My first blog entry! Highlighting Swagbucks.com

Hi everyone! I have decided to start a blog that highlights some of my personal frugal finds! If you have any ideas/comments/suggestions, feel free to email me.

I will start off today by discussing my experience on Swagbucks. Swagbucks is a search and win site. In just two months I have earned enough Swagbucks to receive a t-shirt, $75 in Amazon gift cards, and $15 in PayPal cash!

Here are some tips:

First and foremost, you must sign up for Swagbucks. Use this link: www.swagbucks.com/refer/nicolema83

*Set Swagbucks.com as your default browser. That way, anytime you need/want to do a search you are already there and can win for doing things you normally do. You will not win EVERY time. If you do a lot of searching on the net, you may still need to use other search engines because if you "oversearch" too often, your account can be deactivated.
*Swagcodes. These are gifts from TSG (The Swag Guy). They can be found in various places, such as the Swagbucks blog, facebook page, twitter, and more. When you find a code, enter it exactly (case sensitive) into the box on the homepage and then hit "gimme." All codes have an expiration time. I have seen codes anywhere from 5 to 22 Swagbucks! Every little bit adds up.
*Install the Swagbucks Toolbar. Occasionally, there will be codes posted by TSG in the "From TSG" area of the toolbar.
*Grab a Swidget. You can find this on the Swagbucks page. Click on "promote" and then "swidget." The Swidget will give you hints on where a code can be located, as well as sometimes codes will be posted there.
*Read the Swagbucks blog. Not only is it informative, but sometimes codes are posted there as well.

Other Ways to Win Swagbucks (other than searches):
*Submit a Poll Idea. There are new polls posted every Monday. If your poll question is chosen, you will be rewarded with Swagbucks.
*Tuesday Twitter Phrase That Pays. Every Tuesday, TSG announces a phrase that you use in a tweet. You can win up to 500 Swagbucks if your tweet is chosen. You can also submit TTPTP suggestion to TSG (theswagguy@swagbucks.com)
*30 Minute Random Winner. On the main page, they announce the 30 minute random winner, who wins 100 Swagbucks if they click on the banner when it shows their name.
*Daily. You receive daily Swagbucks for logging on to the toolbar, as well as going through No Obligation Special Offers (NOSOs). You can click skip for the ones that don't interest you, and fill out the information for the ones that do.

If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me! Start winning today!!!
