Mini-Bluprint: 100 SB a Day

Here's a  post, a mini-blueprint for how to gain 100 SB a day over at Swagbucks.

First off - you grabbed the Swagbucks apps, right?

If you don't have a Swagbucks account, get one using the link below:

Join Swagbucks

After you confirm your account and have your login details working properly, sign in to your Swagbucks account, use the left-hand side bar navigation, scroll down quite far to get to the Mobile Apps link. Go get the Swagbucks TV app. Play vids on the app and head to the Swagbucks site for site activities if you're comfortable enough to manage the app directly after install.

BE SURE TO USE YOUR ORIGINAL SWAGBUCKS SITE LOGIN DETAILS FOR THE APP(s)!

Now here's how to gain 100 SB a day using a combination of Swagbucks site activities and the Swagbucks mobile apps:

Log in on the Swagbucks site.

Find the DAILY POLL and the DAILY OFFERS (NOSO) - do them both. They should each take less than a minute.

Daily Poll - 1SB
Daily Offers - 1 SB

Then go to PLAY and do Swagasaurus Run. It's a side-scroller game. You may have to play 10-20 rounds until you gain the maximum SB allowed for the game - however, it usually takes me less than 5 minutes (frankly, I'm not that great at side-scroller games). If you can figure out the other two games and like those, do those. (I am worse at the other games than at Swagasaurus Run... hanging my head in shame).

Swagasaurus Run - 10 SB

Go back to main Swagbucks menu and select "Answer." You'll be taken to the surveys. The page should display GOLD Surveys first... it is possible that if a good survey is available and you qualify, finishing the survey to the end, you'll have 100 SB. Some GOLD surveys are worth more than 150 SB!!!

If you do not qualify for Gold surveys, click down to "Partner" surveys and try those... again, you may complete your goal to gain 100SB this day if the Partner survey(s) work out.

If those do not gain you enough SB, move on to the Peanut Labs surveys

*NOTE: If you are NOT qualifying, you should still be gaining 1SB per survey started but not completed, so you should have quite a few SB by now!

If you are still short your 100 SB at this point, go back to Swagbucks main page/menu and this time, click "Discover."

Discover section will be Featured Offers and Partner's offers - mainly offer walls.

There are often click-through articles worth 2-12SB in the Discover offer walls. These are articles where you have to read and click past at least 10 pages, then do a captcha properly on the last page. After completing the captcha, SB will be sent to your SB balance.

Now, you may have had an unlucky time on the site but should be at least half-way to gaining 100SB. If you already gained 100SB (easily possible but not always written in stone), and if so, any points made via SB apps today will be a nice addition to your Swagbucks SB/points balance!

If you're still trying to reach 100SB, the Swagbucks apps should get you there! If you didn't grab the additional apps, now is the time!

SB TV app = 10SB max
LifeStylez app = 10SB max
Movieclips app = 10SB max
EntertaiNow app = 10SB max
Sportly TV app = 10SB max
IndyMusic app = 10SB max

So really

Swag apps = 60SB
Swag game = 10 SB
Daily Poll = 1 SB
Daily Offers = 1SB

Really, you're only needing to gain less than 30 SB via any other activities on Swagbucks site.

*Note: if you gain 90 SB, the points system will automatically give you bonus SB, too - 9SB for reaching 90 SB through site and app activities.

Something I almost forgot - Swagbucks Search! From the main menu, find "Search" and use the Swagbucks search window to gain SB. Do legitimate searches. The SB rewards vary greatly for searches - anyway from 6 - 50 SB, sometimes a bit more if Swagbucks is running an extra special promotion involving the search feature.

If, for some reason, you're still not at 100SB, get to the main menu and click on "Watch." Just watch some videos 'til the SB accumulate. Some play lists on the video/watch pages have more videos than others, but Swagbucks shows the details, per list.

Actually, I'm impressed with how many videos Swagbucks has now! I grabbed a couple good recipes from the Food and Cooking play lists and enjoy many of the vids.

Good luck gaining 100 SB per day - try to keep it up for at least 7 days. There is an additional bonus at 7 (25SB extra), 14 (100SB extra), 21 (200SB extra), and 30 days (300 SB extra).

When in doubt - and when short on SB:  Watch videos - you'll get there!

After half a year of testing

I have not posted regularly since Summer 2015 but I am going to keep my apology short and just explain that I decided to fall off on the posting because I really needed to give some phone apps a good test run before posting more about any of them.

Since the fall months, as I tried to promote a few app programs, I found that most people above the age of 24 or 25 were not only not interested - they also really had a mistrust (dislike?) of making money from phone apps! Almost everyone - including my real life physical friends - thinks there is no way in hell I can be making money via any kind of phone apps.

Well, at the half-year mark of testing (spring to fall), I had a good, thorough look at what was making me money and what was not making money.  Phone app funds started looking pretty good and in November and December, when I gained some reward conversions and cashouts, the contest on what kind of activities were most lucrative to earn from became really clear. Marketing or apps? 

The winner is...

PHONE APPS made me the most money in 2015, hands down! And - I couldn't even begin to start collecting any funds from phone apps until I collected credits, points, rewards, etc., for several months. Basically since the fall, apps have brought in more funds than all other marketing and money-making methods combined.

Now the big trick will be in how I approach training referrals... 

Teens and young adults who really "get" phone apps and use them more comfortably than 30-somethings and up - well, these young ones seem to like their phones and computer tablets so darn much that they don't really want to get online and use a computer to learn marketing basics.

By contrast...

People already involved in marketing just don't believe phone apps are here to stay and won't integrate money making phone apps programs into their array of money makers. (*ahem* if any of those people are reading... these phone apps have been out for several years already and they just keep getting more plentiful in number, more sophisticated in nature - hello - did you know I get paid for the swipe phone lock that keeps a person from butt-dialing on their cell phone?).

I'll spend a few months in 2016 trying to figure out if there is any way to mesh phone app money and standard (TEs, PTCs, affiliate programs, downline builders, email marketing, safelists, etc) marketing online together and while I do that, the great thing is - my phones will continue to allow me to bring in almost passive income!

Basically all the income earned from apps has been earned without any referrals, anyway, so after my time in 2015 of testing apps, I have a good idea on how much a person will earn based solely on the activity and engagement of 1 person. If I happen to gain some referrals along the way, it will just be a big bonus.

For regular marketing activities in 2014 and early 2015 (and the years prior), I mostly had to figure out how on earth to afford the cost of online marketing tools - like autoresponder, web domain, web hosting, a few upgraded money-maker program accounts. Often, I was sending $40 or $50 from my bank account to an online processor to make payments for my marketing tools. 

THAT ALL STOPPED in the fall months of 2015! I have not transfered any money from my own pocket or bank account to pay for any online activities in many, many months!
I have purchased more tools, upgraded accounts, and rev-share earning shares late in 2015 that I never had the kind of funds for prior to this phone app testing and use!

Let 2016 roll on, 'cos I am feeling super positive that I will have a more financially stable year - for the first time in, well - since I was a kid under the care of parents.
