Earning More Swagbucks~ Part 2

Today we are going to continue sharing more ways to earn more Swagbucks. People have been asking me how I earn so many gift cards each month. Here are some of the tips I have learned:






Daily Polls~These are very simple way to rack up a buck each day. They ask a different question daily and each day you chose a response from the multiple choice answers and "vote."  You get 1 vote per day and a buck for each vote. This is also a great way to get input on how they run things at Swagbucks because they will often ask questions regarding events and promotions they are running.


NOSO~ No Obligation Special Offers. Each day you can click on NOSO and proceed through the offers. They are exactly as they say NO OBLIGATION. You can actually click "skip" at the bottom of each form. Once you get to the end of the road it will be rewarded 2 bucks. If you choose to accept and fill out any of the offers you may get a surprise of more:)


Special Offers~ I rack up at least 50% of my bucks here I would say. There are often offers that are easy for a little or a lot of bucks. I have done offers such as a FREE 30 day trial to Netflix. I signed up  for the 30 days for 1500 Swagbucks. I did need to set a reminder in my phone for 30 days so that if I decided  we didn't like it or it wasn't in our budget to cancel it. Also, they often have short videos that will pop up on your front screen as special offers. Watch them for the duration for another 2 bucks. These have tons of possibilities, but you need to make sure you read the fine print.


Tasks~ These have several possibilities to rack up buck,s, but do take a little work. You are able to complete tasks such as looking at a web page and answering questions about it to be awarded bucks.


Inbox~ Always be sure to check your inbox for more opportunities to earn. Sometimes they will send things special to your account such as a video to watch or special offer opportunity.In case you are like me and didn't recognize your inbox for far to long, your inbox is on the top right hand corner of your home screen.

Games and Trade-Ins are also possibilities. However, they are not things I have yet ventured into so I do not have much to share on them as of now.If you have tried them though I would love to hear some feedback in the comments below.

Swagbucks~ Earning More Part 1

So we all know that you can earn Swagbucks through searching. Let's be honest I probably earn 30-50 swagbucks a day from searches. While that is a great  amount of bucks I would not cash out often on that alone. I do however cash out several times a month and many people have asked me how I rack up my bucks. Well, today we're going to delve into some of the ways  to earn.

Referrals~ If you are logged into your account, click on Tools, then click Invite & Earn. There you will find a referral  link as well as the ability to invite your friends via email, twitter, and facebook. For each referral you get you will receive 1000 swagbucks. These bucks are earned as a match to what your referral earns from searching. So if they sign up and earn 0 you earn 0, 100 you earn 100, etc. The threshold is 1000 though. Once your re feral receives more than 1000 bucks for searching you will no longer receive matching bucks.

Coupons~ You are able to print coupons through Swagbucks and redeem them during your normal shopping. For each coupon you print and redeem you will receive 10 bucks. Remember you will not receive these right away. You must first redeem them and then they must  be processed by the store and manufacturer. This can take 8-12 weeks but think if you use 10 coupons at the store that's 100 bucks!

Swagbucks TV~ This is something you can run and just keep switching while you are working on your other Internet things. For example I have it running right now.You click a video(I keep my sound off) and let it run until the meter hits the next percentage. You often do not have to watch the entire video, just the first 45 secs or so. Each time you reach 100% you will receive 3 swagbucks. You can max out at 75 swagbucks a day. Note that this whole process is easier if you have downloaded and use the toolbar.

Toolbar~ Not only does it make SB TV simpler, but you will receive 1 SB everyday just for having it downloaded. That's 365 SB's I will receive this year on both mine and my husbands account just for having the tool bar and using the site daily.

Trusted Surveys~ I do alot of survey sites else where, but these can be great to up your total if you need enough to hit a gift card. Simply answer the ?s and be rewarded. Even if you don't qualify you will be rewarded a buck for each of the first 5 you are disqualified from. A simple way to add up some bucks

Daily Deals~Each day there are available deals that you can purchase and be awarded bucks. I rarely do these, but if it is something you are needing or wanting to purchase anyway you might as well rack up some bucks while doing it.

Stay tuned for more ways to earn!

Auntie Anne's BOGO



Right now you can head over to Auntie Anne's Facebook Page and "like" them. Then you will be able to print a coupon for a Buy 1 Get 1 signature pretzel. I love yummy coupons:) Head here for your coupon and don't forget to share this with your friends.

Hot Coupon Alert



Head over to coupons.com for a $.50/1  Hostess multi-pack breakfast item. (These CAN NOT be used on the individual packs of donettes etc.) However, if you like Hostess you will want to print this fast as they don't often put out coupons. If your store doubles this is even better!

Daily Challenge

To get my butt back in gear! HaHa, I have to apologize as my blog has been lacking some. For the past week I have been blessed with time to spend just with my girls and so that is what I have done. We have went to lunch and shopping(my oldest's favorite thing to do), we've played at the park, and we've done special things at home. It has been a blast, but I have taken the time to step away from the computer in order to spend this time with them. As of today we are back to the real world and so I will be back to visiting you all through blogging:) So have you been lacking in any area of your life?  Maybe Easter got you out of your regular eating habits, maybe you've  been lax about your normal cleaning schedule, whatever it is that you have been pushing to the wayside get back to it today.

Daily Challenge

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter  yesterday. While it was an awesome time visiting for us it was busy and chaotic as usual. My husband and I were talking about last night how he didn't even realize people really left their homes on holidays until he met me because his family is so small and they always stayed home. I on the other hand always went from place to place to place for holidays and we now do much of the same with our family. So today after all the running I am feeling a bit run ragged so my challenge has become to catch up on the things that are behind around the house. I usually prep my week on Sundays and getting home late last night I did not. Do something today that will help you catch up and stress less!
