Swagbucks Referral Program Review: [NOT For Wussies!]

Congratulations for landing on my review of the Swagbucks referral program!

YES, making money from “referring” others and not in the traditional sense of partaking in low-paid tasks.

So if you’re not a wussy or a snowflake – BUT someone who’s open-minded about a MUCH better way to earn from this ‘GPT’ opportunity…

Then I invite you to come take a walk with me…

At a Quick Glance

---

 
Name: Swagbucks (SB).

Owner: Prodege, LLC.

Website: swagbucks.com.

Cost: Free.

My Score: 8/10.

The PROS & CONS from a Swagbucks affiliate program standpoint:

PROS

• $0 to join
• 10% lifetime earnings from your referrals (no maximum limit)
• BONUS SB also awarded
• Redeem your points for PayPal money or gift cards
• Help & support available
• Good money-making potential (following the guidance in this article)
• SB is one of the best & trusted GPT sites

CONS

• Not every referral will take action (such as life, I guess)
• Some categories don’t count towards your 10% earnings
• Takes a while (in terms of months) to see decent results

Summary:

In a nutshell; Swagbucks is designed to reward you with cash or gift cards for completing online tasks over a period of time.

But this is no typical “run-of-the-mill” review because my aim is to provide you with the tools you need to go from making a pittance…

To potentially earning a full-time living as an “affiliate” of SB – which is a much more powerful way of making money.

Because instead of referring a handful of peeps you know, I’m gonna help you stand on the other side of the fence by recruiting folks around the world.

But make no mistake, you will be required to learn new skills and work your ass off for that to happen.

So it’s no teddy bear’s picnic, I assure you.

This is why it’s not gonna be everyone’s cuppa.

Final Verdict: Legit – Recommended.

But before we get in to the nitty-gritty of the SB referral program…

 

What The Heck is Swagbucks & How Does it Work?

---

Swagbucks is a Get-Paid-To (GPT) task-based platform that pretty much works the same way as a “JOB” (Just Over Broke):

You trade your time for money.

Except, with SB, you’ll do small fun tasks like watching videos, searching the internet, offering your opinions, and even shopping online.

Basically, you’ll turn a buck from the stuff you already do online on a day-to-day basis.

 

“But How Much Can I Make?”, I Hear You Ask…

---

Good question!

I’m not gonna go into great detail, but:

Starting with watching videos in various categories, there’s the opportunity to roughly make $5 per day.

When it comes to surveys, you can make anywhere from $0.05 – $2.50 per survey (even $25 – $35 in some cases according to SB).

But those two said tasks alone can take a large chunk of time out of your day.

And as for shopping, there are different amounts of cashback to be earned from your product purchases via SB’s partners.

This can also apply to any special offers you sign up for.

So unfortunately, you must spend money to make money with the latter options.

But rather than earning cash, you’ll be rewarded with ‘SB’ points for every task you do.

For example:
 

 
Once you’ve accumulated enough SB, you can redeem it for different PayPal cash amounts and even Amazon gift cards, etc.

But you’re not here to exchange your time for “pocket money” – the same level of loose change a 10-year old makes, right?

Because you wanna make some ==> REAL <== money from SB, right?…

 

Say Hello to The Swagbucks Referral Program!

---

In my experience, the absolute best way to make money with these types of ‘GPT’ opportunities is to “recruit” others.

So with the Swagbucks referral program, you’ll have your very own unique affiliate link to promote to others in your circle.
 

 
When a person accepts your invite to participate, you won’t just be rewarded with a ‘300 SB Bonus‘ when they earn their first 300 SB in 30 days…

But you’ll also receive 10% lifetime earnings from their future efforts and SB earnings, baby!

HOWEVER, SB encourages you to invite family and friends using the invite system and/or blast your link all over Facebook & Twitter.
 

 
Inviting your Uncle Jack and Auntie Mabel, your best friend Suzie, next door’s cat, and others is all fine and dandy.

BUT fook that idea for a game of soldiers!

Because how many of those people join SB?

10, 15, 20?…

And out of those peeps, how many are “action-takers” – participating in SB tasks and spending cash online, huh?

3, 5, 10?…

I think it’s safe to assume that you’re not gonna be raking in the dough, right?

So what’s the solution to potentially skyrocketing your SB earnings?

(SPOILER: It’s called Affiliate Marketing).

 

“WTF is Affiliate Marketing”, You Ask?

---

Well, it’s the same concept as the Swagbucks referral program.

Where you send someone to your “link” and you earn a “commission” when they buy whatever product it is you promote.

Except, with SB, you’ll earn off of the efforts (+ shopping habits) of your referrals instead.

BUT HOW you go about sending folks to your SB referral link makes all the difference between earning pocket change and a real income.

So enough of my rambling, here are the 4 steps to turning SB into a full-time internet business for yourself:
 

 
Put simply, someone performs a Google search for let’s say “Swagbucks review”.

Your website then pops up in Google, they click, read your post, join SB…

And BOOM, you start collecting SB points as soon as they start partaking in tasks.

For example purposes, imagine if 3 – 5 people joined SB through your website each DAY (7 days a week)…

That’s 1,095 – 1,825 referrals per YEAR!

Can you say AMAZEBALLS!

But obviously, you’ll first need to build a free website (it’s as easy as pie) and do a bunch of other “stuff” – which leads me to…

 

How to Crush it With The Swagbucks Referral Program in 3 Steps

---

Well, first and foremost, you’ll join Swagbucks for free <== (affiliate link disclaimer) to get acquainted with the tasks.

And to also grab your referral link to promote SB for $.

Step #2: Get free starter access to Wealthy Affiliate (WA) – an “all in one” affiliate marketing platform.

Inside WA, you’ll get your first 10 lessons and even a taste of help & support from the community for $0:

That will help you choose a niche and use WA’s free SiteRubix tool to build and set up your very first WordPress blog.

As a ‘Premium’ member, you’ll unlock FULL access to everything inside WA in terms of:

• Numerous tools & services to go hand-in-hand with your website
• Advanced step-by-step training for ranking your site in Google, Bing & Yahoo for free “targeted” traffic
• 24/7 support from a community of 2-million affiliate marketers!

But since your niche will be the ‘make money online/GPT opportunity’ one:

Then might I suggest you follow WA’s Affiliate Bootcamp training once you’re on the inside of WA.
 

 
Because Kyle (the co-founder) will show you EXACTLY the type of blog post content to write to generate targeted traffic to SB.

Step #3: This is where other aspects come into play like working on your mindset, being a grafter, and giving your Biz time to blossom.

Because earning a full-time income on the internet is no “get-rich-quick” process, I’m afraid.

So you’ll really need to make a commitment for a good 12 months or so before seeing any decent returns from SB.

 

How Much $ Will The Swagbucks Referral Program Produce?

---

In all honesty, that’s like asking about the length of a piece of string because there are variables making it impossible to predict an income.

First of all, it depends on how much time and effort you invest in your website.

To see good results, I recommend that you invest at least 10 – 20 hours per week.

Secondly, the quality of your work is also a factor.

So it’s recommended that you write at least 1,200 – 1,500 word articles/reviews on your website.

Thirdly, it also boils down to the types of reviews you write and whether they actually produce enough traffic.

(This is why WA Premium membership also gives you access to Jaaxy – a tool for finding the right keywords).

But for example purposes, let’s aim big and say that your blog has generated 10,000 SB referrals over a 12-month period…

1,000 of them take action and each earn $10 per month = $10,000/month…

And you earn a 10% cut of that = $1,000 per month!

In fact, why not just shoot for the moon?

IF you’re willing to work like a trooper and solely focus on driving blog traffic to your SB referral link, a full-time income is doable.

And that, my friend, is the power of affiliate marketing.

 

Final Conclusion on The Swagbucks Referral Program…

---

If you just wanna earn some “fun money” from doing tasks and referring a handful of friends/family to Swagbucks, then be my guest.

But why earn 10% from a small number of folks…

When you can potentially earn 10% from 1,000s of SB members around the globe, huh?

IF you’re prepared to start and grow an online Biz for 12+ months, you can earn a passive income from the Swagbucks affiliate program.

Also, an income that will change your life. So it’s a no-brainer really.

But the ball’s in your court, at the end of the day.
