Friday is Mega Swagbucks Day!

Fridays are Mega Swagbucks Days! That means that the Swagbucks amounts are higher. For instance, I searched for "NYC Weather" this morning and got 11 Swagbucks instead of the usual 7ish). I've put some tips for earning Swagbucks at the bottom of this post.

If you haven't signed up for Swagbucks yet, what are you waiting for? Click here to sign up. They are still offering 1,000 Swagbucks for doing a 30 day FREE trial of Netflix. I know that some of you who already have Netflix were able to sign up for the free trial using a spouses name to get the Swagbucks.

What is Swagbucks?

Swagbucks is a search engine that is powered by Google and Ask.com. Basically, you would just use Swagbucks to do your normal internet searches. Sometimes, included with your search results, is a bonus of between 7 and 50 Swagbucks. Swagbucks are just points that you get to spend in the Swagbucks Swag Store. They have tons of things to chose from, but I always pick the Amazon.com gift cards because they're quick and easy.

The first few search results that pop up are "sponsored," meaning that if you click on one of those, Swagbucks makes money. You don't have to click those. I'm just letting you know that so you'll know why they're freely handing out these Swagbucks.

It doesn't cost you anything to join Swagbucks, and you don't even need to give them your real name if you don't want to. If you decide to sign up, please use my referral link: 

You will receive your own link when you sign up for Swagbucks. For any friends you refer, you'll receive matching Swagbucks for their internet searches (until they've earned 1000 Swagbucks). You also have the opportunity to earn Swagbucks with special codes they put in their blog, but I usually just earn mine form searching. 
Here are some tips for earning Swagbucks:

1. If you already know the web address you're going to, just enter that web address into the Swagbucks search box.
2. Download the Swagbucks toolbar. You get 1 Swagbuck per day for using it. If you leave your computer on all of the time, you'll need to quit your internet browser once per day to receive the credit.
3. Take the Daily Poll. Each day, Swagbucks asks one question from it's users. It only takes a second to vote in the daily poll and you'll get 1 Swagbuck for participating.
4. Gimme Codes. These are codes that get put out a times per day and you enter the code on the Swagbucks website to receive points. They always announce their codes on their FB page. If you have free text messaging on your cell phone, you can sign up through FB to receive notifications whenever Swagbucks posts a new status so you don't miss any of the codes.
5. Get your friends to sign up for Swagbucks. When you sign up, you'll get a unique referral link. Whenever a friend signs up for Swagbucks using your referral link, you'll receive matching Swagbucks for all of their searches up to 1,000 Swagbucks!
