**Swagbucks 101**

This is for all of you that have asked me about Swagbucks and how it works!

 Have your heard of Swagbucks yet? If not, listen up! You can earn FREE Amazon.com and Starbucks gift cards and so much more! The best part? There are no strings attached to this wonderful program!
 What is Swagbucks and how does it work? Swagbucks is a site that lets you earns Swagbucks for searching the web, referring friends, using the Swagbucks tool bar, and much more!

 You search the web on a daily basis for deals and other things anyway, right? If you use Swagbucks  as your search engine to find those deals, you can start earning Swagbucks (basically just points that you can redeem) right away after you sign up!

 How to Join Swagbucks and Get Started :: 

 – Go here to create your own Swagbucks account and to get started Swagging!

 – Just for joining, you will receive 30 Swagbucks!

 -Start searching the web! From time to time while searching, you will notice a box that pops up letting you know how many Swagbucks you have earned for searching the web. You can earn 20-50 Swagbucks per day just by searching the web. I find that the best time to search and get Swagbucks is in the morning and evening.

 -Take advantage of earning extra Swagbucks just by browsing the Special Offers section each day. Click on the Ways to Earn Tab at the top of the menu. Then, click on the Special Offers drop down menu. Lastly, click on the No Obligation Offers. You can just click on skip to go through them. You can do this on a daily basis and win more Swagbucks!

 -The best thing I love about Swagbucks? Their awesome referral program! Once you refer someone to Swagbucks, and they earn a Swagbuck, you will get Swagbucks as well! So, I would suggest referring all of your family and friends to get lots of Swagbucks! The points add up very quickly, I promise and you will be cashing in soon on great prizes! You only need 450 points for a $5 Amazon.com gift card!

 -Use the Swagbucks Tool Bar- Download it to your computer and earn Swagbucks!

 – Be on the lookout for Swag Codes! These are Bonus Codes that you can find and then enter in the box on the home page that says “Enter Swag Codes” Sometimes this will be listed right on the home page.

 -Email Newsletter-I have received many Swagbucks through the Newsletter. I believe that they send it out 2-3 times per month. It almost always will have a special code for you to enter in the “Swag Code” box on the home page! To subscribe to the Newsletter click on the tab on the home page.

 -You can also earn Swagbucks by shopping through them online! When you need to make a purchase, you can go to the Ways to Earn tab on the homepage to see how to get Swagbucks for making online purchases!

 -Oh, and last but not least, every Friday is Mega Swagbucks Day ! That means instead of earning the regular 10-30 Swagbucks, you can earn up to 100 or more Swagbucks! I have earned as many as 50 Swagbucks in one time on Friday!

 Prizes For Earning Swagbucks:

 After you have started earning Swagbucks, you will get to cash in for some really great prizes! My favorite prizes are the Starbucks and Amazon.com gift cards! I am on my 3rd Starbucks gift card right now, and have won several Amazon.com gift cards too! You can also earn these gift cards to give for presents! That would be a frugal way to save on buying gifts for family and friends!

 There are many different prizes to choose from on Swagbucks. From gift cards to places like Macys, Sephora, Amazon.com, Starbucks, and sweepstakes to everything in between! Go the Rewards tab on the Swabucks home page to browse the rewards section and see what you can earn!

 I really hope that you will join Swagbucks and take advantage of this great program! It is alot of fun, and I must admit, addicting!
