Swagbucks

For those of you who recently signed up and have asked me how Swagbucks works, here is a brief tutorial from my perspective. Don't take it as the be all end all because I'm just sharing how I personally use it but there are a lot of ways to get SB that I don't even delve into!

#1. SEARCH!! Search everything you do on the internet! By that I mean, when you are going to check your email don't go to the address bar and type in gmail.com (or whatever your email is), instead go to the Swagbucks search bar and type in gmail, THEN find the link and click. Some browsers all you to download the swagbucks search bar right to your window. Mine doesn't so I've just made Swagbucks my home page so anytime I open my browser (Safari) it automatically opens to Swagbucks. Then I have a bookmark for swagbucks at the top of my page so when I'm done checking my email and want to go to Facebook I click on the Swagbucks bookmark then search Facebook! Now this might seem complicated if you don't know what search bars, address bars, home pages and bookmarks are...find someone in your family who does and make them set it up for you :)

#2. COUPONS!! There is a website called coupons.com that you can download and print coupons from.  Well these came coupons are available on the Swagbucks website and you get 10 SB every time you use one! It takes awhile for them to show up but I PROMISE they do eventually!

#3. REFERRALS!! That's what you all are! Each time someone signs up under me I get a match of their first 1000 SB! And you can too!

#4. SWAG CODES!! I don't do these as often because they don't last very long. But if you like the Swagbucks FB page and sign up for their emails they will sometimes send out these codes that you enter on their main page for Swagbucks.

#5. SHOP & EARN!! If you do any kind of online shopping go through Swagbucks first. Then you earn Swagbucks for every dollar you spend.

Those are the main things I do. There are a lot of things you can use your Swagbucks to purchase but I stick mostly to Amazon, Walmart and Target Gift Cards. You can get a $5 Walmart or Target gift card for 500 SB. (Amazon $5 is only 450 SB)

A few things to note:
1. It takes a few weeks to get your gift card so I usually "order" it as soon as I get to 500 SB. You will get an email saying that it is ready in your account and you can either print it out or use it online or on your smart phone.

2. Don't get discouraged if you don't start earning SB right away! I've found that the longer I use it the more often I earn them. I've been using Swagbucks to search for over 3 years. When I first started it seemed like I maybe earned them twice a week and now I earn them 3 or 4 times a day. (although I do spend a lot of time online :p)

Let me know if you have any questions! I'll try to help if I can :)
