Hello again dear reader, and thank you. Seriously, I like to write, and seeing that my ~2wks of blogging has gotten me almost 8k reads is amazing. Pat yourself on the back, you're awesome. So, earning crypto. Here's a few different ways I've found that aren't a scam, and aren't gambling. First up, we have 2key smart-links. <- That's one in fact (it leads to an articale regarding 2key's intergration with kyber network's automated liquidity pool.) The author at Kyber specified a budget for sharing his article, we'll say 100 tokens. If 5 people shared it and I was one recipient, we assume the other 4 got 1 click, and so on. so those 100 tokens are now split between us all, all the way down the chain; immutably and automatically by the smart-contract issued to track and reward the distribution of that link. This can work the same way with sales, if I'm selling products online, I can issue you an affiliate link, that you can leverage into a smart-link, and the percentage of your commission that you determined is then distributed through the others sharing your link.

Conisdering that I'm writing a making crypto article, its definitely worth mentionng, that if you don't write here (thx for the follows, I see your no posts though lol) you should. Am I making loads of money, no, but over the past 2 weeks or less, a little of my time I'm not otherwise using has nabbed me about 10$, but has also grown my audience exponentially. So that's a layer of value all it's own. But, its likely I'll take the DAI and LOOP and stake them to earn interest, then continue improving my blog, getting my tips, and having more tokens to stake. Rinse, repeat, make a few bucks.
Definitely the most lucrative, but also the most difficult at times, BOUNTIES BOUNTIES BOUNTIES, Especially Hackathons, which are happening damn near all the time. If you have even basic programming skills, you can make a good salary by working on the bounties you choose to work on. During hackathons, its not uncommon for single bounties to be rewarded by thousands of dai. To explore open bounties go to one of the following platforms:
Bounties.network | gitcoin.com | nimbus.team (nimbus is an implementation for eth 2)
While I'll save the in-depth NFT explanation for anopther post, I will point out if you're a creative, you should tokenise ur work and sell it; the reason I mention it, is if you're at all familiar with social media marketing or have a fair bit of klout, you can use Opensea.io's affiliate system with nearly any NFT to earn a commission, as well as potentially resell the item at a higher cost. There are people making a fair level of profit from flipping NFT's already, though I don't think I've yet sold an NFT I didn't create. I'm HODL'ing hard on those.
Another good opportunity is to freelance for cryptos. The obvious example would be BTC or ETH, but for a more interesting opportunity you can issue a personal token on a bonding curve to accept as payment, and when people add their eth to the pool to issue your token, the value of the token increases. As an example, I recently was offered some graphic design work, and requested to be paid in $goose; the client sent the proposed value in eth directly to the smart contract tied to my ens at stakeonme.brucethegoose.eth and received their tokens. Having added to the liquidity pool, they also increased the tokens value and were able to pay me the USD value for the work and still get to HODL their goosecoins. There's a much more in-depth paper on $goose in my blog.
if you need any writing/commissioned art/graphic design/web design or other content generation or marketing campaigns done, just get some $goose and get in touch! It's also fairly common that I have a timeslot tokenized and available for auction on Microsponsors. As always, I appreciate your time taken to read this. I hope I could offer some new knowledge~
One more notable mention is Grow Your Base, which rewards you their native crypto for learning about NFTs and then allows you to buy said NFTs for the tokens you've earned. Today I became the (i think) second ever individual artist to partner with them, providing an exclusion artwork only obtainable there.
