Swagbucks

(Note this method may not suit everyone as it requires a bit more effort to get set up and to really earn from it you will have to spend some time daily on your laptop.If not no problem just leave it out of your routine and try the next method)

The next method we are looking at is Swagucks http://www.swagbucks.com/.These guys operate worldwide but are really optimised for America and the UK with other territories not having as much opportunities to earn.This sadly includes Ireland but even though we dont do as well as our English and American cousins this is still a viable Beermoney method to add to our fund.The system consists basically of points called swagbucks which you earn daily through a variety of methods and then cash in.On the website there are a number of ways to earn points which we will look at later but the main part of this is the apps.The latest version of the apps will only work in the US and UK so cannot be used here in Ireland but older versions will work fine on android phones here so IOS devices cant really avail of this part.Swagbucks has 6 apps that you can earn points for watching videos.Only 4 of these work outside America and unfortunately with the latest versions only being available on the play store we will need to be sideload them.

This basically means downloading the app and loading it onto the phone yourself rather than the play store handling it for you.
(Video for more sideloading details https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibw0l5o3hmY).The APK files needed for the apps SBTV,EntertaiNow,MovieCli.ps and IndymusicTV can be found online or contact me if you need help finding them.I would repeat again that a second old android phone with no sim card and connected to wifi would be ideal for this and other beermoney apps rather than taking up time and space on your everyday phone.There are literally thousands of older phones thrown in drawers around Ireland and chances are you will allready have one at home or a nice friend who could give you one.Each of these apps can earn 10 points daily by playing videos.Basically there is a big list of videos on each app and once a certain ammount of videos is watched you earn a point.Sbtv and Entertainow have shorter numbers of times than the other 2 so you earn the points faster.The main thing about this is all the videos are different lengths from 10 seconds to 4 minutes.So using a 10 second video is 24 times faster
than the 4 minute video.(Link with shortest video lengths https://www.reddit.com/r/SwagBucks/comments/2dyb6h/swagbucks_app_video_times/)You will go to each app and favourite the shortest video by sliding to the left until a
heart appears and then each time you run the app you play the favourite video and it automatically loops the video over earning you your points.The way I do it is I have my old phone connected to wifi at home and when I get up in the morning I run SBTV first and go about my business.After about 10 minutes it will have earned my 10 points
so before I go to work I start MovieCl.ps which is one of the longer apps taking about 30 minutes and let that run.When I come home in the evening I plug the phone into its charger and run EntertaiNow which takes about 20 minutes and later on I would run the longest app IndymusicTV which can take 45 minutes.So after the apps are installed and
all setup it takes 2 minutes in the morning to start 2 apps and 2 minutes in the evening to start 2 more and plugin the charger and its automatic after that.

Effort:There is a nice bit of effort installing the apps then setting up the videos on a phone but once thats done your flying and the routine of running the apps only takes a few minutes effort from you.This will net you 40 swagbucks a day but we will be aiming for 70 swagbucks a day.To achieve this we will visit the site every day and click on the daily poll and Daily offers(Noso) giving 3 more swagbucks.Install the swagbutton which gives you a bonus code every day 2-3 swagbucks.You can use the swagbucks search engine twice a day which will earn you 15-40 swagbucks and maybe watch a couple of videos on the site to make up the balance.With the assumption you are using a computer sometime during the day you should be able to fit in these tasks to topup your 40 and easily hit the 70 swagbucks mark.You are given a low daily goal every day and if you are hitting 70 you should get your bonus for reaching it which ranges from 25-300 swagbucks a month depending on if you miss days.There are many other ways to earn swagbucks if you want to get crazy into it and try including intalling apps,surveys which can give a lot of swagbucks,referrals and swagbucks back for every pound spent on sites like Amazon.

Return:Using just the apps at 40 a day would give you 1120 swagbucks a month which is enough for a £15 Amazon gift card every 2 months or £90 a year which is about €117 a year.Working on the premise that you run the apps and do the daily tasks which is harder you will have 70 swagbucks a day which gives you 1960 swagbucks a month.If you dont miss a day in the month thats another 300 swagbucks giving enough for a £15 Amazon gift card every month or £180 which is €234 a year.If you had the time,resources and patience to add in referrals,surveys and swagbucks back you could really ramp this up

Worth Doing:Although not as well paying as it was a few years ago if you use the apps and are willing to spend some time every day on a laptop this is still viable.Even missing some days throughout the month and losing the bonuses while doing some swagbucks surveys to bring your total back up it is still very achievable to get €150-€200 in gift cards every year.(Note you can also cash out to paypal but beware these cost considerably more in swagbucks meaning you will get less overall)
