Swagbucks paid for my next art project

Have you heard of Swagbucks? If you haven't then let me tell you a little about it. It is a very simple way to earn gift cards in your spare time. You can sign up through this link: Swagbucks. Once you are signed up you can start earning swagbucks in lots of different ways. You can download their toolbar, watch videos through their site, use their search engine, and even print coupons. You will earn different values of swagbucks for each activity and once you reach a certain amount you can cash out for gift cards or other prizes. When I first signed up I didn't use it much because I was unsure of how long it would actually take to earn anything. I've been using Swagbucks since 2011, but didn't get really into it until last year. 



I've heard all sorts of success stories of people being able to pay for bills, weddings, and so many different things with Swagbucks. So I decided I would make it my mission to earn enough Swagbucks to cash out for Amazon gifts cards to pay for a step in making an addition to my artistic creations. I have been wanting to expand my business, make a bigger variety of products. I got really interested in learning how to paint shoes after I saw some amazing ones on Etsy but they were way out of my price range. I decided to give it a shot and try painting a pair for myself. 

I was so happy with how they turned out, I love them and was proud of myself. Sadly they began to crack and fade after wearing them for a few weeks. I painted them with acrylic paint and sealed them with a protective spray coat but that wasn't enough. I did some research and found that you can actually buy special paint that is formulated for painting shoes. I found it on Amazon but sadly it was a little out of my price range because we are on a tight budget and this wasn't exactly a "need". Enter Swagbucks... This was why I wanted the Amazon gift cards, so I could cash them in for this new paint. So each day I would wake up and do the NOSO path on Swagbucks, then use the search engine, then watch videos, etc.  I finally had enough to cash out for a few Amazon gift cards and I am happy to say I was able to purchase this set of the paints and the finisher with those gift cards, I ended having to pay a little for shipping but it was only a few dollars so I didn't mind that. 

I went with the neon colors because my first pair of shoes will be for my daughter, but soon I should be able to have enough Swagbucks for more gift cards and I can expand my colors. After I paint my daughter's shoes, I owe a pair to my niece and my best friend. Hopefully after that I can figure out the best way to get the shoes and I can begin offering custom shoes to my customers! Make sure to keep checking back, once my daughter's shoes are finished I will share them with ya'll.
