Grade IM Buzz Software ...

IM Buzz Software is a membership site created Calvin Woon and Jonathan Teng. The membership offers various software programs you can use and rebrand. You can sell these programs and keep 100% of the profits. There are other benefits of being a member such as video training and Internet marketing tutorials.
IM Buzz Software is built on a concept called S-Buzz which Calvin and Jonathan came up with. S-Buzz is the combination of software and viral marketing. The membership’s goal is to help you use this concept to bring in affiliate sales with the software they provide you with.
Every month, you are given one rebrandable software program. These are all programs geared for Internet marketers and you can sell for 100% of the profits. The silver membership is free and gives you resell/rebrand rights to the program every month. You can also download the software programs for your own personal use.
You can upgrade as a gold member for $27 a month. This gives you the right to rebrand the software links and banners (which are in the software) with your links. You can use these links to get visitors back to your main site or promote an affiliate offer. The gold membership also comes with one minisite template (with graphics), a researched keyword list for the product, 20 PLR articles, one resellable Internet marketing eBook every month, and lifetime free upgrades.
As a platinum member, you get everything a gold member gets plus extra marketing tools for the software such as two recorded informercials, an extra minisite template, and advanced video training for the software programs. The real benefit from upgrading to platinum is that you get master resell rights to the programs and you can even have your affiliates rebrand the links and banners with your affiliate program. The only drawback is that it is costly at $77 a month.
The rebrand and resell rights allow you to really take advantage of viral marketing. You can give away these programs for free in order to get people to sign up to your email list, you can mass a campaign to spread these programs with your affiliate link embedded in them, and you can also draw affiliates by having them rebrand these with their affiliate link for your own affiliate program (further increasing your viral marketing campaign).
The real benefit is that you’re not spending a small fortune hiring programmers to come up with these programs. The software programs are also modeled after existing ones in the market so the demand is already there. What you are buying is a turnkey business when you join the membership.
As great these benefits are, it wouldn’t mean much if the software programs were of poor quality. So I decided to check out a handful of these programs and take a test run myself. A big plus for me was the fact that you get access to all the programs that were released months before.
The first program I tried was Keyword Buzz. Compared to other keyword research tools in the market, I found it of poor quality. It simply grabbed the results from the free Wordtracker tool and displayed competitive results across the 3 big search engines.
Next up was Equi Buzz. It’s a simple duplicate content checker that does what it’s supposed to do. I see duplicate content checkers go for $27-$47 on the market right now so this was a pleasant surprise. This is really handy if you’re rewriting articles and want to make them as unique as possible.
I moved on to Directory Buzz. I was impressed to say the least. This software compared to the other directory submitters on the market that sold for $60-$90. It had all the features I needed in a submission tool and is definitely something I would’ve used regularly if I hadn’t already paid for a submission tool previously.
Blog Buzz is another great tool that helps you locate blogs related to your site. You can search out the blogs that do not use the “no follow” tag and post on them in order to get backlinks back to your site. This is a great way to increase your search engine rankings and the program works without a hitch.
There are other programs such as a search engine research tool, link popularity tool, forum posting tool, project management tool, poll creation tool, link cloaking tool, and more. I did find some tools kind of worthless like OptinBuzz (creates optin boxes) and Email Buzz (formats your email) but it seems that most of the programs are pretty solid. I didn’t like the fact that all the programs had a poorly designed interface. It’d be great if they were revamped to look more professional.
Finally, the membership site also offers you new s-buzz marketing training videos to help you promote the software programs you get. There are also video tutorials for basic tasks like setting up an FTP, putting up a Wordpress blog, using HTML, and more.
Overall, the IM Buzz Software membership is a great value if you want to get in the software business. Most of the programs were pretty solid with the minority of them having little use. The sales pages and images they give you are also top notch and help present the products properly. The support is pretty solid as well. I had no problems getting prompt replies on my questions.
You can get a discount on the memberships by purchasing a one year plan and also get the platinum rebrand rights to all the previous programs for a one-time fee. My only complaint is that some of these programs will need updates. Although Calvin and Jonathan state that there are lifetime updates but there haven’t been any new versions released for any software yet.
The IM Buzz membership has been met with great feedback from customers as well as well known Internet marketers. I agree with the positive reviews and I think the membership is of incredible value to those selling in the Internet marketing niche.

The offers seem pretty good I have been a member of this site for about 5 months now. The membership is free so it was hard to resist. They offer a lot of free products, some of them are free to re brand and for some you will have to pay. I bought a few and I have had really good experiences with them. I recommend everyone who is into internet marketing to check this site out.

Awesome software delivered every month  When I see this IMBuzz Software listed here to review, I'm very happy for it, because this is very great free membership site to subscribe for. Now, there's up to 28 free incredible software which can make your job more easier. Whatever you need, you can find the tool that can help you at IMBuzz Software. Sometime they run contests for members which you can make easy money from them. And very important thing is, the admin is very honest and responsibe, people that you can trust. |

Amazing Program! A Must Have! When I originally signed up for the IM Buzz software, I was a bit skeptical as to what would really be offered to the free members. But to my surprise, the offer was even Better than advertised!In addition to their software rebranding offer, there were an incredible amount of additional freebies with this offer that just seemed to keep coming. By the time I was done signing up with the programs that I could use, I had hundreds of dollars worth of software and ebooks at NO cost! And on top of the great value of the brandable software and of all of the freebies, they offer a great affiliate program that is so easy to promote and is an excellent way to make some extra money! A+ - A MUST for any Internet Marketer! |

IM Buzz Software is an innovative concept I joined IM Buzz Software a couple of months ago without really thinking of it much. All I needed was a Forum Buzz poster which was being given away for free. I knew that software being given away cannot be all that top-notched. But I wanted to see how it worked and true to my expectation, it was the same as the other ones that I also got for free. For someone who is a complete newbie, it would be very helpful. I downloaded the free tools that were available and tried all of them. I found them to perform quite decently. One of the tools is the Carnival Buzz software which totally blew me away. For any keyword you set, it brings back the top sites with or without do-follow tags where you can place your comments. Recently, I checked out their monthly offers and once again, I was surprised to find a software that I had wanted, being offered for a price that is way lower than the regular price. I think I will check this site more often and see if I can pick up some cool bargains.
