Instant Buzz – TIPS
If you aren’t an Instant Buzz member yet, you are missing out on a lot of extra advertising for your web site!
First I’m going to tell you why you are missing out. However make sure you READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE and I’ll give you another tip that I completely missed out on that increased my friend’s response rate by 300%!
I signed up early in 2005.
I had installed Instant Buzz on one of my computers. This computer was stolen when my home was burglarized. I just never got around to reinstalling it, until yesterday when I was launching a new internet marketing campaign. Even though I didn’t even have it installed Instant Buzz kept showing my ads.

You see occasionally Instant Buzz has some extra advertising space available. They have ads that aren’t used by their members or extra ads left over that the paid advertisers haven’t bought. Most ad networks keep this space for themselves and promote one of their own products. Instead Instant Buzz gives this extra traffic to their members. That is an awesome tip that Instant Buzz uses.
At the top I told you to read the entire message. You deserve an extra special tip because you actually listened and read the entire thing!
My friend Paulie actually introduced me to instant buzz months ago. When I installed the software yesterday I was reading through some of their testimonials. You have to check out what Paulie says.
He has one of the testimonials on the pro membership area. Pro members get to use HTML ads, plus they get to run 10 different ad campaigns instead of 2. This lets you try out a bunch of ads to see which is the most effective.
Now Paulie’s partner Donna ran the exact same ad as Paulie. Her ad got a 2.5% click through. Paulie’s ad was the exact same except he had purchased the Elite Membership option which allows him to display HTML based ads. Paulie’s ad got a 6.9% click through, because he used the HTML based ads!
When you signup for Instant Buzz they will you offer you the elite option ONCE. You have to buy that option when you join Instant Buzz. This option is going to cost you about $197 (i’m not sure of the exact price, since I’m already signed up I cannot go back and buy the elite option.)
Remember ELITE status is only offered when you signup. If you ever think you might want to upgrade to Pro membership you should invest in Elite membership when you signup.
The elite option gets HTML ads like the one Paulie used to get his 6.9% click through rate. They also get 25 ad campaigns instead of 10. And they get a bonus package of advertising credits, ebooks, and internet marketing tools to help them build their business.
I screwed up. I didn’t buy the Elite package. So now I have to buy the Pro membership which is going to cost me $149 and is soon going to go up to $179. I wish I had realized how powerful the Elite option was when I joined Instant Buzz. I would have paid the little bit extra for all the extra features!
Even if you don’t have the cash, you can still download Instant Buzz and join their traffic exchange for free.
As you can see from my results, and from Paulie’s that it is well worth it!
