“It only took 6 weeks to get $300 worth of gift cards from Swagbucks…OMGoodness..what are you doing to get them so quickly! I’ve been at it for about 4 weeks and only have 70 Swagbucks total…far cry from what I’ll need to get $300 in gift cards. Any secrets? “
I figured I should just do a post so you all can take advantage of Swagbucks! The first thing that really made a difference in how many I had was telling people! I started telling all my friends and family and asking them to sign up and give it a try! I felt a little like I was trying to sell AMWAY or something but it really is easy to do! The key is to get people to sign up under you. When they receive a swag buck you get one too, up to the first 100. My husband, kids and some friends use swagbucks first, then go to google if they need more info. Just from this alone I can get 30 sometimes in a day!
For me I have found that the more I use swagbucks the more I win. If I am only using it occasionally I might get $1 here and there. If I am using it on a regular basis I start getting $2-$3 at a time. So being consistent seems to be a key.
When you first sign up you get $3 just for starting. To get your link so your friends and family can sign up under you, go to Swagbucks.com, then click the PROMOTE tad at the top. Click on Invite Friends and Earn, then click the green PROMOTE star. There will be a little guy with your referral link. Have your friends and family sign up under you and start earning!
P.S. Downloading the tool bar makes it sooooo much easier. I found that if I type in Mylitter of 6 more often than not I get a swagbuck!

Thanks for the tips…I use swagbucks but not as often as I should. I was doing it constantly for awhile and then stopped. I will be heading back there today.

JusFrugal, Thanks for clarifying that! I didn't mean to mislead anyone! My kids and spouse dont have their own, they just know to search on our computers using swagbucks, it helps having that many people doing searches!
