My First Giveaway!!!

Search & Win

I have been wanting to do this for a while, and the time has come (drum roll, please)…my FIRST GIVEAWAY!!!

If you haven’t gotten on the Swagbucks bandwagon, today is the day! I am giving away a $5 Amazon gift card on Friday to one lucky winner.

A little about Swagbucks - Swagbucks.com is a search engine similar to Google or Yahoo….except it “pays” you to search the internet. When you do your internet searches through swagbucks.com, you will win “swagbucks” that accumulate in your account. Once you have accumulated enough swagbucks in your account, you can cash them in for fun prizes and gift cards. The most popular gift card (in my opinion) is the $5 Amazon gift card you can get for 450 swagbucks. I earn at least one every month.

Here are different ways you can earn swagbucks:

  1. Online searches (I just search as I normally do...nothing extra)
  2. Checking the Facebook page for special codes (Be sure to “Like” it)
  3. Checking the Swagbucks blog for special codes
  4. Downloading the Swagbucks toolbar on your computer. I get a couple swagbucks every week just for having the toolbar.

There are more ways to earn, but those are the most popular.

Here’s where my giveaway comes in. In honor of Swagbucks and their great offers, I am giving away a $5 Amazon Gift card (my favorite thing to "buy" with my swagbucks).

Here’s how to enter. You can enter four times in four different ways:

  1. For those new to Swagbucks, sign up for Swagbucks.com using this link, and then leave a comment telling me you did so. You get 30 swagbucks just for signing up! If you already have a swagbucks account, leave a comment sharing your favorite thing about swagbucks.
  1. Whether you are a new or old swagbucks user, do an online search through swagbucks this week until you win some bucks, and leave a comment telling what you searched for and how many swagbucks you won.

  1. Subscribe to this blog and leave a comment telling me you did so (or comment if you have already subscribed).
  2. Promote this giveaway somewhere (email some friends, post on Facebook, post on your blog, etc., and leave a comment where you promoted it...and thanks for promoting it...I am so excited to start doing things like this!).

Comments/Entries will close at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, and I will notify the winner over the weekend. I will use random.org to choose the winner.

Whether you win this giveaway or not, hopefully the things you do to enter the giveaway will put you on the road to winning your own $5 gift card through Swagbucks!

Happy Swag Hunting!

  6. I did a search! Just played around with it, and downloaded the toolbar and now I have 49 bucks. I think I got 1 for the toolbar and 8 for "using swagerbucks" or something like that.
