Swagbucks tool bar rocks! I'm loving those daily codes.

The Swag Guy has held true to his promise of a daily code on the Swagbucks tool bar. While many of the codes have come in the late afternoon/early evening, I noticed that today's code is up there bright and early for me today. Knock on wood, I'll not miss a single tool bar code this month. So far, I've gotten every daily toolbar code. (I guess you could say I spend too much time online?)

At any rate, there's still lots of time to download the Swagbucks toolbar so that you, too, can snag those daily bucks.

If you aren't a part of the Swag Nation, now's a great time to join. Joining through a referral link means you get 3 Swagbucks to start.

Ways to earn Swagbucks:

1. Natural searching. Use that toolbar to search for what you need and you can win Swagbucks.
2. Follow Swagbucks on Twitter - get alerts to codes and occasionally a Swagbucks code.
3. Fan Swagbucks on Facebook - TSG puts out codes on the Facebook Wall sometimes or even just checking in and seeing "Thanks TSG" will alert you that there's a code floating out there.
4. Download the toolbar - it is now compatible with Firefox, IE and Safari. For the month of September, TSG is putting a code a day on the Toolbar! Easy bucks.
5. Join the news letters - there are two. Check Swagbucks' home page and look down the left side bar to 'Sign up for the Newsletter' and also stop by the Shop and Earn and sign up for that newsletter. These generally contain a code and are sent out periodically to Swaggernauts.
6. Submit poll ideas - If the Swag Guy loves your idea, you could get rewarded.
7. Participate in Trivia - this is mostly during the day, but Swag Guy does put Trivia questions out on Facebook or Twitter and if you're lucky (and smart) you can snag some Swagbucks that way.
8. Twitter Tuesday Phrase that Pays - The Swag Guy gives us a Swagbucks-ified word and we tweet it in a phrase. I've never won the 50 SB prize, but I've gotten an honorable mention and a free swagbuck for my entry.
9. Promote Swagbucks - the best way to earn Swagbucks is by referring your friends. You receive matching bucks (for their searches only) up to 100 Swagbucks. Many hands makes a lighter load and many referrals means lots of Swagbucks. TSG makes promotion easy by providing you with your very own referral link, Swidgets and other fun banners that you can add to your website or email.
   
10. Unboxing videos - did you snag a cool Swag prize? TSG will reward users who send in their videos and their pictures of them with the prize they got from Swagbucks. Even if you cash in for Amazon and order something cool, take a pic and send it in for some extra bucks toward your next prize.
11. Shop through the site - shopping through the Swagbucks site is an awesome way to build your bucks.
    
12. Trade in your old stuff - got video games/consoles/cell phones/Mp3 players etc. laying around gathering dust? Your excess video games don't need to be hot right now to still snag you some Swagbucks. They even take older stuff like NES games!
    
13. Subscribe to the Swag Blog - TSG will often put codes there, so becoming a follower or subscribing via RSS will increase the chance you can snag a code before it expires.

Those are 13 ways you can earn Swagbucks. If you can think of anymore, please let me know!
