Making money

Everyone loves money and NOTHING is better than free money. In September, we'll be going on what I guess you could call our 3rd annual trip to Minnesota. This year is going to be extra exciting though, because we're paying VERY little out of pocket (that's including gas, hotel, food and probably some extra for shopping). I'm sure you're all wondering how that's possible and the answer is simple: free money. Free money in the form of gift cards, money made from apps on my phone, survey sites, etc. I'm trying to start everyone slow so I'll show you one way to make some "easy money" at a time.



One of my favorite (and easiest) ways to earn free Amazon gift cards is by using a search engine called Swagbucks. Basically you search the web using this site instead of the others (google, yahoo, bing) and you get "swagbucks" periodically during your searches that can get turned in for many things, one of which is Amazon gift cards. TONS of the freebies I post pictures of, are freebies that I have received by spending free Amazon gift cards and let me tell you, I'm a HUGE fan of Amazon. You can purchase anything from food, to windshield wipers, to diapers and movies.

Basically, Swagbucks is a search engine, just like Google or Bing...but SO much better! It's better because Swagbucks "pays" you for using their search, by giving you "swagbucks". You can trade in your swagbucks, for different prizes and gift cards, including Amazon gift cards, itunes gift cards or even exchange your swagbucks for cash and have it sent straight to your paypal! Once you create a free account, you can download the Swagbucks toolbar for easy searching. Then, instead of searching on google, just make sure you're signed in on swagbucks and search away! The swagbucks points system is very random. You will not get swagbucks on every search, and there really isn't golden rule to get more swagbucks. All I can say is keep searching, and you'll be rewarded every day! Swagbucks also releases swag codes pretty regularly. These codes can be found in the blog, on the search site, or in an email. Once you find the code, you can enter it for MORE swagbucks! The amount varies as to how much you'll get, but you can pretty much count on between 5 and 15 swagbucks a day, depending on how much you use the search engine. You can easily earn enough for a $5 Amazon gift card each month.

If you join now, you'll get 80 Swagbucks FREE, that's 18% of what you'll need for an Amazon gift card! Go HERE to sign up and enter code HelpJapan to get 80 Swagbucks free.

To enter the code, make sure you first sign up HERE and then look for the gimme box (look at the picture below for reference!) on your swagbucks "home screen." Then copy and paste the code HelpJapan and you'll instantly receive your 80 free swagbucks!

  1. I do the NOSO & Daily Poll to earn easy SB, too.

    I like to keep on eye on the Daily Deals too. They show Living Social and Groupon deals. I got a $20 Groupon to Barnes & Noble for $10 and earned Swagbucks for it.
