When Moderating a SubReddit for a Popular Rewards Website...

Back when Bing Rewards had a higher daily payout and had more double payout days, i earned in a few weeks, enough Amazon credit for a half dozen books and a sharpening stone. Alas Bing reduced the daily payout, thus i searched for alternative, discovering Swagbucks. On my first day with some 12 hours invested, i had earned just over 1,000 swagbucks ($10.00). Ultimately over the course of five months, having earned $315 worth of books and tools. Buying from nearest local supplier, and buying all books (save those purchased for gifts) in used but great condition. Some books cost just a penny ($0.01), but with the normal $4-5 shipping.
