Clicking on faucets is like beating your head to wall. Its very hard to even earn 1$ by clicking faucets. I got bored from faucets and got to know that there is no income from this. but if you can make faucet and put some ads and promote well then you can make money by making such sites also.

Ah yes,

I am currently looking into this but have very little knowledge of computer jargon, terms and scrypt so it will be a while before I actually get something done about it. I've thought about also making a website with faucet lists from various altcoin faucets so I am actually investigating a lot.

Thanks for that.

for some startup buy a good level of account and start posting and discussing with people in this way you get to interact as well as earn at same time.
Don't buy too high level account as it will cost you more and don't post shitty things.

They allow buying accounts here? I'm surprised, thought all websites don't allow buying/selling accounts these days.

How much do the accounts even sell for in bitcoin? If they sell them for cheap enough I might buy one, but then again I highly doubt they would be that cheap. If I read correctly, as a newbie you can only have 14 posts every 2 weeks at maximum.

Faucet isn't worth your time & most altcoin ended as scam/failure.

As you know, most members in here earn bitcoin from signature campaign. Even the payment is small for newbie, it's still better than faucet or altcoin.
Also, there are many giveaway in this forum, you can check it at Games and rounds section.

Trading bitcoin is fast way to earn bitcoin, but you need some capital & skill to do it. Cloud mining & mining aren't good option even it's not scam because high bitcoin difficulty, mining maintenance & unstable bitcoin price.
Also, i think with your skill, you better think bitcoin as secondary job.

Yes, going to try signature campaign jobs when I get out of "newbie" classification. Being a "newbie" here is a bit intimidating. Warnings posted to other members from private messages(lol) and lack of respect from above "newbie" members is a bit shit.

I appreciate your input and advice.

all i can add is you should not thinking about bitcoin as your main job. what you do here or plan on doing should be your second job at best. because it is risky whether you want to do and online job and get paid in bitcoin or you want to invest for instance in trading cryptocurrencies. the market and the price alone creates an unsafe environment that you should only invest some extra money that you can afford to lose.

Unfortunately I don't have any IT skills other than turning on a computer and checking the internet, paying bills online and using social media.

i don't get why you are considering it then! you have to either know or have some sort of interest in these sorts of thing then consider it as a job.

In Ireland our computer classes consisted of those old big ass computers with MSDOSS and floppy discs and that was only for an hour a week. I'll keep on checking the internet for other stuff. Just wanted to see here if anybody had some ideas or would like to share knowledge.

Appreciate your input, thanks.

all i have ever learned from computer (from simple stuff to programming, graphic design or even complex mechanical simulations) i have learned on my own and through internet, and i live in a third world country with English as my second language.

p.s. if you are really interested in learning any specific program p.m. me and i can tell you how i learned it if it is in the list of programs that i know.

Thanks,

Will keep you in mind.

That's sad to hear and that really sucks but I guess it was part of your(or anyone's) journey as a newbie looking for various ways to earn bitcoins online. I also became a newbie that will do almost anything just to earn bitcoins (except buying) and I've experienced what you've experienced. I've tried faucets, PTC sites, revshares, HYIPs/ponzis(incl. cloud mining sites), raping sign up bonuses, doing tons of referral programs and joining giveaways but I just end up losing my coins bcoz all of my earned bitcoins just went to ponzis and as a naive bitcoiner that has no idea how ponzi works, I'm just being scammmed.

But I still don't lose hope with bitcoins and fortunately found bitcointalk.org. I've got tons of advice, plenty of earning opportunities and myriad of ideas and knowledges. Definitely the best place to learn and to earn as well Wink

Just explore this forum, particularly the marketplace section. Good luck!

Yes, loosing your coins on ponzi scams and scam cloudmining sites especially when it looks like your doing well and your getting some payments is very disheartening. At times I've said to myself that I was going to throw the towel in with bitcoin but I'm determined to keep going. In life, everything is a learning process and learning from mistakes, although costly, makes us wiser and less vulnerable to repeat scams.

Looks like I'm in a good place with this site anyway.

Op, the only way to profit from faucets is to establish referrals network or be able to suck multiple faucet at one time. Other than than if you are just sucking one faucet at a time you are doing it wrong.
In general faucets are huge waste of time so you will be better without them. Also you need to understand that bitcoin is money like every other currency, no one is gonna give you great opportunity to earn it for free.
If some service is too good to be true - then it is probably scam. Be advised.

Yes, I have learned a valuable lesson already. Now looking just to work for bitcoin. I do spend a percentage of my fiat earnings on bitcoin every week. Just looking for other option and ways to make it grow and also earn at the same time by working.

Thanks for advice.

It's all fine and well trying to get free bitcoin but the amount of time spent of faucets doesn't really pay. You would be better of earning real money and turning that into bitcoin. Remember everyone wants to make money from bitcoin and if they can make money of you they will.

Buying a highly ranked account sounds so scammy idk why people are suggesting it...

I lost 1.12 my first few weeks into bitcoin just recently. Should've used my coin in the marketplace as intended but Ore-Mine and such drew me...

Got about 0.3 in some seemingly-honest hyip games now cuz I'm already numb. Tongue

And yes, just recently quit faucets! Shiny new Jr. Member status so it's sig campaign time! Tongue

I don't think it sounds scammy if your only purpose of buying is to join that account for signature campaign, which is the reason why people suggest it. Though some people take advantage of its high rank and use to deceive and scam people. Its still a good idea if OP can manage to discuss and post constructively

This user is currently ignored.

Ouch, 2 btc is quite a lot to lose.

Re: faucets, given the low barrier of entry, it's not surprising that you earn little from them.

Can you direct me to an article on what you mean by 'sign message'? I understand PGP if that's what you're referring to but not what signing messages means.

PGP is another thing.
sign message is used to verify that you sent the bitcoins(verify your address that you are owner of the address) to vendor in case of dispute.
The signature generated is unique to the address and to the message. He can then verify the message and see if the text is correct then it is claimed that you are owner of that address.

Jesus!!! I lost (I would estimate) about 2 btc throughout the last year on cloudmining sites, it's really soul destroying but a very important lesson learned. I hate to see or hear of anyone being scammed especially when you trust a site that pretends to be a business that can make you money. It also gives cryptocurrencies a bad image for most people, I mean most of my friends won't go near bitcoin as they all believe it's a big scam. I have made some money from referrals and some of the cloud mining sites but nothing to high five anyone about. I know it can be done so I'm gonna stick around for a bit longer.

Cheers for the input.

I don't know if it's worth getting worked up about, but the fake faucets vs fake clicks situation is becoming ridiculous.

I found faucets great at the start as a good way of learning the ways and workings of cryptocurrencies but now it is a real pain. There are good faucets out there but way too many starting up and not working well. It's just all that clicking and bookmarking and deleting again. Does my brain in.

Thanks for all the info guys. I can't reply to everyones post as I'm on a time limit with posting as a newbie. Got really good advice to start with so will go through it all. I think I'll get more involved here and give new things a go.

Thanks again.

Nah man, you should use escrow to buying that account. and don't forget the sign message, because it's reall important for buying an account. losing 1.12 is big though.
