With 500 million people already owning and using the world's new money, it is safe to say that cryptocurrencies have gone mainstream. You can buy literally anything now with crypto, from groceries to airtime to cars to homes to web hosting and more. While Walmart and Amazon do not yet accept crypto directly, you can pay for anything at their stores with their coupons. And these coupons you can buy - at sometimes discounted rates - with crypto online! An increasing number of people do not even use traditional bank accounts anymore, saving themselves a truckload of banking fees. They escaped the unhealthy control that banks and governments have over us via what we do with the money we worked for.
What do you need to get the free crypto I'm talking about? Just a 'wallet', which is in essence a free online 'dashboard' showing you your money residing on one of the many blockchains. Only you have access to it, and you can stay pseudo-anonymous, too. Even if the company that developed your free wallet software goes bankrupt, your money is still safe on the blockchain. You merely get another browser add-on as a wallet, or you download another company's software or app and import your 'seed phrase' (a fancy password), and your money shows up in the new wallet's dashboard. Don't stress too much about this, all those many wallets available (they're usually 100% free) have tutorials, and are easy to understand and use.
But what if you do not have crypto, and you're scared to exchange some of your fiat currency for a cryptocurrency? Where can you get some crypto for free, just to get your feet wet?
The easiest way: Get advertisers to pay you! Those big companies are willing to cough up to remain big. A few pay out up to 150 US dollars per task, in various cryptocurrencies.
You get to choose to do any of these:
- Watch infomercial videos, so that the advertiser can get views on their YouTube videos and get a boost in YouTube's algorithms
- Watch advertisements for a few seconds each, often just a web page
- Play mobile & desktop games to check for bugs, and hopefully -by the advertiser - get hooked on the game
- Complete simple tasks, like filling in captchas, or surfing a website as tester for buttons not working properly
- Complete quick offers that give you extra freebies, like downloading apps. (TikTok is famous for getting their app popular this way.)
- Share your opinion by answering questions about products you used
- and more!
You trade an hour or five of your time per day, and get paid in real crypto you can withdraw and spend the same day, or exchange for your local currency into your bank account. Or keep it in crypto, we've all seen the spectacular rise in value. Check the main pic, then google what 10 dollars of Bitcoin in 2010 is worth today. It's mind-blowing!
If you follow the strategy I'll outlay below, you can earn a very decent income. You won't get rich this way, but you'll be off to a brilliant start in the world of crypto.
Advertisers (big well-known companies, that gotten so big because marketing works) want people to see their ads, and hopefully buy a service or product from them. Which you absolutely do not have to do to get paid, you only have to read or watch their advertisement for a few seconds, and money shows up in your dashboard right away. That's because they paid platforms an advertising fee, and these platforms pay most or some of it over to you.
But I'll admit, those advertisers do spend a lot of time getting their ads to look very attractive. Often you can sign up for freebies and so on. Their ads show up in new tabs in your browser, so you are free to interact with the website showing the ad. These advertisers pay the platforms I'll list below, and those platforms recruit people like you and me to watch advertisements, and then pay us a portion of what advertisers paid them.
So here is what you need to do to get started right away:
1. Open a free account at all the websites in my list below. (All open in new tabs.) You need to sign up for several platforms because you can only watch a few ads per day per platform, or do a few tasks at each per day. While that takes just a few minutes per platform, you're not getting paid a full-day income for that. So once you're finished with the tasks available for the day on one platform, jump over to the next platform and watch their ads or complete some tasks there. A great past-time on the potty each morning, huh. And remember, it's still 'work', so put some elbow grease in, man! Don't be a lazy nut!
These platforms usually just require an email address and password to open an account, and later on a Bitcoin or other crypto address so they can cash out to you. I'll get to that in a minute.
A great tip: Once you opened an account at each platform, bookmark all of them, add the bookmarks in one folder in your bookmark manager, then open all of them at once each morning. Oh, and since you'll be dealing with advertisements, you will have to disable your ad blocker for those platforms. You can't get paid for what you cannot see, right.
Open accounts at all the sites below, and do consider using a password manager like LastPass or KeePass to generate secure random passwords and to log you in fast at each:
1. Coinply
2. Fcrypto
3. FireF
4. Coinpay
5. Rebel
6. Freebitcoin
7. Poll
8. Feature Point - Use my referral code for a bonus: FHN7EZ
9. BitMoon
10. AdBTC
11. CaptchaSolve
12. Dutchcorp
14. FPay
2. Your earnings will build up on each platform, and you'll see them in the dashboard at each. A day or three later, you'll need to cash out your crypto to a crypto wallet, of which there are a gazillion free, reputable, and secure ones online. Look for a noncustodial one with open-source code, which allows any security researcher to check its integrity. Two wallets that I can recommend are the big daddy of all, MetaMask, and Coin.space. The latter is my favorite, due to its ease of use, high emphasis on privacy, and top-notch security.
Once you have chosen a wallet, open a free account, copy your public address (not your seed phrase or password!) that your wallet will give you, and paste it on each of the platforms listed above. A few seconds later, your money will be on the blockchain, showing up in your wallet.
That's as simple as that, now you can spend your crypto anywhere in the world. Preferably to buy my book "21 Ways to be a Social Media Superstar", of course (hint hint, wink. LOL.) And at transaction fees as low as 1 cent or less, regardless of transaction size, no traditional bank can beat that, and neither they nor any government can tell you what you can do and not do with your money. Or exchange it inside your wallet for your country's currency and withdraw it into your traditional bank account.
Important, here's a 'secret': While many of these platforms offer games to download and/or play to earn monetary rewards, see each platform itself as a game all by itself instead. Why? Because for some tasks you'll be paid little, for others that are easier, a lot. While you'll be using these sites to earn easy money, do enjoy the experience on each as well. Get to know each site well. Upload a profile image, engage with the community on each, surf it properly, etc. That's when the algorithms of these sites notice that you're serious about making money, and that's when they start unlocking the best tasks for you. And they don't always tell users this 'secret'!
All these platforms compete with each other to keep their millions of users, by offering rewards, bonuses, competitions, and more, all to keep engagement high. Some offers daily rewards if you log in each day, it is thus a good idea to put time aside each day to visit your favorite ones.
If you don't like one platform for whatever reason, just move on to another on my list. The key to get a lot of crypto pretty fast, is to be active on three or more of these platforms daily. Give it a solid try for a week while on the potty. Sign up for all, test all, and choose the best three. Some of them give some crypto away to new users that log in the next day, others reward you for logging in daily, etc. Check your email daily for their notifications!
Also, do download my free book on crypto for beginners. It's not about trading with crypto or any of that difficult stuff, instead, it tells you more about how to get into crypto, different wallets, stablecoins, where to buy coupons, and much more. Everything someone new to crypto needs.
