Swagbucks: Redeemed Points for Paypal Prize

I am so excited!  

I redeemed my Swagbucks points for a Paypal card!

May 11, 2012 I turned in 3215 Swagbucks points for a $25 Paypal gift card.  I checked a few times during the week and Swagbucks had not yet deposited the money into my Paypal account.  I did some research and found out that the transaction can take up to 2 weeks to process. 

So I decided to kick back and wait for another week then go back and check.

Well, to my surprise I received an email Friday, May 18, 2012 that a deposit of $25 was made to my Paypal account!!  What a relief.  All the work earning those points and now I got the payoff.  It felt good.  It is free money.  I watched a few videos, took a few polls and did some shopping and got rewarded for it!

Earn Swagbucks Points Fast with Swagbucks TV

One thing I have gotten addicted to is watching the Swagbucks videos at Swagbucks TV. 

At first, I only tuned in to Swagbucks TV to earn Swagbucks fast but as I explored and viewed the more I realized I was enjoying what I watched.

I am in love with the food videos.  Just this morning I learned how to make poached eggs.  I know, many of you already know how to do this, but I didn't.  And the video was only 2 minutes long.

My family are movie goers, at least twice a month.  So another category I like watching is the movie trailers. 

There are many categories.  News, entertainment, food, animals, fashion, health, home and garden and the list goes on.  There are literally 100's of videos to choose from.

And many times special offers will come in your Swagbucks inbox in which you can earn more points by watching a certain video they send to you.

How do you earn points?

After you watch 10 videos you get 3 points.  And there is no limit to how many you can watch.

Those are some easy, fast Swagbucks points!

Become.com: Shopping Your Way

Quality at a great price.

I write quite a bit here about quality and trust.  

This is the never ending battle when we shop for our homes. 

We want to be able to buy furnishings for our homes but found that this can cause a deep deficit in our bank accounts.

I have the solution.  Become.com.

Become's motto is "Shopping Your Way".  At Become you aren't stuck just buying whatever is available to later worry about whether or not the table you ordered will be worth the money you just paid.  At Become you get to price compare and get feedback like product reviews, tips and answers to decorating dilemmas we can come across.  You get the freedom to compare and choose from thousands of quality products from reputable shops.

How about a white bedroom vanity for your daughter's room?  White furniture is perfect for a girl of any age and can be a staple furniture as her tastes mature. Her furniture never has to change, even though the color on her walls may.

Do you change your bedspread for the spring or summer feel?  The Madison park bedding purple has the simple flowery touch to match the spring feel outside your bedroom window.  Let the breeze come in.  The softness of the bedspread will lend an elegant feel to your room during the day.  And keep you warm during those cool spring nights.

And, frankly, I thought cherry furniture was beyond my reach.  I was looking in the wrong places.  Become has a round cherry coffee table that would look amazing in front of my mocha colored leather sofa.

 Stop by Become and see what treasures you find for your home.

Swagbucks Searches are Generous with the Buck Winnings

Swagbucks searches have been very generous lately.  I was on a Swagbucks hiatus for a while and I just came back this week.

Every time I have done the first search of my day I have won Swag Bucks!  So cool!  Usually I need to search 3 times but lately they have been very generous.

Keep it up Swagbucks! THX!

Swagbucks: Is It Worth It?

I've been doing the math.

I earn about 10 Swagbuck points per day.  That is 300 per month, minimum.

At this rate, I can achieve my goal of obtaining the Paypal cash of $25 in about 11 months.

My first inclination is to quit Swagbucks.  BUT then  I wonder.  It takes me less than a minute to earn those 10 points.  I do the daily poll for 1 point and a simple search which usually yields 8-11 points.

The math: 

1 min/day

30 min/month

11 months to earn $25. 

11 months x 30 min/month = 330 min for $25

330 min = 5.5 hours

$25 / 5.5 hrs = $4.55/hr

Less than minimum wage for the United States.

Is this worth it? (Stick with me here.)

Yes and no.  

When I do the math, no.  Really, who wants to earn $4.55 / hr? 

Actually, many Internet marketers and online entrepreneurs make less than that for the first 2 years. 

So, in hindsight.  One minute a day to earn what I wouldn't otherwise is a fair trade.  And I can say, Swagbucks is pretty generous with their points compared to what I have attempted in the past.  And it is fun and easy.

My numbers are based on the minimum points.  I do usually earn more.  AND if I get people under me, which I do, the potential to earn more rises.

What do you think?

SAHM and Swagbucks

Stay at Home Mom for 12 Years. 

Actually, I am still in that limbo state where I am employed (sub teacher) but part-time and I am trying to make a living online.  I stay home most days to work on my blog, Ramblings of a WAHM, and any of my other online adventures online like my Hubpages and this blog.  When my kids get home from school I am there, so I still consider myself a SAHM but almost WAHM.  Let's just say I am a mom of many coats, lol.
 

While I was a full time SAHM I wished I knew about the opportunities available to me online to bring home some extra cash or even free stuff to help my family out.  Just a year ago or so I decided to start researching online income.  I have been working online for over a year now and I have settled in quite well. I have found some extraordinary sites that offer great opportunity to bring home that extra cash.  And every month I grow more.

I started out this online journey with my main blog, my baby, my hopes and dreams, Ramblings of a WAHM.  This is my hub.  I talk about how to blog for in income, how to blog, social media, SEO and my online income journey there.  I love my blog. It is made of my blood, sweat and tears.

Then I started Hubpages account.  You can find me there as AllieRambles. I write articles there and make some extra cash every month.  The more you put in the more you get.  Honestly, not many people earn a living there but I can say the earning potentials are great. 

And I am also active on Swagbucks.  This is my fun place.  The place I go to when I don't want to go offline but don't really feel like thinking much.  I earn points there so I can turn them into gift cards or PayPal money.  If you would like to know more just read What is Swagbucks?

It is not a cake walk, by any means.  You still need to earn your living BUT it is all you.  Your earnings are your choice.  How much do you want to make?  Sure you do start out slow.  Two cents in the first month is common.  But keep going, before you know it you've made a sale from something you sell on your blog, earned enough points to get a $10 Amazon Gift Card and your Google Adsense account is growing slowly. 

As you grow so does your income.  It does take some time, a little knowledge and some hard work.  


What are you waiting for?  

Join Hubpages and Swagbucks.

Swagbucks Search: The Most Points So Far For Me

I just did a Swagbucks Search and received 33 points!  I know that is no jackpot but the usual amounts are between 7-12 points.

What I did forget is that it is Swagbucks Mega Swag Bucks Day.  You have a chance to earn up to 1000 points just by searching with Swagbucks.  That equals about a $10 gift card on SB!  So let me put it this way, "would you like to win $10 just by searching for your favorite topics?"  I do.

Swagbucks Search got me 33 points!
