Swag Bucks: 101

 

So apparently there has been some confusion about Swag Bucks and I want to attempt to clear it up with this brief tutorial. I keep getting emails, texts, phone calls and FaceBook Messages from my friends, family and readers- I love Swag Bucks and you will too (once you get up and going).

What is Swag Bucks
Swag Bucks is a search engine that offers you the chance to win cool prizes  every time you search. It works like Google- actually it is powered by Google- so if you know how to do a Google Search you won't have any problems using Swag Bucks for your internet searches.

What are Swag Bucks
Swag Bucks is a type of virtual currency (like frequent flier miles). The more you search the internet, the more you earn. They are awarded randomly and the amounts vary. Some searches will win you $0, others will win you $10, $20, $30 or more in Swag Bucks.

Redeeming Your Swag Bucks
You can cash your Swag Bucks in at the Swag Store for all kinds of cool prizes: Gift Cards, Electronics, and more. Personally, I always choose to purchase the 

Amazon Gift e-Cards with my SwagBucks. 

 

A $5 Amazon e-Card will cost you 450 SwagBucks. When you go to the Swag Store, the prize categories are listed and within each category you will see the Swag Price for the specific Prizes. Once you have enough Swag Bucks to redeem the prize you want- you just select your prize and confirm your personal info (email address, shipping address etc.) Then a confirmation email will be sent to your inbox. Just open the email, click on the confirmation link and within 7-14 days your prize will post to your account. You will be able to redeem your e-Gift Card. If it is a plastic Gift Card or other "physical" prize- just check your mail box.

Ways to Earn
There are several ways to earn Swag Bucks- the most basic and highest earning is for your internet searches. Let say you wanted to search for "Jessica's Coupons". You would type Jessicas Coupons in the search bar and it would bring up the possible sites. Sometimes you will not earn anything for your search- other times you will earn Swag Bucks- it is random. 

 

When you earn Swag Bucks for your interent searches those are automatically credited to your account as long as you are signed in. If you are not signed in, a box will pop up asking that you sign in so you can claim your prize.

Swag Bucks Tool Bar
Another perk to adding the Swag Bucks Tool Bar are the Swag Codes released on the tool bar from time to time. These codes are time sensitive. Once you find the code- just copy the code and go to the Swag Bucks Home Page. Then paste the code in to the box that says "Swag Code" then hit the GIMME button. If you have entered a valid code before it expires the Swag Bucks will be added to your account. These Swag Codes vary in amounts; however, once you enter an accepted code it will let you know the amount you earned for entering the code.

There are other ways to earn like doing special offers, shopping, and referring your friends- those links are all on the home page. I am not going to go into that at this time because this tutorial is just the basic info to get you up and going. Once you have figured out the meat and potatoes of using Swag Bucks, you can click on the links to find other creative ways to earn more Swag Bucks.

As a special promotion in honor of Swag Buck's 2nd Birthday, Swag Bucks has offered my readers a special 60 point code (new sign-ups only). This code expires tomorrow (3/4). So if you are thinking about signing up I would go ahead and do it now while you can get the 60 points. Even if you don't have time to fool with it right now you can sign up now while the bonus points are available, and then go back and try it out at a later time. This way- at least you'll have 60 points.

My Swag Bucks 

People always ask me how much I earn. Everyone is different. It depends on how much you do. I say I am pretty middle of the road. (but I am on the internet a lot) 

 

I have won 120 SwagBucks in the past 5 days for my internet searches ONLY. I have won additional Swag Bucks doing other things. Remember it takes 450 to earn a $5 Amazon Gift Card. I usually earn 3-4 ($5) Amazon e- Gift Cards a month. I am on the internet a lot and I use my Swag Bucks Tool Bar.

For the last 5 Days I have posted all my Swag Bucks Wins to My Personal FaceBook Page (Searches ONLY).
