As a stay-at-home mom, I try to compensate for the fact that I don’t (significantly) add to our family’s income as much as when I was still working. I’m pretty sure a lot of you out there are curious to know how people make money on the internet. Aside from blogging, here’s how I earn a little extra on the side.
I search the internet.
Yup! You got that right. I search the internet using Swagbucks. If you haven’t heard of Swagbucks yet, you’re missing out on an awesome way to earn gift cards online!

Here’s a time I earned 50 Swagbucks for just one search 2 years ago. 🙂
Swagbucks lets you earn points for doing things you’re already doing online such as searching the internet, completing offers, answering polls, and watching videos. You can then use those points to redeem gift cards to Amazon, Walmart, Paypal, CVS, Lowe’s, Best Buy and so many other online retailers!
I get so excited every time I reach about 450 points because that means I can earn another $5 Amazon GC (I’m an Amazon addict!). Right now, I have 369 points — all earned by searching. I have actually made Swagbucks the default search engine on my browser so that anytime I need to check something, I just type the key words onto my address bar and Chrome reveals the search results from Swagbucks!
Online loyalty programs are a great way to earn some gift cards on the side so you can save up for the stuff you want! Sign up now!
