How does Swagbucks work? Swagbucks is a free search engine.  You sign up for a Swagbucks account, start searching, and win swagbucks that you can trade for cool things like Amazon gift certificates, Paypal money, and you can even donate your swagbucks to plant a tree!  When you search, you’ll see ads up at the top (just like other search engines) and basically they are giving you a cut of the advertising dollars they earn.

I got a $50 bonus payment for making a video about our alcohol consumption (believe me, it wasn’t that exciting because we’re not big drinkers). I also got my payment for my video views, which was $3.14 but still nice because I didn’t have to do any work to get it. I made $74.21 today and had no idea it was coming.  What a great start to the weekend! I’m trying to decide what I’m going to do with it, and most likely I’ll be putting it in my savings account.  I can always decide later what I’ll do with it. I’m glad I signed up for these different [...]
