What kind of website traffic will you miss out on if you wait until February 15th to promote this?

Well, InstantBuzz is, as you might know already, open for non-invitation access from February 11th until February 15th.

The team just finished and released version 2.0 of the InstantBuzz toolbar, which I’ve found to be just as unintrusive and stabile as the original toolbar.

Getting started with your promotion of InstantBuzz right from the beginning is really important because you’ll be able to sign up more people during the 4 Day Rush than after (and you wont be spending your valuable invitations on it as well)

But the InstantBuzz team just added another incentive for getting started right away.

And it’s actually not an incentive it’s incentives.

1. Top 3 Promoters Get 150,000 free advertising credits
2. Everyone Who Brings in 25 Sign Ups Gets 30,000 free advertising credits
3. Everyone Who Brings in 10 Sign Ups Gets 15,000 free advertising credits
4. Refer a "Big-Hitter" and You'll Get 5,000 free traffic credits
5. Everyone Who Brings in 5 Sign Ups Gets 10,000 traffic credits on the spot!

Getting bonus 1) isn’t likely for us mere mortals – this is for people with gigantic lists.

But 5), 3) and 2) is definitely doable for lots of people – and especially the 5 signup and the 10,000 free advertising credits should be within reach of plenty of people.

4) is a bit harder to predict anything about. A Big-Hitter is someone who qualifies for bonus 1), 2) or 3) within the 4 Day Rush.

With a bit of luck you could actually secure yourself 10,000 credits for referring just 5 people and add an additional 5,000 if one of people you referred brings in just 10 people.

But you know, the cool things is, that you’ll be getting traffic from the just using the toolbar, even if you don’t sign up enough people to actually qualify for any of the bonuses.
