Topic: I'm newbie, few question inside (Read 1391 times)

There are still some places with internet cafe's or such.  Internet is normally a sign of better living (as it really is a luxury).  But some places like internet cafe's do exist in not so great places. 

Look at some MMO's out there people play them all day and sell items/money etc.   But they might consider that work.  I still don't think faucet is enough for anywhere.  But it is uprising some of the way's some have found to survive.

Some countries have really low living standards, I'm not surprised he's paying that.

Even cheaper places in China are much more than the 50. India and others as well. Wondering where he's from. He's got Internet so can't be too bad.

I think he's talking like 3rd world countries.  There are some that honesty a small amount of money might make you feel rich at.  But they can be FAR less then 1400 a month for decent living.  I'm guessing your talking about pretty developed country for 1400.

If you need more info it might sound stupid but look at those add's on tv.  Where it's like save a kid for what a cup of cofee costs a day.  Or places with factories of people doing jobs for very little pay, sadly things like sweat shops.  It's places like that where 50 dollars might be huge.  But if in US or lot of countries... yes 50 dollars wont get you much and run out much quicker then a month.

Where do you live where $50 is enough for a month? I had looked in the past but the cheapest I could find was ~1400/mo for a decent living.

I've spent a ton of time much like you doing my research and everyone has nailed it.

There's no quick/easy way at all to earn.

Faucets - slow / tedious unless you are a great marketer and can find a TON of referrals.  Then you might make a few bucks a month.
Gambling - can have great upside, and major downsides.  This is an easy way to lose any BTC you may have earned.  I stay away outside of some sports betting.
Sig. Campaigns - participate in the forum.  Try to provide actual useful information.  Avoid the trolls.  You can earn some lunch money on occasion if you aren't spamming.
Trading - much like gambling it can have great upside and large downsides.  With appropriate research and experience however you can mitigate the downsides.
Sell your services - do you have skills (usually in the tech field?)  Do some research, it's like you can find freelance work paying in BTC.  This might be the safest with the highest upside.  It does require work

I'd like to mention mining.  Its VERY hard to get any real hash rate for mining without laying out a large amount of cash.  But if you have some cash laying around and are willing to spend it and are in BTC for the long term.  You just have to plan on the BTC price increasing over time so that anything you mine now is worth much more later.  BUT you do have to take into account what you're spending on hardware and electricity as it is possible you'll end up not making enough to cover costs.

yes you are right I need some great research every play coins, because there are a lot of unexpected things in it. like the latter case, that they premine coins were stolen so the price becomes 10 sat from 2k sat.

but I also like to trade bitcoin

buy an account then, it's permitted, you only need a senior, no need to wast money on hero, or even a full member with a potential activity of a senior will do the trick and it will cost much less

Trading can be a 2way street though.  For everyone who sold and got the gain someone else bought the coin.  I know it's not quite that simple with values that can go up.  But a lot lose in alt coins.

You really need some great research, or info that a coin has something special to invest.  I personally like BTC as it's pretty stable. Most alt coins are not that stable.

I can get 30-45$/month in the signature campaign, it was small enough for living expenses. but you have to work smart, like playing trading. I can at least make more than $50/month. so I do not have to work outside, if at home better and closer to family and each day meet the family:)

If you have enough experience you can try trading, you could this way make some profit online.
Otherwise you can sell services and goods for Bitcoin, or investing in some trusted and paying systems.
Fauceting still the last choice because it requires long time and big effort.

A newbie account cannot earn that kind of money by posting. For newbie, there are not many good options.

Eh, I run under the principle of "work smart, not hard." Too many lazy people around these forums are hoping to become rich off nothing. Just like the real world, if you want to become a millionaire, you have to do it. Not hope everyone is going to hand it to you.

It's not fast, but it's easy if your alternative job is physical work instead of sitting at a desk. I would have to agree that there is no easy way to get bitcoin, bitcoin is money after all. 

The highest-paying signature campaigns end up resulting in a payment of MAYBE $30/month for a few hours of work. You can make MUCH more in the real world. I have no idea where "fast and easy" comes from when it's anything but.

You can get massive amount bitcoin from faucet if only you have ton of referral. And there is no secret for that.

For long term, you can join freelance project according with your skill that pay with bitcoin.

Trading: find an bitcoin exchange site that works for you:  bitstamp,  btc-e, cex.io.   Theory is easy: buy low, sell high. Practice a little harder 
Referral links: Many bitcoin companies offer a link that you can share. For every new user you get a comission %
Advertising: There are some services like a-ads.com,  coinurl.com and others. Put those on a website and you'll see some btc
Sales:  Use the sales board

Don't recommend gambling. It is nasty way to TRY and earn some quick bitcoins. In the end you will probably lose more than you think that you are winning but infact it is what you lost when you started 
Terrible cycle if you ever start.

Everyone keeps their secret how to make money fast, but most successfully that i saw are starting an exchange, a startup based on bitcoin, offering service and accepting bitcoin and trading these could be profitable.

Fastest way is buying bitcoin with whatever currency you have. Now if you are looking to start from scratch with no investment, faucets will get you some small amounts of bitcoin to get you started but as you said its really only a few cents here and there which makes it a long process. Truth is there are no fast and easy methods. Everyone you see with tons of bitcoin either bought it with cash, have a bitcoin business, trade, or somehow got extremely lucky gambling which is something that is not recommended.

One thing to realize is bitcoin is just another currency and not magical internet dollars. Signature campaigns are your best bet of making some coin that's above what you would get in faucets and is easy. Hang around the forums and explore and post. Eventually your account will become mature and you can apply for the better signature campaigns out there. Its a long process but definitely not a get rich quick scheme.
