Is It Really Possible To Earn $100 A Month Using Swagbucks? Yes It is!
I had a commenter leave a comment saying she earned $75 her first month with Swagbucks and was on her way to earning $100 this month.
Her comment got the wheels in my head spinning– can a person make $100 a month with Swagbucks?
It turns out that yes, you indeed can earn $100 a month from Swagbucks as another reader left this comment…
“I’ve gotten $100 in Swagbucks for a few months straight. Before that, I’ve gotten $50 a month. If you hit your daily goals, get a streak for a number of days, you get bonuses in the following month – sometimes it’s $8+ worth for me! Also, games should be higher on this list, IMO, as you can play games (just let them autoplay, you just need to click it to go – not obligated to play) each day. Play ten games a day, every other game will credit 2 SB (.02 cents), up to 10 SB (.10c) a day. That adds up each month! Surveys are important, too, you can get credit for not qualifying and even more if you qualify for full surveys”

I use to do Swagbucks earning plans that showed you what activities you had to do each month through Swagbucks to earn a certain amount of SB points. In fact, at one time this post until I update it had a plan like that. But now that I have been a Swagbucks member for years I have learned that they continuously change how to earn SB points and how many SB points you earn from each activity –making my plans frustrating for those who find them after changes have been made. So I have switched this plan to showing you all the ways you can earn SB points through Swagbucks allowing you to come pick and choose which earning options work best for you.

Add to that the daily poll, the video apps, daily web searches and playing SWAGO when it is offered, and you could be well on your way to $100 a month depending on how high the shop and earn values were that you received and how often you perform webs searches, etc…
