How to Make Money on Swagbucks

If you just joined Swagbucks, or are considering joining this rewards site, you should read this post.

In this post I cover tools and tips to make money on Swagbucks. It’s very easy to earn money with Swagbucks but sometimes it takes a little orientation to how the site works. There are so many different modules and mechanisms that it can be a little confusing at first.

How do I open a Swagbucks account?

It’s very simple to open an account. Visit the Swagbucks website at www.swagbucks.com. Enter your email address (this will be your Swagbucks account login) and set up a unique password. Personally, I recommend starting a brand new e-mail to use for all of your online money making activity. If you use your primary email, it can get cluttered up fast.

Does Swagbucks give you real money?

Yes, Swagbucks gives you real money. You site rewards you with points called Swagbucks for completing activities. 100 Swagbucks is equal to one dollar in cash or gift cards. You can redeem your Swagbucks via Paypal or giftcards to major retailers like Amazon. The minimum amount of earnings to withdraw is $1.

How much can you make from Swagbucks?

Swagbucks members can make anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a year depending on how you use the site. You can’t make a full time living out of it, but you can earn a little extra money for doing things you’re already doing. Using coupons, scanning receipts, playing games, watching videos, playing trivia, answering surveys, trying new apps or getting cash back rebates for online shopping. In my opinion, the online cash back rebates are the best part of Swagbucks because all you have to do is click a button to monetize a transaction you were already going to make. You’d be surprised how many stores will give you cash back via Swagbucks – just install the browser plugin and it will automatically tell you when you can earn Swagbucks from shopping.

Just a few of the sites you can earn Swagbucks by shopping online

Tasks to Complete on Day 1

Do the Profile Quiz

It only takes five minutes. Many people skip this survey because it only pays 25 Swagbucks. But completing this survey gives Swagbucks a member profile for you (basic information like your age, zip code, living situation, and employment status). This allows the site match you with relevant offers. If you leave the Profile Quiz blank, you’re shrinking your opportunities to earn. After you complete the short profile quiz, you’ll be prompted to verify your account by email. After you log into your email verify your account and you’ll earn an additional 5 SB.

Add the SwagButton!

The SwagButton is a free extension you can install in Chrome. Just go the extensions area and search for it. It only takes a minute to add and you’ll get 25 SB. Most importantly, this extension will tell you which sites offer cash back for online shopping. This is a very important part of making money on Swagbucks so make sure you install it!

Do your first offers!

These offers are all current as of the date of this post. Here are some sites you can join to earn Swagbucks.

  • Coinbase is a platform for trading crypto that will give you 3000 Swagbucks ($30) for signing up (plus $5 in Bitcoin)
  • Robinhood is a platform for trading stocks that will give you 1500 Swagbucks ($15) for joining (plus a free stock)
  • Stash will give you 7500 Swagbucks ($75) for signing up (plus $20 for depositing $5 from any source.

If you complete all of these activities, this should give you over $120 in Swagbucks just to start. The most important thing is to try and use the site a little bit every day, even if it’s just completing one survey, to keep your earnings coming in. I highly recommend checking out the subreddit dedicated to Swagbucks for more tips and tricks. There is a large and active community of users there who will be very helpful in identifying the best opportunities.
