  • I hope this question is ok but how easy is it to do swag bucking? Really asking how much time a day or week it takes to get an amount worth doing.Thanks.

    Wonder if I am the only one who cannot get the Crowdflower Extension to work. I have tried it a couple of times as there appear to be so many Investment tasks that need it - it must install OK as I am able to start the task so it has been recognised as being installed. However the 30 sec timer never appears once I have opened the correct page so I am unable to complete the task. Does anyone have any advice how I can get around this problem or tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in anticipation.

    I'm also getting this both on Swagbucks and on another 'paid for clix' site :( TBH, I've pretty much given up on the tasks - the ones that need the Crowdflower Extension stop working halfway through and I think I will go slightly mad if I have to Google a certain financial investment company, or the CEO of said company, ever again!

    Hi

    I am a newbie - I'm in my third or fourth week now - but I find it can vary. On an easy day, which today has been, I can hit my target within 30 - 45mins, A couple of searches and a quick survey and I'm done for the day! Other days, when surveys are few and far between and the ones I do get offered kick me out after screening, it can be a boring day of games, searches and videos to make up the 'bucks'.

    I think that, at the moment, it is worth it. The videos are on in the background whilst I am online so I don't really watch them, I just have to remember to go in and click on a new one every now and then. I have just put in for a second Paypal payment of £5, this means that I have earned a tenner in less than four weeks and it hasn't really taken much effort as I am online anyway.

    I'm sure that someone with more experience and ideas will be in to answer you in a bit, but I'm happy enough and think it is worthwhile :)

    I have just got flagged in Crowdflower for getting 15/16 questions RIGHT! A major one too! Can someone please explain this as I haven't got a clue what it is all about. I only do a few tasks occasionally & even then half cause me problems, so I probably won't do them unless I am absolutely desperate for points from now on.


    Same. Mine was something to do with categorizing photos. I tried though! If I think someone drinking a beer in suit is both work related and socializing who are they to argue!
