Swagbucks Nuts & Bolts

Here is my initial posts on what Swagbucks is and here is a little tutorial about how I earn my Swagbucks.  I have had this post on my personal facebook for quite sometime, but realize I'm not "friends" with all my readers so wanted to share it here as well!! Here is what I bought with my Swagbucks this year and my husband also got a snowboard!

How I earn SB's:
There are SEVERAL ways to earn here are a few of the ones I use the most.

DAILY:
-Daily Poll: Answer the swagbucks daily poll question and earn 1 SB (takes less than aminute)

-NOSO: No obligation special offers - if you click through their series of offer and just keep clicking "skip offer" at the end of about 5 pages you will earn 1-2 SB (takes less than a minute)

-Using the Swagbucks toolbar (if you choose to install it) you will earn 1 SB daily.

-Using their search engine: This is where you will earn larger quantities however not every search equals a win. I just make sure that I search everything on their engine, so instead of typing facebook.com into my address bar i search "facebook" on the sb's site... I typically earn anwhere from 7-40 Sb's a day by using their search engine.. now i will admit sometimes i can't find what i need and will end up going to google, but most of the time I do find what i need.

OTHER WAY TO EARN:
-Coupons - if you use the coupons off their site you will get 10 sb's per coupon (after about 6-10 weeks) this is a bonus for me since I am a couponer!!

-Swagbucks TV- If you watch a series of 10 videos you will get 3 Swagbucks.  I just will typically leave it up on my computer and click throughout the day and not watch them. 

-Special Offers - Often times there are simple offers you can do such as like something on facebook, or watch a video and you can earn lots of swagbucks that way.  Yesterday I earned 80 just from clicking through the free special offers and doing what they say.  Just never actually pay for anything or subscribe with your debit card cause it may result in a charge later.

-Referrals: you get someone to sign up they get some and you get some!
How do I Use Swagbucks?

-Trusted Surveys: A lot of times I will not qualify for a survey, but even if you don't you will get 1 SB for trying to qualify (max of 5 earned a day by "not qualifying"), but sometimes I do qualify and will earn 100 or so from taking a survey.  Actually I did a simple survey last week and agreed to do a product testing on some ALL detergent and today got 2 full sized containers of two different types of ALL.  So not only did i get SB's I got free detergent! 

TIPS
-I make a goal to earn an average of 40 SB's a day if possible. some days I go way over espeically if i complete a survery or do some good earning on my searches (fridays they give higher quantity amounts out). Some days I'll barely do any if i'm super busy. but all in all my goal is to try and get 2 $5 amazon cards a month. Plus even if you do the bare minimum and get your super easy ones and maybe one search reward you could probably earn at least $5/month... also note, i know people who get $25/month or more in gift cards... so really its up to you!

- I redeem them as I earn them but save the codes for the end of the year at christmas.  This year we got over $200, and I bought a kindle and my husband bought a snowboard with our free gift cards!

-Some poeple i know use it to get free diapers on amazon, and other just save them for starbucks cards to treat themselves.. there are so many options, but really free dollars to amazon is worth the little time I spend... Especially since I search the internet frequently during the day anyways!
