As many of you know I started in crypto from very humble beginnings. I was unemployed, trying to start a web design business, and not willing to risk my own money. From about 2014 until 2016 I did dogecoin faucets and learned to trade from those earnings. It only amassed to about $300 over a 2 year period.
At the start of 2017, by luck! I was working part time and invested 2 paychecks to my trading account. I started 2017 with just under $700 and by the end of the year I had traded it to a fairly large five figure trading account. To this day, I'm still living off that money and trading it.
This isn't meant as a flex, but I talk to a lot of people who are horrified about investing in crypto or they simply can't afford to "Take the Chance" and it is a chance. I also feel, everyone deserves the opportunity to learn about trading and enter the crypto space. For those not paying attention, this is life changing money for a lot of people!
Well, you don't have to click on Dogecoin faucets every hour like I did for a few Doge to get started. There are many more lucrative opportunities for people to get onboard and learn about crypto now and start earning or even help to build a trading account. Here are four RISK FREE ways to start earning cryptocurrency.
1) LEO FINANCE
Chances are you're already here if you are reading this. Many people will be coming from other sites though and LeoFinance is a great opportunity to start earning some risk free crypto! Simply post what you know about crypto currency, finance and investing. Each post will earn LEO rewards. Invest some into your PowerUp stake and invest some into your trading account. This is a really great risk free way to trade! Leo is also a great community to learn about finance, trading and crypto! OH and I probably should of mentioned you also get rewards for commenting and sharing content. Imagine, earning crypto just for asking questions or commenting on posts. You're already doing this on other platforms... Why not get paid for it?
2) HIVE / Peakd / Dbuzz / 3Speak
LeoFinance is on the HIVE blockchain. However, if you don't feel comfortable talking or blogging about finance you can microblog on Dbuzz, share videos on 3Speak, or blog about whatever you like on HIVE or Peakd. Again, re-invest your earning to HivePower and invest in yourself by funding a trading account. Here too, you earn for comments and content curation. If you haven't signed up already, what are you waiting for?
I should note that Leo and Hive rewards can also take some time to accumulate. You'll get out of both these communities exactly what you put in. You can't simply post 1 meme and expect to earn huge rewards. It takes time to build community and rewards will grow as you grow in the community. Original, quality content is generally rewarded fairly as well as community participation.
3) Presearch
We all use search engines. Why not get paid for your searches? I use Presearch as my main search engine. Simply sign up, install the browser extension to make it your default address bar search engine and start earning PRE. Once you earn 1000 PRE you can cash out. I think 1000 PRE is currently over 50 dollars. Cash out and fund your trading account.
Side note: I do a lot of searches each day, it might take about six months to a year before you hit your 1000 PRE. The point to this isn't about how long it takes though, this is free money. Google never gave me money for my searches. I'm simply using a service I ALREADY use like Google or Bing and getting paid through revenue share of advertisements.
https://presearch.org/signup?rid=115133
The above link is a referral code. PRE withdrawals are currently delayed due to HUGE Ethereum Gas fees. PRE is an ERC-20 token.
4) Brave Browser
Last but not least. Why not use Brave Browser? Each month I earn a few dollars of BAT which is the native token of the Brave browser. Again, I'm not doing anything different. I'm still surfing the web with the same great experience, but I'm earning BAT for doing it.
I find the Brave browser just as good if not better than Chrome, Opera, Firefox and whatever Microsoft is calling their piece of garbage these days. Only difference I can see is Brave blocks ads automatically, and if you configure the browser you'll earn rewards for the Brave advertisements.
My BAT earnings for the month. I'll take that. It's not much, but I didn't really do anything.
A lot of people are worried about losing money they don't have to lose. Trading crypto currency does come with huge risks but also huge rewards. If money is holding you back, you now have 4 ways to enter the crypto space RISK FREE. You're simply trading a little of your time and energy.
There are several other ways to earn free crypto. I know there are still a few faucet sites around. My favorite was doing design work for crypto. You can also get involved with different projects and earn bounties if you're into coding or marketing or can do translation work. Where there's a will, there's a way. If money is the only thing keeping you from entering the crypto space, hopefully one of these solutions will benefit you and help you discover the incredible community of crypto currency people and the opportunities that the crypto space offers.

Are you shittin me ??? You mean I would actually have to make an effort -
F*** this !!! I Quit !!!
Just kidding dood -
I started the same way with bitcoin/doge faucets and got pretty lucky on a few trades here and there in 2017. That was CRAZY - you didn't even have to understand it - you just bought stuff and it skyrocketed.
I have definitely learned a TON more about 'markets' and 'money' - way more than I was ever taught in school or building houses - that's for damn sure.
Keep kickin it's ass dood !!!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LMAO. I think the rewards actually turn away more users than they bring. So many people do one or two posts never to return or just give it a couple weeks of minimal effort then quit.
It has been a learning experience. Crazy how much I've learned over the last couple years. I don't think we ever stop learning in this space.
You too! Cheers!

The big secret that current stablishment ignore or prefer not to look at is that crypto is educating everyone 200% times better than they parrot-repeating , debt-inducing school system. For free!
Education on Money, savings, skin in the game, incentives, communication, the power of open sourcing, real freedom, go-to-the-source content, all this is exposing how flawed the current system is. And people is escaping at terminal velocity to a better system. Interesting times ahead ^_^
I also usually recommend the good old coinbase , if only to earn between $50 and $100 for free in crypto doing their basic "courses". Also you can find a couple of courses in CoinMarketCap that gives you crypto for free.
Lastly, for operating, I have found Kucoin a cheaper alternative to Binance, with a super cheap "Exchange Token" (KCS) that also compounds over time .
There are also dozens of faucets that can make you earn some crypto, usually not much but hey, again, for free ^_^
Recently I discovered a quite funny game that includes a card game inside called Crypto Mining Game (I know, not very original, haha!) That lets you passively earn some BTC, Doge, LTC, Dash and Ethereum while you play, level up, get better at mining and exchange items and cards. Quite funny!
That's all my recommendations to add to your post :-)

The world is changing quickly. Both crypto and opensource projects are changing the way we work, learn, and grow. Hive is changing social media and blockchain technology has the ability to change political governance if we should so choose. We're looking at very interesting times ahead for sure!

Damn, I can't believe I never heard of the Brave browser before! It almost feels silly not to use it!
Thanks dood!

NP, Brave is awesome. Not only do you earn BAT, but the browser is fantastic.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Brave is definitely the first crypto thing got me started.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Everyone should just start using all these seriously. Ok if you’re not such a writer/creator at least brave and presearch ! Plus you’re participating in the google middlefingering effort :D
What would your DOGE from faucet back then would worth now ? 😁
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Every bear run when it hits bottom I see doge as a buy you know around 15-20 sats as it always seems to reach 100 sats agian.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That’s something I’ll keep in mind haha.
I’ll try to sell mine at the right time first :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I dumped, well converted so much doge into other coins.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Pretty sure you made more money converting and trading it than holding till now. Good move.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That post help me a lot , i'll start use all these sites/apps.
Thanks man!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for reading. Happy to read you found the resources helpful. I've got others too. I'll make sure to post them in the future.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for the information on Presearch. I'll set that up immediately. I've been using Brave browser before the integration of BAT. It's actually a great browser; BAT aside.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I love Brave! Great browser for sure. I hope you enjoy Presearch! Thanks for reading.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Contratz! People should be inspired by what you accomplished.
I've been using all these stuff except presearch.org I should try that out too. Thanks for promoting all these cool things :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks. Presearch is great. You earn a fraction of a token for each search. It's not a lot but it does add up over time. The search results seem just as good as Google or Bing too. I currently do about 90% of my searches through Presearch. Every so often I'll compare them to Google results and I'm really happy with the comparison.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Actually I've found some searches to be way better than DuckDuckGo at rare occasions. To me DuckDuckGo gives the best results. These initial impressions made me change to Presearch as my default search. I've almost made 50 PRE these few days.
Absolutely. If you do a lot of research it's definitely worth the switch to Presearch for sure. Great results and those tokens add up quickly. Congratulations!

Thanks for the tips, i use some of the options you mentioned except presearch which I just downloaded. About trading, I am a bit sceptical but it seems like something I will venture into in the nearest future.

Take your time and learn at your own pace. There are so many good FREE resources on Twitter, 3Speak, YouTube (boo), and of course our favorite LeoFinance. Good luck on your journey! See you on the moon :)

There are a lot of them out there now. So many ways to earn crypto!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I use them all and have been very happy with the results. Bat and brave are great, I've been able to earn around $50 while making my web surfing more enjoyable. Blocking all the ads is great and just accepting the ones I support like those from Leofinance pages is really showing me how much my attention is worth.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Brave is a great browser and those rewards are awesome! I do like that you can configure the browser to display ads on certain sites you support. That's a great point for sure!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Nice list and I think that Leo Finance and Hive with the other communities offer the best way to earn crypto and also have a great feeling of being part of something and doing amazing things. And with all the developments from this space we might be on a good run soon.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think Hive is a sleeping giant and I think a lot of people in the crypto community don't see what's really happening here. There is so much here outside of social media. Token creation, NFTs, and gaming are just some of the applications. When people realize everything that HIVE is capable of I think we're going to see a floodgate of new users!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
These are all great ways, I have stopped using presearch but I don't use ETH due to the fees it just ain't worth it for someone that don't use it enough.
Brave should be a given for anyone between rewards and privacy it offers over chrome.
Hive,Leo, Weedcash, the whole hive eco system is a great way to earn even small amounts to nicer amounts plus Div paying tokens and the sidechain tokens hive really offers one the best places to earn crypto.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
ETH fees are currently ridiculous! I haven't been a huge fan of Ethereum for a really long time. Those smart contract glitches can be a real nightmare too.
Brave is awesome. My favorite browser for sure!
HIVE and all things Hive related to the moon! I'm really happy to be here and think we're all really early to this party! So much going on in this community, and so much happening on chain too. Lot of development and the people are incredible!

This is a good list. I got a few friends that feel like they missed the bus, this might at least get their feet wet. Thanks!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I hope it helps them. Getting started can be tough for a lot of people. Earning crypto and learning the ropes while you earn can be a great way to get your feet wet and limit any risks involved. Good luck to your friends.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Bat is legit awesome, In both how it works but also the browser is 100x better than any other! I've had major issues trying to reach payout on Presearch though. Every time I feel like I'm getting close they change something up lol
Leo and Hive for sure solid bets though! Create good quality content and you'll reap the rewards over time from great curators on the platform.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I've been with Presearch since almost the start and haven't had any real issues. I didn't even know they were listed on any exchanges till last week. Currently withdrawals are on hold due to high Gas fees. The system could use improving for sure, but it's a nice alternative to Google IMHO.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is it possible to swap $Eth to another crypto on PRE?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No, I don't think so. PRE is just an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain as far as I know.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Alright thanks
Posted via D.Buzz
Thank you for this. I am very interested in the presearch option.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Presearch is great. Let me know what you think after you use it for a bit. Make sure to get the browser extension so it becomes the default search engine in your address bar. It really started to add up when every search automatically defaulted to presearch
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hi, thanks for the post. Do you know the BATs earned in Brave accumulate month by month? I have had some BATs in each months since I started using, but they don't seem accumulated. So how to exceed min 25 BAT tp withdraw?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm not sure. I think you can transfer to your wallet, but you can't transfer out of wallet till you have 25 maybe. I'm not sure. The wallet is weird. I live in NY and couldn't even get a wallet with UPHOLD. Gemini Exchange in NY finally offered a BAT wallet and the coins show up directly in my trading account. I was also having a problem with my browser resetting with each update and it wiped out my BAT earnings. I haven't had problems since Gemini got involved though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have been using hive based platforms and presearch from some time.
Presearch is also very good, just use presearch interface to google anything.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I use the search extension to make it the default search engine in the address bar. Love the search results and the PRE is nice too!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Almost reaching... 1$ of upvote... I wish I could have planned the same for LEO...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I just started building my LEO account too. Wish I would have bought more hive when we were around 12 cents and wish I would have started my Leo account much earlier. Glad to be here now though and slowly growing!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Soon, reaching 1$ of upvote... which will start to make things interesting... It's when that conversation about, why should I post on HIVE, will start to be harder to justify... the previous low rewards.
Haha started on those faucets too! And the 500 doge I had in a lost wallet were put to good use in the recent pump, almost forgot they existed! Amazing job with the trading, if you could turn a 3 digit into a 5 digit account in one year! Starting to take trading a lot more serious, but still lack decent results. Soon... ;)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It was lucky timing on my part. 2017 was one hell of a bull run for alts.
If this rally continues I'm hoping we see something similar.
Definitely agree with all 4 of those, but I only recently discovered Presearch and began earning my extra 59 cents a day without changing anything in my searching habits. Letting the PRE stack like...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LOL, I stacked them for a couple years. I was pretty excited when I found them on an exchange!
I am still trying to find the best exchange to buy/sell HIVE. can't grow with the amount of HP I have.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Binance is probably the best if you're not in US.
Ionomy isn't bad, but it's a very low volume exchange.
Would love to see a Kucoin listing or maybe Coinbase or Gemini for the states! I'm pretty sure Bittrex has them too.
Yeah, unfortunately I am in US. Sad reality.
