Topline - Earn Money for Surfing the Net


Topline

What is Topline?

Topline is a new company based out of Los Angelos, founded in late 2011. Their goal is to revolutionize how ads are displayed on the internet, and that users should be rewarded for what they see while surfing the web.

Topline is a browser add-on that replaces ads on webpages with their own, and pays you for each ad you view. You don't need to click on these ads to earn points, just have them displayed. It does not add any ads, just replaces ads already there.



The image on the top shows a website without Topline, and the image below that shows the same website with Topline enabled. Notice the small "T" in the top right corner of the ad, which indicates the ad displayed is a Topline ad.

How much can I make?

For each ad that is displayed on the screen, you gain one point, which can then redeemed for cash via PayPal. The points to dollar ratio is dynamic, and subject to change. You can check how much 1000 points is worth via the Ticker, which will track the value of points each day. It hasn't changed from 1000 = $0.75 for a while now, but worth to check before cashing out.

You can also refer friends to the program, and for each point they earn you have a 5% chance to earn a point as well, even if you weren't surfing at the time. The more friends you refer, the more chances you have per point to earn points doing absolutely nothing.

If you're a dedicated surfer, you can probably make 400-600 points a day. It's not much, compared to other active methods, but then again you're not doing anything extra for it, just what you normally do.  Obviously the more referrals you have, the faster you will earn.

The minimum cash out is $10.00.

Can I join?

Topline is available internationally, and as far as I know, you don't need to be of a certain age to start earning. The only thing you need is a PayPal account to receive your earnings.

If you have multiple computers in your household, you can install Topline on them with the same account. As long as you're not using virtual machines and refreshers, you should be fine.

If you earn too much within a given time period, or you look suspicious, Topline will temporarily disable your ads and you will only see Topline's default ads that don't give you anything. They will re-enable your ads a few hours later.

If you are in charge of a large network of computers, Topline is currently developing a group account feature that will make this easier. At this point, as long as your browsing habits are legitimate, you can use Topline over a large network on the same IP address.

Swagbucks




Search & Win

Earn big with
Swagbucks!

Earn at least 175 Swagbucks a day by searching, doing polls and surveys, completing offers and watching videos.
  1. Register for Swagbucks by clicking on the image to the left.
  2. That's it!




Sign Up Bonus! Use the code "SummerSocial" to get 70 extra Swagbucks while signing up! Expires on the 28th of June, so hurry!


Surveys

    Now you can start earning Swagbucks! To get yourself going, you'll need to fill out some profiles about yourself, so you can qualify for surveys. Each profile you complete will earn you two points each. There are about 10 profiles to fill out. You should check the "Trusted Surveys" tab at the bottom of the Earn menu each day to see if there's a survey waiting for you. Each survey is worth around 60-80 SB and probably takes about 5 minutes.

 Toolbar and Searching

    Install the Swagbucks toolbar for an easy Swagbuck each day. Go to this page and select your browser to install the toolbar. The toolbar will show you your current balance, and you can search directly from it. Searching using the Swagbucks search engine gives you a change to win Swagbucks. The amount you win ranges from 3-30, with random events giving a much higher threshold.
     
    Use the search function before you go to Google. If you're not that curious during the day, you can use the Swag Search to get to your favourite sites. If you want to check out eBay, use the toolbar to get there and you may get Swagbucks just for getting to eBay! You can win up to 3 times a day and you'll probably average 50 Swagbucks (SB) a day. Don't spam the search with random keywords hoping to win, you may get banned for it.
     

Daily Polls and NOSOs

    There are daily polls that ask you one question and you will be rewarded with a single SB. Check out the No Obligation Special Offers (NOSO) under the "Earn" tab for a chance to win 2 SB. You'll be showed a series of offers and all you need to do is click the next button or "Skip this offer" to the end. Usually takes about 4 clicks to get there. You can do this once a day.
     
     

Swagbucks TV

    Your biggest earner by far will be Swagbucks TV and Swagbucks TV Mobile. You will earn 3 Swagbucks every 10 videos that are about a minute long each, up to a maximum of 150 SB a day. You will earn 2 Swagbucks every 10 videos you watch on Swagbucks TV Mobile, which is Android only, up to a maximum of 50 SB a day. If you don't have an Android device, fret not, I will tell you how in a couple of paragraphs. You can have the player running muted in another tab and it will count. You may run into a CAPTCHA test when your Swagbucks Meter hits 90%. This is just to see that you are, in fact, you, and not some automated bot or script. I've only seen one every other week though, but your mileage may vary.
     
    If you're like me and have the memory of a goldfish, or have 10,000 tabs open at a time, you might forget to click the next video. Now, before we go on I must say that you should only use this script when you're at the computer. You may run into a CAPTCHA test. Anyway, on to the script. You'll need Chrome to use this, which you can download here. I usually use Firefox, but this works out because I can have my normal web surfing stuff on Firefox, and SBTV on Chrome. Download the script here. It will only work in Chrome.
     
    Once it's installed, navigate to Swagbucks TV and click on a video. Once it's loaded right click on some blank space and enable the Swagbucks Automater. After a random interval of seconds, roughly between 35 and 50 seconds it will select the next video. The script will change the hover text of Chrome to a percentage of your Swagbucks reward bar, so you can see if it's close to 90%. The script will automatically stop if it runs into a CAPTCHA, but it's still best to only have it running when you're physically there. You can earn up to a maximum of 150 SB per day.
     WARNING: I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU RUN THIS SCRIPT WHILE AFK (AWAY FROM KEYBOARD), NOR DO I RECOMMEND YOU MAX OUT YOUR EARNINGS. SWAGBUCKS TEND TO FLAG USERS WHO MAKE AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF SB PER DAY. I'D RECOMMEND EARNING BETWEEN 50-120 SWAGBUCKS PER DAY FROM SBTV, RANDOMIZE THE AMOUNT FROM DAY TO DAY.
     

 Swagbucks TV Mobile

    You can earn another 50 SB a day by using the Swagbucks TV Mobile app. You can find it through whichever app store you use for your device. A few people have said they can't find the app in the stores, so you can find it here
     
    If you don't have an Android device, don't worry, you can get an emulator here. And you'll need the app itself, which you can find here  
     
  1. Once you've installed the emulator, navigate to the folder ( C:/Program Files (x86)\BlueStacks ) and grab the file "HD-ApkHandler.exe" and move it to the desktop. 
  2. You can right click and select "Move to (create shortcut)" or copy the file and paste it on the desktop. 
  3. Grab the "com.swagbuckstvmobile.views-2.apk" from wherever it ended up and move it to the desktop. 
  4. Drag the .apk file onto the HD-Apkhandler.exe file and wait for it to install. 
  5. Once it's done open it up, select the Swagbucks TV Mobile app,  login and start watching videos. The app will automatically select the next video.  
          You can earn a maximum of 50 SB per day with the Swagbucks TV Mobile app.
 

Referrals

    You can refer people to Swagbucks and you will earn whatever your referral wins from searches. For example if Mary was my referral, and she wins 10 SB from a search, I will also earn 10 SB simply for referring her to Swagbucks in the first place. Unfortunately there is a limit to how much SB each referral can earn you, up to 1000 SB as of today. There are no limits how many referrals you can have, so if few have maxed out, you can get new referrals to take their place. Although, when you can only win about 50 SB per day from searches, that'll take their place. Although, when you can only win about 50 SB per day from searches, that'll take a while to max out

Extras

    Check your Swagbucks Inbox (there will be a red number if you get a new message) for deals, survey offers or tasks. Tasks are quite simple to complete and only take a couple of minutes to complete. You will be rewarded with 1-3 SB. Tasks include checking to see whether or not an ad leads to the right website when you click on it, to checking if a given webpage correctly lists the address of a business.

    It might be worth checking the Special Offers tabs now and then for surveys. There are a few offer walls to choose from, and you can select the kind of offer you want. The best ones are the surveys and free offers. You can do the ones that require a credit card for extra SB, but unless you actually want the product or service, only go for the ones with a free trial period and cancel your membership when you get the SB.

Swagcodes

    Swagcodes are randomly given out every couple of days. It's a code you enter to earn some Swagbucks, around 15-30 at a time. They do expire quickly, so get in there quick! A helpful tool is Twitter. Just follow @swagcodespoiler and @swagcodezalertz and you'll be able to snag them quickly.
