Are you "swagbucking" yet? Swagbucks are the "digital dollar" of the internet; once you've earned enough swagbucks, you trade them in for various prizes, including books, collectibles, and gift cards. I'm planning on using my swagbucks to get some gift cards to Amazon.com to purchase Christmas gifts...and maybe a little something for myself, too (can we say new tea kettle from KitchenAid?!?). So how do you earn these swagbucks, you ask? By doing things you already do- searching the web, shopping online, and trading in old cell phones and video games. You also earn by referring friends; once they join under your referral, you earn one swagbuck for every swagbuck they earn (up to 100 swagbucks per friend). The two easiest ways are to simply use www.swagbucks.com as your search engine and shop online at your favorite stores by going through swagbucks.com first. It's as simple as that, and it's all free! I'm not usually one to spring for things like this, but once several trustworthy and level-headed friends gave their approval, I signed up and have been swagbucking ever since. I joined sometime in April, and I'm about to trade in my swagbucks for $20.00 to Amazon.com- whoot whoot! Click on the link below to learn more and to sign up and start earning today!
Heard of YouData? This is another new adventure I'm experiencing. You basically create a profile (called a MeFile) by answering some pretty simple questions. You don't ever give them your name, address, or telephone number; once your MeFile is complete, advertisers will pay you to simply click on their websites. You're basically getting paid for you attention. I've never clicked on a website that looks shady, and I always delete my cookies anyway (YouData also recommends you do this as well). The money is deposited into your PayPal account, and each time you earn money by clicking on a website, a happy little "Ding!" sounds. Seriously, it's a very happy little ding! I just started YouData last week and I'm not anticipating making too much money by participating, but a few extra bucks in my PayPal account every week certainly helps out! YouData also has a referral program, allowing you to earn extra money when your referred friends become members of YouData. Click here to learn more about YouData and to start getting some extra money for that PayPal account.
What about you? Do you participate in other similar programs that allow you to save and/or earn money? I'd love to hear about them, or even other practical advice about cutting costs, especially since Isaac is going back to school very soon!
