Investing in cryptocurrency can be a great way to grow your finances. It’s often assumed that you need to invest your own money to earn cryptocurrency, but there are ways that you can begin your investment journey without investment.
This guide will show you a number of different ways, from blogging and social media through to gaming and publishing artwork, to earn cryptocurrency with no investment required.
Brave is an open-source web browser based upon Chromium. If you’re familiar with Chrome then you will be up and running in no time. A bonus is it’s inbuilt ad-blocker which makes surfing the web much faster. If you enable Brave’s own ad-network then you get to earn BAT cryptocurrency. This is a great way to earn cryptocurrency simply by surfing the web as you normally would, without no investment required!
If you have a little time to invest, or if you want to start your blogging career, or if you simply want to make some new friends online, then Hive is a great place to start. It’s possible to earn a good passive income simply by blogging, or using it as a social media platform.
It may seem a little confusing upon first investigations, there’s hive.blog, leofinance.io, peakd.com and many, many more projects built around the Hive blockchain. It’s all based upon a central blockchain which has it’s own cryptocurrency, called $HIVE. This means that whatever platform you use, you can earn cryptocurrency simply by blogging, commenting and curating other users content. This is a fantastic way to generate a passive income with no investment required other than your time.
If you’re a WordPress user you can even synchronise your blog with the Hive platform to enable your WordPress posts to be published on your Hive blog, earning crypto at the same time as doing what you’d be doing anyway, via a free WordPress plugin from Exxp.
Blogging via Hive is very simple, whether you’re using Hive, Peakd, Leo Finance, or one of the other Hive projects, you can easily upload images or format your posts. Once it’s live, other users get to upvote your post, which then earns you Hive cryptocurrency. Users who upvote your post get their own cryptocurrency rewards through a split in your earnings. After 7 days your cryptocurrency earnings are added to your account through Hive Dollars or Hive Power (essentially a power-up on your account).
You can blog about whatever you want, whether that’s your favourite band, the dinner you just cooked or indeed cryptocurrency. There’s a place, or community for you. Indeed, if you take a look at leofinance.io, you’ll see there’s a wealth of advice, and like-minded people working to build there cryptocurrency portfolio.
Your Hive cryptocurrency can be traded using services such as https://blocktrades.us/, allowing your earnings to be converted to Bitcoin, Ether, and other ’stable’ coins. It’s a great way to build your crypto portfolio, building your wallet without any financial investment required.
Publish0x is another crypto powered blogging platform, that allows you to earn cryptocurrency such as ETH on it's platform. You can earn through blogging, as well as give tips for content that you would like to reward.
There's a signup process for new writers, and you may not get approved straight away (it's in beta atm), but you can still read articles, and earn a percentage of the rewards as crypto. It's another great way to begin to build your cryptocurrency portfolio.
Faucets are websites that drip a little crypto currency into your wallet daily. By visiting these websites and claiming your daily crypto you can build a small amount of cryptocurrency. Examples of Faucets include:
Pipeflare - ZEC, DOGE and FLR tokens available to claim when you visit their site regular. They have games that can be played to earn DAI tokens, and lotteries that you can enter also.
Free Bitcoin - Offers a daily game in which you can earn a small amount of BitCoin. Come back every day and earn a little more. You can play games or enter lotteries to potentially earn even more.
Faucets are a way to get into cryptocurrency if you don't have any money to invest, but they can be very time consuming, with very small rewards, unless you're very lucky!
If you have the discipline, then build into your routine visiting faucets on a daily basis, make it part of your lifestyle, and in a year or so you may have something to withdraw. It's a slow game but you've got to be in it to win it I guess...
It all comes down to how much time you have. If you can write, communicate and share your ideas, and have a little time to spare, then you can blog, or publish your way to crypto-success, without a financial investment.
I would suggest to a newcomer to the crypto world that they begin with Hive, without money to invest you will begin to build a cryptocurrency portfolio, find communities to engage with, and you'll definitely learn a lot along the way. Here's a great beginners guide to Hive to get you started...
Good luck!
