Just wanted to quickly tell you about two of my favorite online "money makers" Well actually only one of them makes you $$ but the other earns "bucks" which you can exchange for all kinds of prizes!!
The first one is SWAGBUCKS. It's basically just a search engine (like google or yahoo) except that everytime you use you have the chance to earn swagbucks which you can save up and get all kinds of stuff with. I've been using Swagbucks for a few months and I already have over 90 swagbucks! I'm saving up for the $20 Target gift card which costs 220 bucks.
Here are a few tips about swagbucks:
#1 You can make it your regular search engine and have a bar at the top of your screen just like your address bar. I made the swagbucks bar bigger than my regular address bar (where you would type in web addresses) and I search EVERYTHING I'm doing online! When I want to check my email instead of just typing in www.gmail.com or clicking a bookmark I "search" gmail, I "search" facebook, I "search" twitter, etc. This gives me more chances at getting swagbuck.
#2 You don't get a swagbuck everytime you search so you have to be persistent, sometimes you'll get none, sometimes one, sometimes more. The highest I've gotten so far is three!
#3 You can also earn swagbucks by recycling old cell phones and other electronics. I haven't tried this yet BUT August is go green month and you can get double the swagbucks for turning in old cell phones.
#4 The other way to earn swagbucks is by finding swagcodes, these are usually posted on the swagbuck facebook page, blog or twitter.
The second favorite "money maker" of mine is EBATES. There are probably several websites like this but I chose ebates and have had luck with it. Basically if you shop online this will be good for you. If you know what store you want to buy something at go to ebates first then click through their store link, this way when you order you'll get a percentage of your order total back. For instance Walmart is 1%. Right now a lot of stores Cash back % is up for back to school sales!! Old Navy is 8% cash back right now!!
Here are a few ebates tips:
#1 Some stores going through ebates only give coupons or discounts but most give a % back.
#2 When you sign up you'll automatically get $5 cash back free!
#3 I don't use ebates a lot during the year but it's great for Christmas shopping! Since a lot of stores offer free shipping during the holidays it's actually cheaper to shop online because you're not wasting gas :) plus if you go through ebates you'll actually be MAKING $$!!
And one more quick tip: If you're interested in credit card rewards programs I would suggest Discover. There are ads in every Sunday paper offering 0% interest rates for a few months plus up to 5% cash back on purchases! I've earned $40 FREE cash just for using my card!
That's all for now! I'll try to post some coupons tomorrow!
Night friends :)
