A few ways to get things for free
So, I know I posted about these few things yesterday when I put up my resources page, but I got a couple questions about some so I thought I’d go in depth about a few so you knew they weren’t scams. Cause, I’d never direct you all to a scam let alone something I hadn’t done myself! And I know many of you already joined these, as I always seem to be the last one to post about them!
First up is Paperback swap. I joined up about a year ago now and have received quite a few “new to me” books. The easiest way to explain paperback swap is to call it an online book swap. You post any book that you currently own that you no longer read. (if you post 10 books right away they automatically give you 2 book credits!) Now at some point, you’ll most likely have someone request your book. When you send it out to them (you pay the shipping) and they receive it, you get a book credit. You can then use that book credit and search the site to request someone else’s book. They then pay the shipping to send it to you and you get a free, used, book! I’ve sent out many of my own books and have received some great books in return. I’ve never had any issues with people not sending out a book, although it is up to the people who post them to follow through. It’s a great way to save some money! And if you have friends sign up with your refferal link you earn even more book credits! (so if you haven’t signed up yet, you can click on the button above to use my refferal link. I’m currently saving up my book credits to be able to get some ’schooling’ books to use for preschool this year)
DVD Swap – Same premise as the Paperback Swap but with DVD’s. I joined this one much later on, but have since gotten 2 DVDs that my toddler enjoys quite a bit.
SwagBucks – A search engine that rewards you for using it with “points”. These points can then be turned into online gift certificates to all sorts of online stores or to buy prizes. I’ve earned $15.00 in Amazon.com cards in about 6 weeks! This works just like google and you can even pull the swagbucks search up into the top right hand “search area” say the Mozilla or IE window. You then do nothing different at all when yuo search. Every few times you search for something online it pops up that you have earned a swagbucks and it gets added into your account. So far I’ve used my swag bucks to purchase an amazon gift card so that I could buy some California Baby Sunblock! A fabulous way for me to buy things that are normally out of my price range! And of course, you can also earn extra points here and there by refferals as well. (*clears throat* the above button!) So once you sign up, your friends and family sign up, you’ll all be earning ‘bucks’ for something you’d be doing anyways.
