SwagBucks has turned out to be a very dependable extra money maker for me! You can see my breakdown of what I have redeemed above. This month, I've redeemed my SwagBucks for $45 Cash sent to me through Paypal, which gets instantly transferred to my bank, another $5 Gift Card for Amazon.com, and 2 very nice Eco-friendly shirts.
I have decided to redeem ALL future SwagBucks for Cash on Paypal, and added it to my list of Money Makers. Combine the $45 I made with them so far this month with all of the extra money makers that I've told you all about, and it's become one of the easiest ways to make extra money on the list!
I'm averaging around 75 SwagBucks per day, just for doing web searches, grabbing the SwagCodes, etc. They add up really fast! I'm now looking at it as equivalent to Cash Money -forgetting the prizes, money in the bank is always better!
If you haven't started with SwagBucks yet, what are you waiting for? Just download and install the toolbar to use for your normal searches and start earning! Then keep your eyes out for the SwagCode Alerts I post on Facebook for those daily bonuses! As TSG says, Happy SwagSurfin to all Swaggernauts!
I'm so excited! In the last 2 weeks, I have gotten $20 on Paypal and I just redeemed even more of my SwagBucks for another awesome Ladies T-Shirt that is made from Recycled Plastic Bottles! This is the SECOND Eco-Friendly Shirt that I've gotten today! I can't wait to get them! They say that this fabric is so soft and you would never imagine that it started out as a plastic bottle!
I'm loving SwagBucks! If you haven't signed up and downloaded their toolbar, you are missing out! I'm not doing anything differently than I usually would, and am earning SwagBucks just for doing the internet searches I would normally do! I love FREEBIES, so they must have created this rewards program just for me!
I'll be sure and post photos of the actual shirt once it gets here! I can't wait!
By request and for my own accountability on the financial end, I'm posting my recap for this week!
First up, it was a slow freebie week! I think the wonderful USPS slows down when it's snowing ( GASP! who could ever make such an accusation! ) but nevertheless, a slow week for mail altogether for my household, but still some freebies! Some fragrance vial samplers, highlighter pen, several shampoo/conditioner packets ( I love these for traveling!) Murad Cleansing Cream sample (another travelbag great!), Prilosec OTC sample, Celestial Seasonings green Tea sample pack, Gold Bond Hand Sanitizer sample and my favorite, the 3 pack of Emergen-C Vitamin packs. Not bad for a slow mail week:)
Next up is my recap on my extra money makers for the week. A really busy week for me, likely because I have been home more to put in more efforts!
I'm very excited about this past week! Team that up with all the free products & savings and extra care bucks/RR I made with my CVS, Walgreens and grocery trips and I'd say it's definately been a Frugal Fabulous week!
Now I had better get to photographing items and listing on ebay or I won't have anything to report next week!! :)
The past few Mondays I have shared some of the ways I made extra money in 2009. From Ebay to Flea Market booths to Jewelry Assembly at home, I am constantly finding new ways to make money whether you work full time, part-time or are a SAHM ! In other words, I love to find ways to make those extra $$, but still manage a busy schedule!
Since I already shared my top money makers, I figured it was time to share some of the other ways that you can make money online. We've all heard of paid surveys, emails, etc. There are so many of them online now! It's very difficult to tell the difference from the ones that will actually send you a paycheck and those that only spam you with a million emails and "enter you" into a drawing or whatever... I've figured out that the best way to do this is to set up an email account specifically for this. (yahoo, gmail, etc.) That way your main inbox is not flooded with junk mail that can get overwhelming.
Once you sign up to a site, "skip" all the offers that they will bombard you with immediately. They, too, are making $ by your signups to those sites, as well. Stick to just the offers that come from the actual site you signed up with. Join the other sites on your own if you desire, later. I "pass" on offers that seem frivolous and wait for the ones that offer immediate payment/credit. One tip is to complete that sites "profile", which will get you surveys that are customized to your family size, lifestyle, age, etc. I recommend testing it out with one or two sites before you go join a ton of others. You'll learn by participating in the first ones what to do and not do, in order to get the genuine offers.
Most legitimate sites will require you to select a payment form option. I recommend you set up a Paypal Account to receive your payments. They are a reputable, long standing payment provider online and make it very easy to transfer your payments to your bank or to use them for online purchases, etc.
Once you've set up your new email and payment processor, you're ready to go!
Below are some of the most popular online money makers, that I personally DO make money with. Have fun & remember it's not a "get rich quick" scheme. It is, however, a nice way to earn some extra cash!
