Swagbucks

Here is my guide to reaching your full earning potential with minimal effort (time and SB) on Swagbucks.com:

Daily Tasks (Monthly earning potential: ~$4.80)

Brand Activity – earns you 2 SB; some can be watched 2 or 3 times; reads as such and is usually located on the front page:

Daily Crave – earns you 1 SB; play video until it asks whether you like it or not
- These don’t always work correctly for me for some reason
Daily Poll – answer and earn 1 SB
NOSO – earns you 2 SB; click the “More Deals” button until you reach the end and then enter the captcha letters
Play – 10 SB max per day (no matter how many games played); score is irrelevant so just lose and repeat; it is best to pick a game where it doesn’t take much time to go through (my game of choice currently is Swagasaurus Run)

When You Have Extra Time (Monthly earning potential: unlimited)

Coupons – earns you 10 SB for every in-store coupon you print and redeem successfully; US only; may take up to 12 weeks after using coupon for SB to show up in your account
Search – usually awards SB (varies in amount) every 4-8 searches
- Try to search 3x a day (morning, afternoon, night)
Shop – many retailers are partners with Swagbucks and offer a certain amount of SB for every $1 spent. Before checking out online, see if the particular store is on the list.
Peanut Lab Surveys – not an activity I do a lot currently but others have mentioned Peanut Labs surveys as one of the best ways to earn SB
- The higher SB ones where you have to sign up (enter your information) often involve lots of clicking and sometimes confusion
- Can lead to large amounts of SPAM as well — best to use a separate email address
- There are also short quizzes (don’t have to answer all questions) you can take and videos you can watch for a quick 1 SB. Also have seen activities such as clicking through a flier/ad.
Swag Codes – Swag Codes are posted on their website, Facebook site, twitter, blog, etc.; simply enter swag code (usually a phrase) into textbox to earn 2-4 SB
- You can also use http://sc-s.com or the SBCodez site as a daily reference (check 2-3 times a day)!
nCrave – Basically the same as Daily Crave
nGage – Videos load in a seperate window; click “Next Page” button as it appears clickable after exploring content; 2 SB each time
Take a Discovery Break – Located on the frontpage; watch videos and earn 2 SB
Take a Quick Quiz – Located on the frontpage; 2 SB
Watch (Videos) – recently updated by Swagbucks
- Starts and plays through automatically with ads in between; watch in background
- You can earn up to 500 SB a day for watching unique videos

..this is now where the earnings really start to add up:
