If you have ever come across a site like Swagbucks you must have wondered how that site actually earns money. Since the name kept on appearing quite often, I decided to dig further as to what exactly is keeping people from making money from it. If you just started learning about it or are interested in expanding your knowledge, you’ve come to the right place!
What is Swagbucks?
Swagbucks started in 2008, it was created to help companies advertise with a search engine to make a profit since users of the platform are being paid digital currency to use the search engine. It has gradually festered into one of the best-marketed platforms that earns more than $50 million every year. Currently, Swagbucks has many methods through which a user can earn Swagbucks including web search, taking a survey, shopping, and games among others.
How Does Swagbucks Work?
Swagbucks offers its users points known as SB that they earn when they undertake certain tasks in the site. The activities include:
- Search engine optimization: Use Swagbucks as your everyday search engine to help change your daily routine while earning points.
- Surveys – Take paid surveys for points usually in more than 10 minutes.
- Games – Play games and get paid with SB.
- Shopping – Earn good cash by shopping at the retailers that are affiliated with the program.
The points that you earn may not be enough to let you give up your day job yet but you will be loaded with fun, easy-to-learn points.
Earnings Breakdown
Currently, 450 SB will get you a $5 Amazon gift card meaning every SB is equivalent to about a penny. They usually pay out anything between 1 and 15 SB with most of them being games and surveys. This may not sound like a lot, but constant actions begin to matter, and the user earns from $1 per hour at the minimum and not more than $3 per hour.
How Does Swagbucks Make Money?
Making money is often a top priority when it comes to running any business, and so it is for Swagbucks. Perhaps you are wondering how Swagbucks can pay people who use it without it going out of business. Here’s how it works: consumers get paid by Swagbucks to click on the ads and the companies compensate Swagbucks so that they can display their ads on the platform. Consequently, Swagbucks passes back a portion of that payment to the users as an incentive to use the site. The more consumers there are, the more the companies are willing to pay to have their products promoted hence the cycle.
How to get started with Starbucks?
If you’re willing to make money, it is easy. For instance, you only have to create an account to qualify for the free SB to be earned through their search engine, taking surveys, or even playing games. The people who are more active and the ones who are generating more traffic get higher-paying offers and, of course, cash out your SB in gift certificates to the stores you like.
