogs

Can anyone explain the bookmarklet thing? I cannot for the life of me to get it to download.

I'd like a better way than just logging in to find out if you can use a golden key.  I have two...one of them will expire this year and I don't want to loose it.  But with working now I don't always have time to continually log on to see if there is a campaign.

I love being a Bzz agent!

I'm still kinda scared of the Bzzscapes after all I've heard so far.  It looked complicated to me, but I'm still planning to try it out when I get enough free time to mess around with it. 

Im so excited for new campaigns!

Hi Desiree. Well you can participate in the FrogPond http://www.bzzagent.com/frog/FrogPond.do?action=browse

Complete at least 3 Frogpond surveys per calendar month

and BzzScapes http://www.bzzagent.com/bzzscapes/

Add at least 10 objects to BzzScapes per calendar month (can be across multiple BzzScapes)

Thanks Jon! I really appreciate it. I have tried to do the Frogpond and visit the website first. Then I would come back and it still would not let me comment. I'll just have to try again.

I've seen that too.  Sometimes there is just no place to comment for some reason.  :(

I'm so excited to see what comes after Sweet Bee!!

*Peeks in* Hello all, I made it apparently.

Ive done a few Bzzscapes its kinda overwhelming at first but just take your time in doing them.

Hi!  Been a BZZAgent for several years now.  My last campaign of L'Oreal  Revitalift Anti wrinkle repair was great.  I got a great response from alot of people on this one.  Thank you!

Me too, Diane, and I also have another golden key that I haven't seen anything to use it on.. .

Christina,

I've tried it, done a couple but I have a feeling I'm not doing them right.

Did my question get lost in the mix?

Hi ~♥~ Kim ~♥~. I don't disagree. I think we can probably do a better job of letting Agents know when they can (and should) use their Golden Keys. Please know that I'm going to continue to push for some sort of mechanism to alert Agents. In the meantime though my advice is to login as frequently as possible!

Jono

Thank you!!!!! :)

Does Bzz Agent send all of our reports to the manufacturers of the products we are testing? 

Hi ♥¤ J K¤ ♥. Look at my last response to Kim's question. Does that help to answer?

Kind of.  Thanks.  I was also curious why we would be offered a gold key invite for a product we've already participated in a regular campaign for.  This has happened to me more than once.  Maybe I misunderstood the gold key concept.  I thought it was a reward/incentive for those who bzz and participate often.  (sorry not trying to be negative.  Believe me I love Bzzagent- just really disappointed with the gold key feature or at least my understanding of it).
