I’m Addicted To Swagbucks

I love Swagbucks.  For anyone out there who doesn’t know about Swagbucks, allow me to enlighten you.  It’s a search engine with perks.  As a writer, I’m always looking things up online.  Normally I’d just head on over to Google and type in the keyword(s) and/or phrase and go from there.  Nothing magical, nothing wonderful.  Then I got started on Swagbucks and I’ve been having a ball ever since.  Not only do I get to do the same thing as I did on Google, but I get rewarded for it as well.

The thing to keep in mind with Swagbucks is that you DO NOT get points for each search.  It’s random and only comes up every so often, but it does come up.  I usually get anywhere from 5 to 15 points within the first couple of searches, then I might not get another one for the next 50 searches.  But that’s not the only way to get points.  You can get daily points by voting in the daily poll, checking out the survey page each day, filling out special offers, and even by shopping in their online store.

So, what are the points for???  As I just said, there is an online store complete with items for sale that can be purchased with Swagbucks.  This can be anything from wallpaper for your computer’s desktop to a 32″ HD, flat screen television.  And yes, that one takes a heck of a lot of bucks to get.  The ones I’m aiming for are all the gift cards that can be purchased with my Swagbucks.  A $5 Paypal card is 700 points, while a $5 Amazon.comgift card is only 450 points.  My goal is to get either the $25 or $50 Amazon gift card.  Although I have to be honest and say that it’s cheaper to get 5 $5 cards than the one $25 card.  Why???  I have no idea but whatever.

So if you’re looking for a way to get rewarded for searching online, check out Swagbucks.  You won’t become a millionaire, or even close for that matter.  But you might be able to gain enough points to get a new t-shirt, a ring, or even a big screen TV.  And all because you went to search for something you wanted to find anyway.
