How to earn Swag Bucks

Do you use Swagbucks?

When I first heard about Swagbucks, I thought it was a scam of some sort. I was extremely skeptical. I had friends tell me they were making around $50 per month and not doing anything different, all they did was switch search engines. I didn’t believe them. It sounded way too good to be true so I didn’t bother with it. But I signed up anyway.

And guess what – it worked.

In my first year using Swagbucks, I earned $120 worth of Amazon.ca gift certificates. That’s around $10 per month (some months are better than others). This is for doing something that I was already doing, except now I am getting paid for it.

So, how do you get lots of Swag “bucks”?

Referrals

This is the best way for you to rack up bucks. It seems hard to convince people to sign up for this program and actually use it, but it’s worth it. Give them proof of your prizes. For every buck that they win, you’ll win as well. You can win up to 1,000 bucks per referral!

Toolbar

You can type all of your searches right in the toolbar whenever you want instead of always having to click on the homepage to do it. Also, you earn at least 1 buck every single day just by opening your browser with the toolbar.

Make a search your homepage

Most people say to make swagbucks.com your homepage, but I have a much better tip for you. Here’s what you do:

– Go to swagbucks.com.
– Search for something you search for a lot.
– When the search results come up, you want to make the search results page your homepage.
– Then, every time you click the HOMEPAGE button in your browser (the little house), you will end up at that search page. This means that every time you go to your homepage you will have a chance to win bucks – and you didn’t even have to search for anything!

This is my best tip, and after referrals, is how I get the bulk of my Swag bucks.

    Hi there,

    With the $5 Amazon gift cards, can you use multiples on one item or can you only use one per order? Thanks!

  2. Marsha

    One more question 🙂 Can you apply the gift cards to the shipping cost or is that always separate? Thank you.

    you can use multiple $5 GCs per order and yes you can apply them to tax/shipping. 🙂

    you also get 1 SB per day each – for doing a daily poll (takes 10 seconds!) and just for visiting the surveys page and the NOSO page daily 🙂
