Why Haven't You Started Using Swagbucks Yet?

 

You've seen people talk about Swagbucks.  You've even sort of looked into it but you just never got started.  Why?

I have made over $300 in amazon gift cards just by using Swagbucks as my search engine.  I'll also answer the random poll question.  It takes less than five seconds and I also "watch" the videos.

What are Swagbucks?
Swagbucks is a site that lets you earn Swagbucks (points) by literally just searching the web… something we do on a daily basis anyway! They also have an excellent referral program! If you refer someone over to Swagbucks and they earn a Swagbuck, you will earn a Swagbuck too–up to 1000 Swagbucks! So you could potentially earn 1000 Swagbucks from each friend you refer! Plus, once you accumulate enough Swagbucks, you can cash them in for various rewards, including Amazon.com gift cards (my personal favorite)!

How do you get started?

• Go here and register on Swagbucks by creating an account
• You will get some Swagbucks just for signing up!
• After registering, you can immediately start searching for anything you want on the web just by using the Swagbucks search engine!
• Periodically, while searching, you may see a pop up that says you’ve won anywhere from 1 to 10 or more in Swagbucks. I usually "win" swagbucks twice but sometimes three times a day.
• Another way to earn Swagbucks, is by entering a Swagcode that is released almost everyday. This is a special code that you can enter in the swagcode box and you will instantly earn Swagbucks without having to search for them! How do you get this special code? Go to the Swagbucks homepage, click on “Ways to Earn” in the top left, then click on “Special Offers” and then click on the “No Obligation Offers” blue box on the right.

Once you get to this page, it will state this:
Welcome to Swag Bucks Special Offers. Sign up for the free money-saving offers you like,
feel free to skip the rest, and find a special swag code reward at the end.
Skip ALL the offers by clicking the skip button or the See Next Offer button beneath the advertisement. Finally after about 7 pages you’ll be awarded with a Swagcode! Enter the code in the box provided on the homepage to see how much you’ve earned.

• After you’ve earned enough points, you can click on the upper tab labeled “Prizes”. Scroll down and under the categories section on the left hand side you should see “Gifts and Rewards”–click there. Now you can start scrolling through all the gift cards they have available. The Amazon.com gift card is by far my favorite reward! You can score a $5 Amazon.com gift card with just 45 Swagbucks, so literally in a month (possibly less) you could earn a $5 Amazon.com gift card!

Will you make your living on Swagbucks?  No. Will you make some money? Yes. Is it easy and free?  Yes and yes!!


So far I have earned over $100 in Amazon gift cards.  This won't pay the mortgage but it is something. Get mom and dad on board.  Get your friends on board.  Remember you get matched buck for buck until they reach 1000.  There are tons of other prizes.  I just find that Amazon gets the best bang for my swagbuck. Did you know you can buy groceries on Amazon?  I recommend saving up enough so that you have free shipping. I think your purchase has to be $25 or more.

Here is a recent screen shot of $120 in Amazon gift cards that I have redeemed.

Let me know if you decide to swagbuck!

Check out the Swagbucks rules before doing anything.  I do not break any rules and I earn on a consistent basis.

How to Change Your Thumbnail Picture on Facebook

 My new buddy at Bubblews (Bubblerian) just made a new blog and has been trying to figure some of the ins and outs of how the blogger blogs work.  He asked me a couple questions that I never thought about before and I didn't have answers for him.  :.( 

One of the problems that he was having is that he couldn't figure out how to change the thumbnail picture that comes up on Facebook when you share the web address.  We had some ideas and they almost worked but then he finally figured it out.

If you want to know how to choose the thumbnail for your blog when it is shared on FB check out his post here.

Oh and right now Amazon has a free kindle book titled Facebook Marketing That Doesn't Suck  It is a good read and you might find some good stuff there.

Go ahead and leave a comment!! : )
