HOW TO MAKE PASSIVE

MONEY USING SWAGBUCKS BY /u/Garwald

Swagbucks Guide 2016. Accurate as of January 3, 2017.

I will be giving a detailed guide, of the popular earning site Swagbucks.

This will be for the newbies who want to join in on the free giftcards, and for
the veterans who are looking to maximize their earnings with minimal effort.
Swagbucks points are called "SB" and will be used throughout the guide. As an
example: 500 SB gets you a $5 giftcard.

I try to keep this as up-to-date as possible. If you notice something isn't,

please let me know.

First, here is proof: http://imgur.com/a/VALpU

Sign up Promotion(s)

Sign up with this referral link to receive up to 500 SB ($5) in bonuses by doing
the following:

If you spend at least $25 in Shop & Earn and receive your shopping SB
before May 1st, you will earn an additional 200 SB bonus.

2.Just signing up will give you 4 SB. Now complete your profile, learn how you
earn and Discover your rewards. That will give you 32 SB. This part is pretty

the apps) you will get bonus SB and it will count towards your Winning

TIPS

1) watch videos from all 6 smartphone apps (60 SB)

2) daily poll, daily search, etc. search until you get at least one prize every hour
you can. default them as your search engine, and bookmark the search pages.
(6-15 SB average)
3) surveys. Look for anything that earns you an average 5 SB/minute minimum.
The times are a little off, but they're never too far off. If you're going to lie on
the surveys, at least write down what you lie so you can consistently lie.
(anywhere from 50-100 SB are worth it.
4) Swagbutton watch section. 10 videos = 3 SB. getting through the fashion
section alone is worth it. (~15 SB) (you can earn a max 300 SB from this if you
really have the patience. You don't need to sit through the entire video each
time. just maybe at the 1 minute mark. once you see the % bar go up you can
move to the next video.)
5) Easy offers. look on r/swagbucks regularely. in fact, swag search r/swagbucks
as the first thing you do. everyone shares the easy, quick, profitable offers.
Alternatively, using the "Use an Android/Iphone app today!" offer can net you 25
SB easy when you need it.
6) Hit your daily goal EVERY DAY This is a free 300 SB per month, not counting
all the SB you earn from the bonus for hitting it every day. $3 for hitting a fairly
easy goal? Yes please.

This should net you about $1.20 per day easily, even if you skip the surveys. After all
the bonuses, you'll get about 1.50 a day. There are people that make over $5 a day, so
make that your endgame goal.
