Another great thing I have recently found is a website called Swagbucks. Now, before you go sign up, please stick with me and read this, or at least go to the bottom of this post and use the link provided (oh what the heck, here is the link right here: www.swagbucks.com/refer/tarahbelle2 ). Swagbucks offers several ways to get prizes and gift cards for free. Yes, free. And, no, it is not a scam. I cannot boast an imac computer as some people can, or a free ipad- I guess I am just not that good yet. But I have been able to get $75 in Amazon gift cards in 2 weeks of using swagbucks. It is pretty easy, only as time consuming as you want it to be and ABSOLUTELY FREE. Here is how to earn:
1. Use their search engine- This is easy. Instead of using google, just use the swagbucks search engine. You won't get swag bucks every time, but you will get random swag bucks wins and you can score from 7-50 swag bucks. On Fridays you have a bigger chance of scoring the big bucks. I win 3 times a day on average, sometimes 4. Hey, you are searching the internet anyway, so why not get prizes to do it. An Amazon gift card worth $5 at the time of this post (not that I have ever seen it change) is 450 swagbucks. 500 swagbucks if you want to put a rush on it and get it the next day. So just by searching alone you can get $10 a month in amazon gift cards.
2. Daily Polls- These are only good for 1 swag buck a day, but still, it takes you 5 seconds and it is worth 1 swagbuck.
3. NOSO- These are No Obligation Special Offers. You don't have to sign up for anything of them unless you want to. You just view about 3 or 4 special offers, click skip on all of them if you want, and voila! 2 more swag bucks for that day.
4. Surveys- There are two places to find surveys. One is in the Trusted Surveys section. These are usually the best where you will find the most surveys, the highest paying, and the most reliable to get paid on. You can fill out your profile on Trusted Surveys and make quite a few swag bucks just in that process alone. The other types of surveys are found in the special offers section, which we will get to in a second. These I find to be less reliable, but sometimes you can earn a good 50+ swag bucks from them.
5. Special Offers- Swagbucks has a special offers section where you can complete offers to earn swag bucks. There are quite a few free ones, especially when you are starting out. Most of the free ones involve signing up for a newsletter. If you do these, I recommend signing up for a second free e-mail account other than your primary and using this. I try to do this when I sign up for any newsletter because my primary email account gets junked up and I can't find important e-mails (like from professors and the like). There are also special offers that involve free trials that you can cancel without being charged (if you are comfortable with that), as well as credit card offers (which if you are in the market for a new credit card you can score a ton of swagbucks here), and offers that involve a purchase. Sometimes these offers are great. I have spent $2 before to get enough swag bucks to get a $5 gift card, and in the process I got something cool that I spent $2. Also, I was looking everywhere for wall decals for my son's room. Well, I got on swag bucks special offers one day and there was a wall decal company offer quite a few swagbucks for any purchase. Not only did I find EXACTLY what I was looking for, I found them for $13. You can't beat that considering my son's other wall decal cost $55 on etsy. There are also offers in this section from places like Gap and Old Navy requiring a minimum purchase and you get swagbucks for it. This brings me to another method of earning...
6. Shop and Earn. Swagbucks has a shop and earn page where you do just that. You shop and earn swag bucks for shopping. I don't recommend doing this just for the sake of getting swag bucks, but if you are going to shop online anyway, go to the page first, see if they are partners with swag bucks, and you will earn 2 swagbucks for every dollar that you were going to spend anyway. They are partnered with places such as Kohl's, Old Navy, and one of my personal favorites, gojane.com (awesome shoe deals here ladis).
7. The Swagbucks toolbar- Now, let me start by saying I normally don't download anything to my computer. I am just paranoid like that. But I made an exception for this toolbar and I am glad that I did. It installs on your web browser (I personally use Firefox) much like the Google toolbar. You can basically get anywhere on the swagbucks website using the toolbar and it has a convenient search box for you to use. Not only that, but you usually get at least 1swagbuck a day just for having it installed. And seeing it reminds you to use their search engine so you can win, you guessed it, more swagbucks.
8. Swagbucks tv- Do you like celebrity gossip? Fashion? Do it yourself home repair/upgrades? Animals? Chances are if you like it and you would watch a news or youtube video about it, you can watch a video about it on swagbucks. And guess what? You earn swagbucks for doing it. You get 3 swagbucks for every 10 videos you watch (although if you just wait for the ad before the video to play you can usually click on another video and still get credit for having watched that one). You can max out at 75 swagbucks for watching swagbucks tv a day (currently you can actually max out at 150). And most of the videos are quite enjoyable. Want an update on Ashton Kutcher's divorce or Justin Bieber's baby mama drama? Go to swagbucks and watch it.
9. Codes- Keep an eye on the swagbucks twitter, facebook, and blog pages for codes that they will release for free swagbucks.
10. Tasks- Tasks are my least favorite. Usually they are the most time consuming and pay the least. But they are a way to earn extra bucks.
11. Games- Chances are if you like a game, you can find it on swagbucks and win swagbucks for playing.
12. Referrals- Refer your friends and you can get matching swagbucks for every time your friend searches and wins. You won't get matching swagbucks for everything they do, and this does max out at 1000 swagbucks total. But you can get some, and your friend now gets to earn swagbucks too.
Well, hopefully that is enough to get you started on earning with swag bucks. You usually get 30 swagbucks for signing up to help you get started. Now if you would do me the favor of signing up under my referral link as a thank you for giving you all of this awesome information that I had to learn on my own:
