3 Easy Ways to Get SwagBucks Referrals from Blogging

A few weeks ago I shared five methods I've used to get SwagBucks referrals without blogging. (If you missed that post, you can read it here.) The response from readers was fantastic. Thank you so much for your comments and emails! Several readers that have blogs contacted me inquiring about creative ways to earn SwagBucks referals through blogging. In response to those questions, I'm sharing what works for me.


3 Easy Ways to Get SwagBucks Referrals From Blogging


1. At the bottom of your most popular posts add a little blurb about SwagBucks and include your referral link. You can find your most popular posts by checking your website stats.

On this site, the most popular posts are recipes for leftover ham and turkey. Over the course of a year these recipe pages are viewed several thousand times. (You can see an example of one of these posts with the SwagBucks blurb here).

It's a given that most people that come to my recipe pages are looking for a recipe and not for a new search engine. But, it never hurts to put the information out there on a really well traffic-ed page. The more people that see it, the better chance for someone to sign up.

2. Add a SwagBucks promo button to your blog. You can check out all the SwagBucks buttons and banners here.

Let me be the first to say that as much as I like the SwagBucks people, they need some serious help to design SwagBucks buttons for the women centered - mom blogger crowd. Most of their buttons are geared for a much younger, male set which helps stear away a very large group of potential SwagBucks users. So log into their site and pick the least obnoxious button or banner and put it on your site.

3. Show & Tell people the great prizes you've won from SwagBucks.

Do you remember how much you loved Show & Tell day while in grade school? Welcome to the grown up version! Just remember, it's not nice to show and tell with a bragging attitude. I love to show and tell others about the great financial benefits of using SwagBucks for a few reasons:

• I'm so excited to get prizes and I want to let the whole world know how thrilled I am. Hey, that's just how I am.

• I like to let people know how I did it and share any tips and tricks I've learned in an effort to encourage others.

• I feel so very honored to be able to bless my husband and family members with things I would not normally be able to afford. The best part of winning prizes is sharing them with others! One of my sisters recently gave birth to her first baby --another beautiful little nephew for me! Unfortunately she lives very far away (sniff, sniff) and the only way all of us up here in Michigan will be able to see our newest family member is via pictures. My sister was beside herself because she doesn't have a digital camera and cannot afford one at this time. I was deliriously happy to send her this camera courtesy of SwagBucks. Doing something special for someone else brings so much more happiness than keeping the prizes all to myself.
