87,678 Swagbucks and an Update

Have you been wondering where I went? I am so sorry. In 2011 I started an eBay business and forgot all about blogging and using the websites I used to for making money. Last year eBay changed their selling policies again and made it impossible for me to make any money. I started doing Swagbucks again and some other websites like it. Now here I am in 2014 and in my Swagbucks lifetime I've made 87,678 swag bucks, which is $876 dollars (or even more if you get the cheaper Amazon gift cards).

My husband and I are still in debt so I've been just getting the paypal gift cards so I can get cash. All the money I make goes straight to medical bills and I'm pretty excited to be able to say that I am down to just $100 of medical debt. Yay!

Now my friends and family members are doing Swagbucks too and we've helped each other learn the best ways to make money with Swagbucks. I hope to be able to share some of my experience here to hopefully make it easier for other people too. When you first sign up it's kind of overwhelming and I was discouraged thinking it would take forever to make any money. Later on I am planning to give tips for how I earn but right now I have to go help out at my son's school. If you do decide to sign up I would love it if you sign up with my referral link:

www.swagbucks.com/refer/surveymama2010

 As you are signing up click the link that says "I have a sign up code" and enter SWAG14 and you will get an extra 70 swag bucks. You have to put the code in before you click "Join" to get them. I circled it in the picture below.

Good luck and thank you so much if you decide to sign up. :)

My top 10 survey websites & ways to make money from home

I thought I would make a big list of my favorite survey and other websites where I have made money from home. *work in progress

This is a list of the ways I have made money online in the past 3 years. I know that they are not scams because they have actually paid me:

1. ChaCha Earn money finding the answers to customers questions at home from your computer. No set hours, just log in when you want to answer questions. I have earned the most money answering questions for ChaCha, probably about $3000 in the last 3 years.
2. Toluna Earn points for taking surveys, testing products and voting on polls. Trade in points for cash or other rewards. 60,000 points gets you $20. They have actually paid me $20 & another $20 is on it's way in the mail. I also have 28,000 points. I think it will be easy to make $20 every month with Toluna.
3. SurveySavvy Earn money for taking surveys and testing products. This is one survey panel that I joined 3 years ago. I was paid $1 back then. You can refer friends and get matching rewards.

This list is the survey panels or other things that I am currently trying but have not actually gotten paid from yet:

1. Mindfield Online I've heard that they send out a lot of products to test and high paying surveys. You can cashout when you have $5. I have $7 pending approval with them. They pay with either a check or Paypal.
2. Instant Cash Sweepstakes Take easy 3 question surveys and win cash, sweepstakes tickets, and coins that can buy more tickets in the sweepstakes. Earn matching prizes from referrals. They will pay you via Paypal once you have $2. I have $1.53 so far.
3. Cash Crate Make money by completing offers and taking surveys. They give you $1 just for joining & you can cash out at $20. Some of my offers are pending, once they are credited I will have $20 and will get paid.
4. Swag Bucks Earn Swag Bucks for searching the web, taking surveys, shopping in their Shop & Earn Mall, voting in polls, sending in prize photos & videos, watching videos, inviting friends to join, completing special offers, finding swag codes, & trading in cell phones & video games. You get 30 Swag Bucks just for joining!
5. Surveyhead  Earn money for taking surveys. You get a $5 bonus for signing up & you can cash out when you have $10. I will soon get paid because I have $10 pending.

SurveySavvy is unique from other online panels because of its patented referral program that gives you incentives for every survey your referrals complete and additional incentives for every survey their referrals complete.

MindField Online

You've probably noticed that I've been trying out a lot of survey panels. One of them is MindField. I have heard that they send out a lot of products to test & high paying surveys but I have not received any yet. I will be updating on all of my survey panels & letting you know if they actually ever pay me. Want to try out MindField with me? Go to http://mindfieldonline.com/referral/462c3acb

Thanks for the free tacos Jack in the Box!

Jack in the Box had free tacos yesterday. They were giving 2 free tacos to anyone who came in after 2 pm. I took the kids in and we got 8 free tacos (we got 2 for the baby even though she can't eat tacos yet!) We didn't even need a coupon and there was no charge for tax or the 4 waters we also ordered. The tacos were pretty good but the kids did not like the hot sauce on them. We heard about it by watching a funny Jack in the Box commercial on Youtube. You can see it here.

Print Coupons with Swag Bucks!

Mandi has talked me into joining Swag Bucks. I was going to wait until they gave out a code for new users that would give me extra points, but I didn't want to wait anymore. I was losing out on all the Swag Codes they were giving out just to earn maybe an extra 20 Swag Bucks. So far I think it is great. I search the internet a lot anyway so why not earn Swag Bucks at the same time.

You can earn Swag Bucks for searching the web, taking surveys, shopping in their Shop & Earn Mall, voting in polls, sending in prize photos & videos, watching videos, inviting friends to join, completing special offers, finding swag codes, trading in cell phones and video games.

They have a lot of great prizes that you can trade in your swag bucks for. I am going to try to get an Amazon.com gift card.

There is also one REALLY cool thing about Swag Bucks: I can print coupons from Swag Bucks and each time I use one in the grocery store I earn 10 Swag Bucks. I was already printing and using them anyway! So it's awesome that I will be getting even more out of my coupons.
