4 Tips to Earn More Swagbucks
Are you earning free gift card just by using Swagbucks as your search engine (instead of Google or something else)? If you are new to Swagbucks read why I use and recommend Swagbucks as your search engine. Here are my 4 top tips to help you earn more Swagbucks to get your next free gift card faster!
Earn More Swagbucks
1. Use the Toolbar, Use It Frequently
You can’t earn Swagbucks unless you use Swagbucks to search. The easiest way to remember to use it is to have it in front of your face, at the top of your web browser. Just visit the “Toolbars” tab to download a toolbar or plugin.
2. Search for Your Website, Don’t Browse
Instead of typing in “Amazon.com” into your web browser, use the Swagbucks Toolbar and search for “Amazon”. So just leave off the “.com” part. Pay attention to make sure you are headed to the right website (the full url is displayed below the search result in green text) and you can look for “Official Site” text by the name of the site.
3. Pay Attention When You Win (Word Verify Your Wins)
That’s because on a random basis they will ask you to complete a word verification. If you “search & win” but don’t complete the word verification in time then you lose those Swagbucks. Believe me – it’s happened to me because I clicked on another tab before waiting to see if I won. Don’t let it happen to you – one of my readers commented and said you have 3 minutes to enter the word verification.
4. Win When Your Friends Win
Referrals are the key to earning more Swagbucks. So tell everyone you know – in conversation, by email, on Facebook, on Twitter. My first impression of Swagbucks was “this can’t be real, maybe those gift card prizes are real – but surely it takes forever to earn them”. Well – the gift cards are indeed real, and if you use Swagbucks on a regular basis and refer your friends you can redeem your Swagbucks for the gift cards you want faster than you would guess. So now I tell everyone I know about it.
I know there are a lot more tips on how to earn more, and feel free to share what you are doing to earn more by leaving a comment! If you wrote a post about it on your blog, feel free to leave a link to your blog!
You’ll find more useful resources in my Money 4 Mom series where I’ve shared how you can make money by blogging, searching the internet, working online, doing in-person market research, participating in University studies, and selling on eBay. I hope you find this series a useful resource if you are looking for sources of extra income.

Redbook Magazine: 1 Year Subscription for $4.50
It seems that many of my magazine subscriptions are ending between now and June, so I’ve been busy scoping out all the prices, trying to find the best deal, of course.
And where else could be a better place to look than Best Deal Magazines? I’ve gotten several subscriptions through them in the past and they almost always have the best prices…. and coupon codes to make them better!
So anyway, TODAY ONLY they have a 1 year subscription to Redbook magazine for just $4.50! That’s a great price, and it only lasts for today (1/27/10) only, so be sure to jump in on that one!
To take advantage of this great deal, click here to find this Redbook deal and you’ll notice that the price comes up as $5.29. Add it to your cart and use coupon code: PXSS131 to take an additional 15% off. That brings your price down to $4.50!
By the way, that coupon code can be used on most of their magazines through 1/31/10.
15 and counting…
Ok, so I finally jumped on board and signed up with Twitter a little while ago.
I’m trying to keep that updated with some of my blog posts as well as some exclusive links that don’t get posted on my blog. (Right now you can find a link to a great pen freebie on my Twitter page!)
I do this because sometimes I don’t have the time to type up a whole blog post, but it’s quick and convenient to post something on Twitter. That way I can always keep you guys up to date on freebies, coupons and great deals.
On my sidebar, you’ll notice my Twitter updater that always shows my latest tweet. You can click through to check out my Twitter page as well.
So, like I said, I haven’t been on Twitter long and I’m actually only following a few people, but I’m gradually adding more!
So if you use Twitter, consider following me so you don’t miss out on any good stuff. You know, it’s kinda depressing to see that I only have 15 followers… let’s get those numbers up! Please?
