The first time I go to the Swagbucks home page each day, I start with the left sidebar and work my way down from top to bottom.
On the very top, if anything is super special that day, they put up a little banner. This may be a special sale, a team challenge, a special blog post. It changes. Sometimes there is nothing there. If there is a banner, check it out and see what it is and if it is something that would interest you.
Next, you will see your Daily Goal. There are actually 2 goals that you can meet. The first one is usually easily attainable based on your participation in the past. The second one isn't always as easy to reach. They tend to try to push you to do better. Don't worry if you don't meet your 2nd goal. The days that you don't meet it help to lower the 2nd goal for you. These bonuses really add up over the month. They will credit you any bonuses that you have earned towards the beginning of the month. For example, the bonuses that we earn in May will be paid into our accounts by June 5th. It's always a welcome boost to my account :)
Next, you will see "Show My Winning Streaks". On top of the daily bonuses that you earn for reaching your goals, you can also earn bonuses for the number of days that you consecutively reached your 1st goal. Basically, you could earn as little as 25 Swagbucks for reaching your goal 7 days in a row; but, you could earn as much as 300 extra Swagbucks for reaching your 1st goal every day in the month. I strive for the 300 myself!
After that, you will have your To Do List. This involves the following:
Daily Crave - This is the last item I do on this To Do List. I like these Daily Craves because I can do other things while I am earning. A lot of times, I will play my 10 games of Swag Jump (and earn another 10 Swagbucks) while I am doing the Daily Craves. Doubling up activities can earn you more Swagbucks. I will try to pass on any tips that I may have for you! How much do I earn here? Well, that varies every day. There are no set number of Daily Craves that you will get - sometimes it's quite a few, sometimes it's just a couple. Don't pass these by! These are very simple Swagbucks!
SwagButton - This one is basically a freebie, as long as you download the SwagButton onto your toolbar. It's great! They let you know when you earn, when they are giving away free Swagbucks with a code, etc. Plus, it gives you some quick links to your account information. As long as you have the SwagButton on, they will automatically credit your account 1 Swagbuck.
Daily Poll - I start here on my To Do List. This is a simple poll that Swagbucks gives. They basically ask one question and give you a few choices to answer. Commenting on the poll is optional and not required. This will give you 1 Swagbuck.
NOSO - I do this one after the poll. This stands for No Obligation Special Offers - As the name implies, you can just skip through any or all of the offers if none of them interest you. At the end, you will be given 2 Swagbucks.
Last but not least, under Stay Connected, I go to visit the Swagbucks Blog. They are really good about keeping fresh information there and updating us all on the upcoming opportunities for us all to earn Swagbucks. As a matter of fact, I visit the blog often during the day. On the blog, they also randomly give out 1000 Swagbucks to various members. Make sure you have a profile picture attached to your Swagbucks account and one day, you could see your picture and name up there. They change the winner hourly, so check in frequently. I'm still waiting to see my name there, but believe me, if I am a winner there, I will be sure to tell you.
In the upcoming days, I will tell you more about the various ways to earn Swagbucks and get yourself some free gift cards! If you are interested, click here and check out their site. It is free to join. You won't be ask to pay down the road either. Swagbucks is a way to earn free gift cards, not to empty your wallet!
Have a great day and I will talk more to you soon!
