Swagbucks

With little involvement, search engines like Bing still reward you.  However, you are limited to the amount of credits you can earn in a day and, in turn, are limited to how quickly you can exchange those credits for gift cards.

Well, what if you’re like me and, with a little more involvement, seek to earn more at a quicker pace?  Say hello to Swagbucks!

Not only does Swagbucks have a search engine that rewards you, but it is essentially a hub for all kinds of internet activity that pays you back.  From surveys to shopping, video clips to video games, Swagbucks offers so many ways to earn cash depending on the way you use your Smartphone and the internet.

Below, I’ve listed Swagbucks’ many features in the order of your expected amount of involvement (1 being least to 6 being greatest).  You’ll get paid Swagbucks (SBs) for all of it, but the amount will be up to you!

1. Search

Swagbucks Search, now powered by Yahoo, is probably where you’ll find the least amount of involvement needed to rack up SBs in exchange for rewards.  Just substitute your idea of “let’s Google it” to “let’s look it up on Swagbucks,” and you’re pretty much set. 

Since people’s use of search engines is so instinctual (no thinking required) and habitual (you do it pretty much every day), the guys and gals at Swagbucks have decided to raise the bar a little bit.  Instead of rewarding you 1 SB for every search you make, you are rewarded SBs at random after an unspecified number of searches

Come again?

You read correctly.  After an x amount of searches, you will be rewarded an x amount of SBs.  In my experience, I’ve been rewarded as low as 5 SBs and as high as 25 SBs after about ±10 searches.  The good news is that there’s no real limit as to how many SBs you can earn in a day.  Sign up with Swagbucks and start searching today!

2.  Shop

If you’re anything like me, when you go to the store: you run in, get what you need to buy, pay, and get out.  My online shopping habits are quite similar.  However, I don’t get paid to shop online this way at all!

This is where Swagbucks steps in and says, “if you want go to get paid, come to me first!”  Swagbucks Shop works like the middle-man.  Think of it as your online “parking lot” before entering the store.  Swagbucks has partnered up with hundreds of online retailers so that you can get paid SBs for entering the online shop’s site through Swagbucks and making purchase.

3. Play

Have you ever been bored? (Silly me…not if you’re reading this blog, right?)  Well, for those who are not having as much fun as you are at this moment, Swagbucks has a spot where you can play online games and win SBs.  You’ll need to win a few games before you can go out and buy yourself an actual game console, but that’s why this is not at the top of this list.

4. Watch

If you don’t like to play games like online solitaire and make SBs, then Swagbucks may have an alternative that may interest you.  I call it “get paid-per-view videos clips.” They call it Swagbucks TV.

Some people spend hours and hours on Youtube watching some great videos, but what if you could get paid to watch them?  Swagbucks TV allows that to become a dream come true.  The videos do not play themselves, however, so you will have click the next button a few times before you get awarded any SBs.  Heads up, there will be tons of ads as well.  More on this in the weeks to come, but, for now, sign up with Swagbucks and startwatching Swagbucks TV today!

5. Discover

You may find yourself gunning for that $25 PayPal gift card in the Swagbucks Store, but you don’t have nearly enough SBs to get it.  So, now you’re feeling like making some higher bets. You’re probably willing to do almost anything to make up the lost ground.

Head on over to the Offers page, risk-taker, where you will find that different vendors are looking for people like to you try out their service and get paid.  This is by far the fastest way to make SBs, but YOU MUST READ THE FINE PRINT!  Some vendors require you to actually pay a fee before or after the trial period is over, so be very careful not to lose more money that you make.

6. Answer

Swagbucks Surveys are, in my opinion, the most involved of all the possible ways you can earn rewards on Swagbucks.  You have to be patient, and if you don’t qualify for one, don’t fret.  There are a thousand other ones you can take on.

Rewards Store

Alas, I have a mountain SBs and a shaky trigger finger.  It’s time to spend!  As complete as Swagbucks is in terms of making SBs, it isalso as complete in providing you ways to spend them.  Do you have a specific store you’d like to shop at?  There are gift cards for that!  Care to try your luck on some sweepstakes?  There are entries for that!  Are you just looking to cash out?  There’s even a way to do that through PayPal!  All of this and more can be found at the Swagbucks Store.

A word of caution regarding gift cards: Most gift cards do take 7 to 10 days for them to available for use, unless there’s a special where you can pay a little extra and get that gift care immediately.  Just remember, good things come for those who wait.

So, are you ready to make some money?  You should be aware that though Swagbucks may be life-changing for some, do not expect to quit your day job.  Swagbucks is a fun way to use the internet and get paid for it.  Period. 

Personally, I must say, I have made the more money on Swagbucks than another other app or internet service available online (as of today).  Furthermore, the availability to cash out using PayPal is definitely a huge plus for me.  So, what are you waiting for?  Signup for Swagbucks and start making your laptop or Smartphone “churn out” SBstoday!
