Swagbucks

Swagbucks is one to consider if you’re looking for the best referral sites. It’s an online platform launched in 2008, making it one of the well-established get-to-paid sites on the internet. 

Although there are many ways you can make money with Swagbucks, referring friends lets you earn 300 SB points or $3. On top of that, you can get 100 SB points more if your referral installs the Swagbucks App on their computer.

Another exciting bonus you can get for referring friends to Swagbucks is that you’ll get 10% of their SB earnings. Say one of your referrals earned 5,000 points in a month. In that case, you’ll get a 500 points bonus.
