Doing small offers on discover will be the fastest way to earn points. RadiumOne, PeanutLabs and other walls have dozens of 1 sb offers, and each of these will be worth 20 points for the team challenge. Mobile discover offers are worth 25 points. Check out some of these too some of them have great payouts for not a ton of work. One option is  to check the sponsored videos section and there are multiple options, I start by clicking on the guy with a laptop. Normally this takes about 10 seperate clicks but only takes a minute or two and can be done while doing other things. It's worth 2 sb each time you complete it and can often be done 15+ times a day. If you see a girl in a tank top, always click on it, it'll be about 30 seconds, you must interact with the ad in some way, and it credits 2 sb each time. The others I do less often because they take more time and sometimes have issues crediting. 

One offer that can really help is the EngageMe.TV from AdscendMedia. Keep playing it, but you have to keep it in the tab you are on to have the videos play. Each time it credits it gives you a credit in discover. 

Do some watch when you get a chance playing it in the background. Check out my instructions for doing this the quickest way to make the most through watch on the computer. This includes watch, Toolbar Tv .  NCrave is  being counted as watch this time around, and is also excellent for general earning.  The 1 sb ones will be the quickest way to get points.

To get started on watch, look for the smallest playlists (6 videos or shorter). There is a good one under food that is 5 videos that is about pumpkins, it says 6, but it's really 5.

Some people will tell you differently, but doing the swagstakes is not worth it most of the time. The payout is guaranteed to leave some people losers, and you would be better off just saving your sbs for your next gift card. If you really want to though, it is worth points to your team, and if you don't think you can make it to 400 for the challenge, this could be a way to do it quickly.

If you want to boost your search wins I recommend following my instructions here to maximize your earnings there. For general earning check out my Advanced Guide to Swagbucks.

Visit any store from our Holiday Deals page and you'll contribute 10 points to your team! This is an excellent way to max out your points in a day. 

I encourage you to check the Swagbucks subreddit or the Swaggernaut Facebook group for more helpful hints! As always, feel free to check out the rest of my blog and all of the tips and tricks for earning money online!

A couple of other tips and nice paying offers that you'll see out there: Sign up for Shell rewards for 300 SB. When trying lifescript offers make sure to clear your cookies before trying, and work through them quickly. You can get a lot of them done if you do that. Still less than half of them will credit.
Good luck!

Advanced Tips For Earning With Swagbucks

If you're like me you have things to do, and are always trying to make the most out of your time online. I have found a way to earn a lot with minimal effort with Swagbucks. While for me I've been doing this while job hunting, this could easily be done while paying bills, watching Netflix, doing homework or just surfing the web.

I always try to make sure that I reach my first daily goal every day if possible, as this becomes an additional 600+ SB per month between the daily goals adding up and the monthly bonus for getting all 31 days. Don't worry too much because there are also bonuses for hitting smaller marks like 7, 14 or 21 days. By using the different tips I have in both of these guides you should easily make both goals every day.

The mobile apps are crucial to earning quickly and in the guide I outlined before there is great explanation on how to get the most out of the apps. I wanted to add another tip though. I bought a couple of cheap pre-paid phones from Kroger for $10, which allow me to run apps on them, including the Swagbucks TV apps, in order to earn money and not tie up my own personal Smartphone. You do not have to pay for a plan; just set it up on your home wifi and run the apps mentioned. A weekly published list of the best phones available can be found here. Just click on "cheapest devices of the week."

I mentioned NCrave and Watching videos before. I use 3 tabs at all times for Swagbucks, I recommend you mute them all, as it makes no difference to earnings. In the first tab I run watch. You only have to watch these videos until the check mark.(generally 40 seconds or so)

On the second tab I run NCrave which can be found under the watch tab. I recommend using Chrome for this. You will have to check back often, to advance it, but remember if you're moving away from the page, you can only do Ctrl+Tab(or Ctrl+Shift+Tab) to move away, and your mouse must be on the main part of the screen, otherwise the timer will not count down. Early in the year is a little tougher to get good amounts on these, but later in the year you will be able to get much higher amounts through Ncrave. This used to be easier and more automatic. Instead of always doing this, check under sponsored videos, I recommend the all you can eat and the guy with a laptop for 2 sb. Both can add up quickly.

The third thing I do is toolbar tv. You can technically play this from the Swagbutton, but I find it easier just to start from here. These playlists often require you to click on each new video, but sometimes will auto advance. 20 videos equals 3 SB. You only have to wait for the bar to advance to click on the next video.

Shop and earn. Swagbucks will pay you a percentage of what you spend on certain sites including Amazon, Ebay, JCPenney, Groupon, Living Social, Kohls, Walmart, and many other sites. Some sites, including Amazon, will limit the items the cashback will apply to.

Discover can be a big benefit in earning. This section includes hundreds offers from 1 SB to thousands. From my experience not all of these pay out. If you have issues I recommend you make sure you have proof (take a screenshot by using "printscreen" and saving the image) and contact support about these issues. Make sure you know the amount for the offer, and who it was through (popular ways to earn, Peanut labs, Radium One, etc.)

Surveys can be found in the Answer section. I try to finish at least one 50 SB survey every day if I can. These can be discouraging, though, as you can get disqualified or they can fill up quickly. If you run out of gold surveys you can always do more under Peanut Labs.

I love using the Swagbucks search engine to make money. I outlined how I make more in this guide.

Always be on the lookout for swag codes, they are posted almost daily, most can be found on Facebook.

I encourage you to check out the Facebook group that has over 20,000 members and the subreddit for Swagbucks to get extra help. Offers that credit are posted there on a daily basis.

Time sensitive tips:

Check out this guide to other offers you can complete quickly.

You can have multiple people in the same household with accounts on Swagbucks. Me and my wife have accounts, and I use one of the phones for my apps, and she uses one for hers. It is against their terms of service to have more than one account per person, so don't even try it.

There are always events going on, check their blog for the most recent events

Just remember to not get discouraged and if you are feeling burned out to take a break! I hope these tips help you in making a little extra money with Swagbucks.
