Thankyou for replying. I have read through the first post, but still a little confused (it's quite daunting at first, very different to the survey sites I am used to), so apologies for seeming a little "slow".
For example, I have downloaded the search tool, and been using it all day to search as I would normally, but no wins. Is it just luck of the draw, or should I be searching certain topics?keywords?It's not about getting what you want, It's about wanting what you get.0 -

It's a luck thing. You will only get a maximum of 4 wins a day from people's experience. It is also time restricted i.e. if you win in the early morning, you will probably not win again until afternoon etc.
The search terms do not make a difference to whether you win or not. Think of it as a prizedraw. They randomly pick a winner out of all the people who search at any time.0 -

It's random. Keep searching, not too close together in time. I gave up trying the search term others had been using - I use it now instead of google and I most days get 1 or 2 wins.First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win - Gandhi0 -
I always clear cookies between search wins, I usually get 2-3 a day but I can't remember ever getting one, then getting another later in the day without clearing cookies. I do that as routine though so YMMV.0

I don't regularly clear out cookies. Still works fine most days.First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win - Gandhi0 -
September Bonuses are in - makes up for a bit of an annoying day. And nCrave has been generous via the banner above my account. Refreshed regularly at 5 SB a shot, no babysitting autoplay. Sod the to do list bonus, haha.First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win - Gandhi0

I am just hoping to earn a bit of pin money. I still have a lot of pages to read through, and hoping it will help me get to grips with sb, but I have a few questions if anyone would be so kind:
1) My daily goal was at 110 today already! Even with the one survey I qualified for, I am struggling to hit this, is this normal for "newbies"/
2) What is the best method to earn bucks, other than the surveys?
3) What is a swagbuck? How many = £1? How long does it take, on average, to hit say a £10 voucher? I am looking at spending 1-2hr a day on sb, whats the best use of that time?
4) Any other beginner tips much appreciated.
Thanks in advance xx
1) Not sure about newbie daily goals but I think 90-120 tends to be pretty normal for most - it's often lower on Sundays as there aren't many surveys around.
2) My daily routine at the moment is this;
Completing the to-do list: ~5SB
Games: 10SB
Mobile apps (SBTV, Movieclips etc): 60SB+
Swagbutton Watch: maximum 150SB
nCrave: 100-150SB
Others (Swagcodes, disqualification points etc): maybe 15SB
I have the mobile apps, Swagbutton and nCrave all running at the same time, and the last few nights I've actually been leaving the Swagbutton running when I go to bedI will admit I am at home most days so do have a lot of time for Swagbucking.
3) There doesn't seem to be a direct SB = £ - it depends on what reward you claim and whether it's on offer or not. AFAIK 1SB = 0.01USD (ie 1 cent) but that's not much use for us!
I think (at the moment) 160SB = £1 via Paypal, 144SB via Amazon etc. I've been cashing out, I reckon, between £25-50 a month, and managed £75 last month
4) I'd suggest don't be scared of submitting help requests if surveys don't pay out when they should. I never did but after I had three not pay in two days, I started submitting requests and they normally credit the full amount within a day - well worth doing, especially when they can be 70SB+ each.
Hope some of that might help!

Thank you so much, that's really helpful. I am thinking a routine may be the way to go for me too!
Managed to bag 130 sb today, but I have been at it on and off for almost 4 hours - it's quite addictive.It's not about getting what you want, It's about wanting what you get.0 -
Just be aware the more times you hit your second bonus the higher it will go. I find I can hit the second one 3 days running without it shooting through the roof then i hold back on day 4 or 5. Also don't be afraid of one or two mamoth days affecting your day goal. It seems to take a longer view.
Have fun, but don't become a slave to the swagbuck. No point getting agitated over not meeting a daily target or having a low bucks day.Make £520 a year in 2020 so far (£0 cash £0 AGC)
