1. Take surveys
Brands and markets do invite users of their products and services once in a while through Swagbucks site to fill out surveys about the products and services they are putting out. The range of the topics are wide from advertising to travel. Actually this is one of the main ways in which people earn Swag Bucks(SB).
You get to answer a certain set of questions according to your own views on the matter and after completing the survey you earn the amount of Swagbucks indicated on completion of the survey. Completing these surveys can take from 5 to 30 minutes.
You can earn from 5 to 250 Swagbucks depending on the type of survey, its urgency and even the length of the survey. Some surveys however, can earn you upto 2500 to 3500 Swagbucks. If one swagbuck equals 1 cent then that is around $25 to $35 if you get to qualify for such a high paying survey which are rare.
Sometimes however, you will not qualify for a survey despite spending several minutes answering prequalifying questions. This is because market researchers often looks for views from users who match specific demographics and so you didn’t qualify because your profile did not match whatever they were looking for. Swagbucks will however reward you with 1 or maybe 2 Swagbucks for attempting the survey.
2. Daily poll
Swagbucks have a daily poll in their website and app everyday in which they ask you various things simple things that you do in your life like; Do you like candy? Do you have a first aid kit? and such like stuff.
Options are provided and you pick one from them. This will usually take you about 1 second if not micro seconds and you earn 1 SB for it.
3. Shop

Another way of earning swagbucks even though the pay is not high, is to watch videos on the Swagbucks website. The content of the videos vary from advertisements to viral clips.
You can earn from 1 to 3 swagbucks per video. If you don’t like whatever is in the videos which I bet you will do, you can let them play in the background while you are doing your own stuff. Nobody is watching to make sure you are watching the videos by the way.

There are times certain times which Swagbucks gives a code which can consists of upper and lower case letters to its users for a very short period of time through their Swagbucks blog, twitter handle, Facebook or Instagram page.
The code can last from one to two hours. All you need to do is to watch out for these codes as you will earn extra swagbucks from them. To make sure you get notifications about the codes, follow Swagbucks on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and also pass by their blog from time to time.

8. Daily goals
Swagbucks has a list of tasks in their website that they expect you to complete. The tasks are grouped as daily, weekly and monthly. For example, Swagbucks may expect you to earn 30 Swagbucks in a certain day. So when you succeed to reach 30 points on that particular day you get to earn bonus points.
The goal is to cancel everything on your list. When you succeed to attain your daily goals you will have attained your weekly goal and hence you also earn bonus points at the end of the week. When you reach your daily goals for 30 days in a row you get your monthly bonus points. The weekly bonus points are always a lot same with the monthly points.

Swagbucks also offers another way of earning and that is through referral. All you need to do is to share your sign up link with your friends and family and get them to sign up. You can earn from 100 to 300 swagbucks after they sign up. The pay is huge as you can see. Besides that, you will also continually earn 10% of what your friend keeps on earning as long as they continue using Swagbucks.
Let’s say your friend earns 400 SB, 10% of 400 comes to 40. Which means you get 40 swagbucks for doing nothing. For me this is one of the coolest ways of earning swagbucks. So join and get your friends to join you while you earn.
10. Play games
If you like video games this might just be your chance of doing what you like most but here however, you get paid for it. Swagbucks has a wide range of games like the wheel of fortune, angry birds, Solitaire, Mahjong and Alu’s revenge just to mention a few.
