Earn On The SideCash In Your Spare Time

Just as I promised, I have a special code for anyone who hasn’t signed up for Swagbucks yet and wants to get a good start earning lots of great prizes!

Swagbucks is one of my favorite part time money makers.  It is basically just search engine that you can use instead of Yahoo or Google.  The difference is that occasionally throughout the day, you will be awarded with a SWAGBUCK.  You can trade your Swagbucks in for everything from Amazon Gift Certificates (My Favorite – 45 Swagbucks), to autographed merchandise from celelbrities or athletes, or even electronics like a television.

The best part about Swagbucks is their amazing referral program.  You basically earn exactly what your referalls earn for their first 100 Swagbucks.  Just a few active referrals can quickly start to earn you some great prizes!  I’ve earned hundreds of dollars in prizes from Swagbucks!

Basic Tips for Winning SWAGBUCKS

• Use Swagbucks to Vist your Favorite Sites – Instead of going to your bookmarks or typing in the address of your favorite site, why not go through Swagbucks?  It takes about 2 seconds longer and will help you win more.
• Don’t Oversearch - Swagbucks will only let you win about 3-4 times a day, and will very rarely let you win twice in the same hour.  According to the Swagbucks website, only your first 20 searches give you a chance to win, after that you are just wasting your time. While I do feel like I may have won after my 20th search, I do know that constantly searching over and over again will not help you win more.
• You Can Almost Always Win at Least Once a Day - I don’t remember the last time I didn’t win at least one Swagbuck in a day, and it usually happens within the first 5 searches. Additional wins are very possible, but get more and more unlikely as you continue to win. The most I have won in a single day is 4 times.
• Sign Up Your Friends and Family! – This is the easiest way to win lots of Swagbucks. You may only win 1-5 Swagbucks a day by yourself, but with just 5 friends earning on average 2 Swagbucks a day you would earn 360 Swagbucks a month! Just think of what you could do with 50 friends signed up! I am currently earning about 25 Swagbucks a day!
• Set Swagbucks as a Default Search Engine or Homepage - The less you have to think about using it the more likely you will win!

If you haven’t signed up for Swagbucks yet, I don’t know what you are waiting for!

In case you don’t know, Swagbucks is a search engine that rewards you for searching the internet.

Using Swagbucks is easy, you simply sign up, and the next time you need to search for something on the web, instead of going to Google, you go to Swagbucks and use their search engine. About once or twice a day you will randomly win between 1-100 Swagbucks. Accumulate enough Swagbucks, and you can trade them in for great prizes or gift certificates. My favorite is Amazon Gift Certificates, which only cost 45 Swagbucks for a 5 Dollar gift card.

Swagbucks has a great referral program that can really quickly increase your winnings.  In the last year I have won hundreds of dollars worth of Prizes and Gift Cards from Swagbucks.

Normally when you sign up for Swagbucks you automatically get 3 Swagbucks to start off.  However, this Friday I will post a special code that will give you an additional 2 swagbucks just for signing up! The code is only good for 24 hours, so make sure you stop by on Friday, sign up for Swagbucks and get your extra Swagbucks!

Plaza Research is a company that conducts research studies for various companies in the United States.  I have been doing focus groups for Plaza Research for several years now, and in fact they were the first research company I ever did anything for.

If you live in Metro New York, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Metro Philadelpia, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, Ft. Lauderdale, Phoenix, Tampa, San Diego or Las Vegas you can sign up for the Plaza Research mailing list which will keep you informed all upcoming opportunities.

Emails come about once or twice a month and list all open focus groups as well as the types of people they are looking for and how much it pays.  Research studies typically pay $50-$200 for a two hour session and you can do one every 6 months.

Signing up is easy, simply head over to http://www.iopinion.com/ to subscribe to the mailing list.

*The one tip I would give to increase your chances of getting picked for a study is to call and not email when you find a study you want to be in. The times I have called I have almost always been selected, whereas when I just send the email with my information it has been only about 10%.
