Simply sign up for Swagbucks HERE.
After you sign up, be sure to download the Swagbucks toolbar. Use this toolbar as your search engine instead of Google, Bing, or other search engine.
That's it! There are other ways to win Swagbucks, but searching is the easiest and we all do it anyway.
Pretty soon, you will have enough points from searching to trade in for some great gift cards! I recently traded in my points for $5 Paypal credit - that's cash, my friend! :)
