Swagbucks

One important thing for us is to break it down for all of you as to how we earn our money. Between the two of us, we are members of several different sites. Some are great, some are so-so, and some are more a pain than necessary, but they are all good for earning some extra money.


I have to say that my personal favorite has to be Swagbucks. (You will find links to all the sites mentioned below.) Swagbucks works as a search engine. You use their engine to search and the reward is random "bucks" earned throughout the day. Typically, you can expect to win three searches per day with the random fourth thrown in from time to time. Searches pay anything from 5 to the rare 50. I have yet to see that 50, but have won 47 a few times on one search. With the bucks you earn, you can trade them in for different prizes. For me, it is the Amazon Gift Card (also known as an AGC). 450 SB's =one 5 dollar gift card from Amazon. You are allowed 5 of the same denomination per month, so I always go for the 5/5 AGC's first.

Paypal is also a popular card. Unlike the AGC's which have the smaller denominations as the best value, Paypal cards are actually better priced for the larger denominations. For example, a 5 dollar Paypal card cost you 700 SB's. The 10 dollar card is only 1335, saving you 65 SB's. It is always a great idea to do the math so you can get the most bang for your buck.

I started at SB's in June of last year. I will admit, I work it hard and my earnings show that. Without really sitting down and doing the math, I can estimate with confidence my earnings to be about 500 dollars in AGC's over the past year. This includes working their offer walls for points as well.

Offer walls are found on all earning sites. They can be a great way to earn some points, but you always want to check around and see what offers are crediting for others. It can be such a pain to do an offer and then have to fight for the points. It is always a good idea to check the Facebook page for Swagbucks and read what is working for others. The people are great about sharing.

You can earn an easy 5 SB's each morning by doing a few simple tasks. First, download the toolbar. Chrome does not allow it, so you must be using IE or Firefox. Each day when you sign in, you get one buck for having the toolbar. Next you pop over and answer the daily poll. That will earn you another buck. Trusted surveys are your next stop for another buck. Your final two come with NOSO. No Obligation Special Offers. You click through the path (typically less than five ads) and type in the captcha to earn 2 bucks. All in all, it takes less than five minutes and you have earned yourself 5 bucks.

Trusted surveys are also a quick and relatively easy way to earn some bucks. As soon as you register with SB's head over and complete your profiles on the Trusted Survey area. This will help them to know what surveys you might qualify for. Surveys are totally hit and miss, but when you do qualify, you can rack up an easy 25 to 200 points in about fifteen or twenty minutes time. I suggest checking the surveys a few times a day because new ones can pop up at any time.

Swag codes are a fun bonus. They don't happen every day, but do happen often. Downloading the swidget is  a good way to know when there is a code out. Sometimes they are just found in the swidget and sometimes you have to search for them via clues given. It is always fun (and a bit frustrating), but bucks are bucks.

So, that was the first lesson in how we earn. I promise the others won't require quite so much information, but the goal is to help you earn and we want to make sure you have a full understanding.

If it sounds like something you want to try, just click here and begin the process. Feel free to ask us any questions that might pop up. We will do our best to answer you and help out in any way we can. Good luck and Happy Swaggin.
