It’s Mega Swagbucks Friday: Some Easy Ways to Earn

December 30, 2011 by Andria Leave a Comment

Today is Mega Swag Bucks Friday!

Wondering what that means? Keep reading...

My friend, Cheryl, who blogs over at Simply CVS wrote a simple description of the Swag Bucks program which I posted a while ago.

Today Cheryl is going to share possible ways to earn easy Swagbucks.

Swagbucks that are Delayed in Posting

————————————————————————————————————————————–

There are several ways to earn Swagbucks that are super easy, but are not a sure thing. But they can increase your number of SB’s significantly.

Instant Winner

Each hour Swag Bucks announces an instant winner on the home page near the bottom. If your Swag Bucks user name is listed you will win 1000 SB’s. This is not a sure thing because even if your name is listed you have to be able to see it that hour to win.

You’ve Got Mail

There is a Swag Bucks mail box at the top right of the home page beside the Facebook connect button. If you have mail it will have a little red number beside it. These messages usually contain SB earning opportunities–some will be free offers or videos that are super easy and quick to do and sometimes there are Swag Codes listed.
Not a sure thing that there will be something you want to participate in, but the SB’s are a sure thing if you do participate.

Promotion Banners

Swag Bucks offers dozens of banners for you to use on your website, blog or social networking profile (like the one to the right, above and at the bottom of the page).
The banners contain your referral link (the ones here contain mine) and you will receive matching SB’s for the first 1000 SB’s earned by any new members who sign up under you.
There is also a referral link you can use for inviting friends.
The reason I say this is not guaranteed is that often referrals sign up and then do not participate. If they do searches you are guaranteed by Swag Bucks a match of their first 1000 SBs.
Find these under the Promote button at the top of the page.

Social Networking

When you win a SB there is an option to share it immediately on your social networking sites as a post saying you just won on Swag Bucks. Any referrals who sign up thru the link will be under you and you will earn the first 1000 SBs from their searches just like they do.
The reason I say this is not guaranteed is that often referrals sign up and then do not participate. If they do searches you are guaranteed by Swag Bucks a match of their first 1000 SBs.
You can even connect your SB account to your Social Networking account so your activity is automatically shared.
Find these under the Promote button at the top of the page.

Tool Bar Swag Codes

At times there are Swag Codes listed in the tool bar. If you have it down loaded you may find one there.

Facebook/Blog/Twitter

I have read that once in a while they choose comments on their FB page, blog or Tweets and award SB’s.

Write Daily Polls

You can submit daily polls and if yours is chosen to be used you will win 100 SBs.
See details here: Swagbucks Blog

Swago

From their site: “It’s the Swag Bucks version of Bingo! When you redeem items from select categories on Swagbucks.com, you’ll automatically receive a Swago game piece. Connect any 5 pieces to win 1,000 Swag Bucks! Look for the Swago icon on the prize description page to know if that item qualifies you for a game piece.”
