A Swagbucks Tutorial!

I've decided to create a new and improved post on some of the best ways to earn Swagbucks. This post will show you step by step instructions on navigating the Swagbucks site. It you follow these steps everyday, you'll have tons of Swagbucks (which equals $$$) in no time at all! Happy Swaggering!

Step 1: Sign Up Here (If you haven't already) Make sure to verify your email. I would suggest you use an email address that you don't mind getting a few extra emails in. Swagbucks will send you an email a day, unless you opt out.

Step 2: Complete your Daily Poll and NOSO activities on the left hand side of the main Swagbucks page. You will earn 3 SB total for these two activities. Tip: When you complete the NOSO, click the red circle, then hit "skip" or "no thank you" then enter the captcha code. 

Step 3: Use the Swagbucks search engine 3-10 times a day. But not more than that. If you search for too many things in a row or too many searches in a hour it locks out out from earning points. I usually earn 6-10 SBs within my first 3 searches. 

Step 4: Swagbucks codes. Everyday, sometimes multiple times a day, there will be a secret code you can enter in the Swag Code drop down box, just copy and paste the active code. Hurry though, they expire fast! My friends and I try to let each other know when there is a new code posted on Facebook. If you follow them on Facebook, you will get the codes pretty fast. I also post them on my SWC Facebook page.

Step 5: Print coupons.com Coupons through the Swagbucks site. They put a user id number on these coupons, and for every one you use, you get 10 SB. I just got 50 coupons credited to my account this week. Yes that's 500 Swagbucks, or $5 worth. And mostly while I was sleeping! I like earning money while I sleep! Do you? *Take note that it takes about 2 months for you to get credit for the coupons, so be patient. Also, if you want to save ink, you can print these in black and white, you do not have to print them in color.*

Step 6: Take Surveys (under the Answer tab, then under paid surveys). This is by far the fastest way to earn the most amount of Swagbucks. 

If you fill out your profile on Survey Dashboard, it will pick the best surveys for you. I usually have to try 4 or 5 times before I find a survey I'm qualified for. I also usually also pick the ones that are shorter for more points. Say for instance I would pick a 15 minute survey for 125SB over a 30 minute survey for 50SB. Keep trying! Don't give up on this, it really does work! 

ALSO go to your account, then "my settings", then "survey profiles". You will earn SB doing this and qualify for more surveys.

Step 7: The "Computer Guy". Look for this picture on the Swagbucks main page. It will direct you to watch short videos or open articles. Keep watching the countdown ticker, and when it turns green, hit it. You can earn about 2SB every minute! Just keep going and going until it says "no more videos are available today". This is by far a fast and simple way to earn SBs. I can earn up to 80 SB in about an hour. Just click, click, click....

Step 8: Watch videos. Go to the "Watch" tab and click on a video. When you watch the first 20-30 seconds of a video you get a green dot. 10 green dots give you 3 Swagbucks!

Step 9: Special Offers. This is one of the highest paying ways to earn SB. *When signing up for offers, 1.Make sure its free 2.Use an email address and phone number that you don't mind getting spammed/called, because sometimes it will happen. 3.Take a screenshot and save it when you complete the offer, because you might have to submit a report ticket.* Go to the "Discover" tab, and then "Special Offers".

Step 10: What to do with all those Swagbucks??? Turn them in to cash! You can redeem your Swagbucks for Giftcards to hundreds of places including Walmart, Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, etc. You can use the giftcards online or print them out to spend at the store. Also, you can send the money straight to your Paypal account, if you don't want a giftcard! I personally like the Amazon cards. You get more bang for you buck, and Amazon gives you free shipping on purchases over $35. There is a limit to those though, you can only get 5 a month. Also, make sure to verify your Swagbucks redemption's or you won't get them, and the Swagbucks will go back into your account. It takes up to 10 business days for giftcards to show up in your "My Giftcards" Section in your Swagbucks account.

This is it for now, I will keep updating this post with more tips every so often. Happy Swagbucks earning!!!
