This post is brought to you by Swagbucks.
We’ll be talking more about making money later in this series but I wanted to get you started now so you can earn extra Christmas money with very little effort.
I’ve mentioned before that my favorite online money-making site is Swagbucks and today I have a step-by-step plan for you to earn $25 in 1 month.
Swagbucks is a rewards site which gives you points called “SB” for doing things online that you normally do like searching the web, watching videos and discovering deals. Once you have accumulated points you can redeem them for gift cards to places like Amazon, PayPal and retailers like Starbucks for all you coffee lovers.
My favorite way to use my points is to purchase Amazon gift cards for Christmas. This plan to earn $25 in gift cards in a month is easy and if you follow it for the next three months you will have $75 in gift cards to use for Christmas gifts! Pus Swagbucks discounts your first $25 gift card of the month to 2200 SB so you get $3 off and can apply those extra points to your next gift card!

How to earn a $25 gift card each month:
Complete the Quick Daily Activities
All of the activities found on the left-hand side of the Swagbucks homepage can be completed in just 1 to 2 minutes a day and can earn the following SB:
- Answer the Daily Poll everyday – (also available on the SB mobile app) so you can earn your daily SB wherever you are: 30 SB;
- Do the NOSO everyday – Browse through the No Obligation Special Offers for 2 SB everyday: 60 SB;
- Get your daily SwagButton SB – the popular browser add-on gives you the ability to earn SB from anywhere on the web. It also alerts you to Swag Codes which will add up to more than 30 SB in a month.
- Do the Daily Crave – discover new content and websites to earn 1 SB everyday: 30 SB.
Search Online Everyday
Use the Swagbucks Search Engine everyday to do your regular searches and earn up to 10 SB per day. Members who make Swagbucks the default search engine on their browser typically earn even more. Searching every day could earn up to 300 SB in a month.
Complete Swagbucks Surveys
Earn big SB payouts by completing 5 to 20 minute surveys when available and you can take the Daily Survey every weekday. SB amounts vary from survey to survey but it is possible to earn about 35 SB per weekday or up to 700 SB in a month.
Use the SBTV app
The SBTV app is available on Android in all countries & iOS in the US only. You can earn a maximum of 36 SB per day by using the app or 1,080 SB in a month.
Obviously the amount earned will vary based on your usage, time spent and the survey opportunities available but if you have some extra time you can use it to earn money for Christmas in only a few minutes a day.

Hi Kimberlee – I’ve also just discovered that you can replay the “Sponsored” option, sometimes up to 6 times in a day (today’s is the image of the girl with the black halter top, sunglasses on her head, chatting with friends. They’re the ones where you interact with an ad – they’re a lot faster than some of the other buttons.
Thanks for that tip Caro!
