*Ahem*
Earning an extra USD$1,200 a year can be broken down to the task of earning: USD$100/month or merely USD$3/day and some change.
Side note: In preparation for two upcoming posts on Nigeria & Namibia, I am going to start including fiat snapshots of these two African countries.
Above calculations work out to be:
₦1,156.80 or NAD$49.80/day
₦34,704 or NAD$1,494/month
₦416,448 or NAD$17,928/year
... cost of living adjustments aside, it's a stark comparison.
The topic of this post constitutes as a bonus passive income ides that could potentially come in handy in a pinch; but do not (currently) yield enough to pay the average rent.
There are many ways to earn income; but not necessarily that many to do so passively.
By passive, I mean:
1. After initial set up, earnings rain in without extra effort
2. Income comes in 24/7
3. Last and probably most important: Earnings can be withdrawn & used within 48 hours
All this with my personal added scrutiny -- "is this income scale-able" -- without breaking the site or diminishing my earning potential?
Mining may come to mind for many, or even running Masternodes (Mmm ... Energi Masternodes); but no, I'm not talking about either of those today; nor am I listing Presearch, Brave Browser, or even Publish0x today.
The list below are a few sites that can help you earn that extra +USD$3/day (₦1,156.80 or NAD$49.80). Let's begin!
Idle Empire
Idle Empire can be pretty much summed up as: "Swagbucks on steroids where you can cash out into Crypto same day"
This site has several ways to earn +USD$3/day by itself -- though since surveys aren't passive, and involve a little soul-selling, I'll stick to the passive techniques -- but in short, I honestly this site to cash out Crypto and other gift cards immediately, for cheap or free (linking other accounts to it in the process). ... and they DO have A LOT of selections.
Especially since the next mention on the list may be the most lucrative of them all ...
HideoutTV
This site is pretty straight forward: leaving videos running 24/7 runs up the viewer counter so Content Creators get "views".
Some I DO watch, but after falling asleep and waking up to this ...
... it definitely made me realize that viewers aren't paid to watch the videos, but rather to NOT skip the Ads.
This all works out to about USD$0.10/hour (₦38.56/hour or NAD$1.66/hour) in gift cards to basically watch tutorials & vlogs like one would do on YouTube.
Other Crypto are available to cash out in -- including Ethereum, Basic Attention Token and Dogecoin among others; for a zero transfer fee, users can send their Crypto to their Coinbase accounts.
... but there's a site that might have a a rivalry in Crtpto selection:
Coinpot
Yes, most of us have probably already made a decision concerning collecting Crypto from Coinpot tokens.
The "Crypto Faucets" that dole out pieces of Crypto, which thanks to depreciation increase in value; since the site managers are more interested in advertising revenue, they give out free Bitcoin Core, Litecoin, Dash, Dogecoin & Bitcoin Cash; to entice HodLers into clicking their way through Captcha verifications to a potential USD$400/year in Crypto payouts ... only Crypto though, no gift cards or fiat.
Before I go any further on the subject -- I wanted to direct your attention to Thomas Wolf, who has gone to lengths to describe the process in detail (linked here), and probably earns more than I do per day from it (0.00008BTC or 8,000 Sats or ₦308.48 or NAD$13.28).
Conclusion
I did want to add S'more to this list ...
...but even though it is passive, USD$0.10 (₦38.56 or NAD$1.66) in gift cards per day isn't as helpful as the above mentioned sites.
Whether any of these were useful, or just an amusing diversion, I hope this proved informative in the very least. Thank you for reading, and I hope you stay safe!
