Introduction to Swagbucks: How to Earn Gift Cards!

Everyone could use a few extra dollars in their pocket. I am personally always looking for ways that I can help improve my family's finances by earning a few extra dollars. One extremely easy way to earn some extra cash each month is to join Swagbucks.com. I have earned at least $10 in gift cards each month from this site. This may not seem like much, but this amount is with little to no extra effort to what I already do online. Here is a newbie's guide to getting started on Swagbucks and some beginner's tips on earning significant swagbucks each and everyday!

Here are the most popular ways they award points:

• Searching the internet - I already do this, so I figure why not use the Swagbucks Search tool and get around 8-10 swagbucks awarded after a few searches.
• Daily Poll - The poll is usually about a fun topic and takes about 1 second to do. You may only earn 1 Swagbuck per day, but that adds up to 30 over the course of a month.
• Print Coupons - I was already printing coupons online through Coupons.com, so now I just print them directly through the Swagbucks site and earn 10 Swagbucks per coupon. These can really add up if you coupon alot.
• Surveys - I have earned the most Swagbucks from doing surveys. Sometimes it may take a few tries to qualify for a survey, but the payoff is bigger. Just doing a few of these over a month's time can really add up fast. I have tried other survey sites and Swagbucks is definitely the easiest I have found.
• Daily Deals - Do you already purchase through Daily Deal sites such as Groupon, Eversave, Plum District, etc? If you go through the Swagbucks site, you can earn Swagbucks for these deals too. And the awarded amounts are usually a couple hundred Swagbucks per deal.
• NOSO (No obligation special offers) - Just flipping through these every day will earn you another 2 Swagbucks; again these add up fast if you do this everyday.

When you have earned enough Swagbucks, you can redeem them through the website for gift cards to most popular stores, such as Amazon, Land's End, Travelocity, Papa John's, Target, ... the list goes on and on. You can alternatively have the money transferred to your Paypal account.

There are also opportunities to earn extra Swagbucks through Swagbuck codes that they sometimes post on their blog or bonus Swagbucks for reaching certain goals. They make their website really fun. This website is a really great way to earn a few extra dollars that you can use to help out your monthly budget. Best of luck to you!
