Swag that Pays!

No, not the annoying phrase that all the tweens are using now. I'm talking about Swagbucks!


It's this pretty cool site that a friend recommended to me about a year ago. She was always posting updates on Facebook like "look at all this cool crap I got for FREE" At first I just ignored it, but after a while, it started to bug me. I want free stuff too! So she told me about Swagbucks, and now I'm a regular Swaggernaut!

I've had people try to convince me to join their pay-per-survey site before, and I've never liked any of them. But Swag is great because they give you so many ways to earn!

Of course there are surveys (which have never caused me to get any spam emails.) You can also earn by playing games online, doing 'tasks' online, and even just answering a simple poll question. You can earn by watching videos. Not lame videos either, they're actually normal clips you'd probably watch anyway. I like to have the music videos playing in a background tab while I work. Now I'm making extra money while I play work online!  You can also enter raffles to win more Swagbucks, or keep an eye out for codes which give you even more!

Shopping. You get Swagbucks back for shopping online. And not just those ridiculously over-priced sites you only go to when you forgot to get someone a Christmas present. I'm talking online stores like Walmart and Amazon. A no effort way to make money back on what you were going to spend anyway.

My favorite is the search engine feature. The results are actually really good, and I personally am starting to prefer Swagbucks search over Google.

Want a super easy way to earn with search? You know those sites you visit more than once a day? Like Facebook, your email, websites filled with celebrity gossip and cat pictures? Yeah, the ones you probably bookmarked so you don't wear out the same 10 letters on your keyboard? Well, just search for those websites in Swagbucks search once. Then bookmark the results. It takes you one extra click to get to the site, and you will probably earn some Swagbucks in the process. I've done that with two sites we hit up a lot at home. Just two sites. We probably make $1 or $2 a week just by having that one extra click. 

Now for the prizes. This is another reason I use Swagbucks instead of all the other survey sites. The prizes are great! You can buy coupons to local stores, raffle tickets to earn more Swagbucks, or give to charity. They have any sort of random item you've ever wanted to buy online. From body soap to bird cages. Jewelry to BBQ grills. And gift cards! Lots and lots of gift cards. That's all I buy with my Swagbucks. It really is just like free money!
