Earn More Swagbucks to Redeem More Prizes

Swagbucks is a website that pays users for using its search engine feature. Users are rewarded with points, or Swag bucks, and these can be redeemed for merchandise or gift cards. I earn about $300 worth of gift cards and merchandise a month. Learn how to earn more points using this site so that you can win more prizes.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Make sure your kids use SwagBucks when doing homework. Kids are programmed by their school and teachers to go to Google first. Tell them they must use SwagBucks now -put the shortcut on your desktop and on bookmarks. Retrain them to search with SwagBucks when they are doing homework or reports. SwagBucks can used on multiple computers. You can even bribe them with a gift card when you get enough points! This method of bribery works well for teenagers.

  2. Step 2

    If you are married or have another significant other in the home or that uses your computer - or any other computer - explain how SwagBucks works and train them to use SwagBucks. Once the gift cards start arriving in the mail, they will understand. Use the same bribery technique as above.

  3. Step 3

    Remember to use it yourself. Whether you are searching for grocery coupons, a recipe, blog material, celebrity gossip, shopping codes, or a news story, use SwagBucks. Make it part of your daily outine.

  4. Step 4

    Get others to sign up and use Swagbucks. You have to be a good promoter! When others sign up under your referral code, you earn extra points. Promote SwagBucks on your blog, Twitter, Facebook, and through your email list. The more people who sign up under your name, the more points you earn.

  5. Step 5

    Sign up for the SwagBucks newsletter. This is a monthly newsletter with information on special offers and may contain bonus codes.

  6. Step 6

    Read the SwagBucks blog. You'll find helpful tips about how to get more points, how to promote your links, and prizes.

on 11/24/2009 Great summary. I would add that there are several other ways to earn swagbucks now - Trade-in your old cellphones, use their Swag & Earn kickback (click their links to go to the sites where you will shop and earn 1 swagbuck per $5 spent), Special No Obligations offers (click through to get a special swagbuck), Toolbar and Widget.

The only problem with your bribe for homework is that the results aren't always the best. Google or Google Scholar would help your kids get better references and grades!
