Are you, like me, looking for new proven to pay ways to increase your crypto portfolio in 2021?
Here are a few of my favourite ways to do so without paying out any of your hard earned fiat money. If you have a few suggestions of your own to share then please feel free to do so in the comments section at the bottom of of the page.
Exchanges
By far the best earners here are Coinbase via their Coinbase earn programme and Okex via their earn programme. You need to open a free account and pass the KYC check for both but they are relatively quick and easy to do and the rewards are both well worth the effort.
With Coinbase earn you are rewarded for watching a few short educational videos on a particular crypto coin or token then answering a simple question that is related to the video. Videos usually last around 3 minutes and there is rarely more than four or five to watch. You can usually earn around $3 to $10 worth of the currency the video is about for each set of questions, plus extra if you manage to refer others.
Okex earn is even simpler, you will have a daily list of 5 Web pages to open and leave open for 60 seconds. The content of each page is typically centred on how to get the best from using Okex. You can close the page after 60 seconds and you will be rewarded with 80 BTC Sats. Times this by 5 and you will earn 400 BTC Sats per day for about 6 minutes of your time.
Staking and Earning Interest
The easiest way to grow your portfolio, if you already actually own some crypto, is to invest it for staking and interest earning. There are many sites and Dapps out there that will allow you to do this but beware not all are legit Google them first to check them out before you invest in them.
Saying that though I have had very good returns from investing in StakeCube. Not only can you Stake and invest in shared masternodes through them but they pay some of the highest Interest rates in the businesses. Plus they have been established since 2018 and it is easy to withdraw your crypto as and when you want to do so. I have previously written an explanatory article on StakeCube which you can access here.
Faucet Sites
As I am sure that you are aware. Many faucet sires can be a frustrating waste of time or simply just scams but there are a few good ones out there. Here are my top four that actually pay out.
COINPOT, this is a long time established wallet plus collection of faucets to claim from. Your claims from the faucets go direct to your COINPOT wallet. You can then transfer your earnings to an external wallet of your choice once you reach the minimum payment level.
FaucetCrypto, possibly my favourite faucet site, certainly the one I use most often. It has crisp clear non intrusive user interface, lots of achievement and levelling up bonuses and is actually quite an enjoyable site to use. There are many currencies to choose from here to receive your payout in with very low minimum payout levels. I personally use the site for maybe thirty minutes a day and am usually able to withdraw small amounts of crypto every day.
PipeFlare, a nice neat and simple claim once a day faucet that pays out in zcash and dodge directly to your desired wallet. It also has its own token, the flare token, to claim which is held in your Pipeflare platform wallet.
GlobalHive, very similar to Pipeflare but pays out only in zcash directly to your desired wallet once a day.
PTC Sites
As a rule I tend not to use many dedicated pay to click sites as I find they can be quite time consuming to reach the minimum payment levels. However, I have had payouts from the two listed below.
CoinpayU, a good user friendly PTC site that pays out In BTC. When you reach 10,000 Sats.
MultiCoinAds, pays out in LTC, BCH, ETH and BTC when you reach the minimum payout level.
Web Browsing
We'd all like to get paid for our time spent browsing the web as most of us do this as a matter of course most days. I am sure that most of you already know about using the Brave browser that rewards you in BAT tokens when you choose to click on the adds that it shows. But are you aware of the NETbox browser?
The NETbox browser is a true paid to surf browser and pays you in NBX coins. No need watch or click on any adds to get paid just simply use the browser to browse the web. Simply the more you browse the more you earn.
Unfortunately though it is at the moment not available for Android or Ipad only for the PC. But, if you browse the Web using a PC it is well worth opening a free NETbox account and downloading the browser.
Gaming
Ever wanted to earn a few coins while playing games in your spare time?
Well there are lots Dapps and gaming platforms such as Litebringer or Prospectors where this is possible. But don't expect to earn a fortune, especially to start with. These sort of games tend to only really become profitable after you have spent many hours playing the game. Great if you enjoy playing the game and have plenty of time to do so. Not so good though if your main priority is to earn some quick crypto.
If you do want to earn some crypto quickly playing games you are far better off joining a games platform such as Wormplay where you will be rewarded with worm tokens that that can be exchanged for EOS. You will be rewarded for installing games, the time you spend playing the games and your progress within the games. Wormplay has many games to choose from including many peoples favourites Prospectors and Elvenar plus they they are all free to play.
Alternately, you should look to installable game apps such as the Bling franchise of games. Bling have a variety of games such as a bubble shoot, blocks or the card game patience that you can play for a few minutes at a time during your quieter times to earn a few Sats of BTC and they pay out quickly.
On a separate note, one Game I would highly recommend just for the fun of playing it is Skyweaver. Still in playable beta format you will have to request a game play pass from their Discord account to be able to play. The game will, when it leaves playable Beta status allow you to earn crypto. How much and how quickly I don't know it's just a great game to play.
Blogging
There are other blogging sites around apart from PublishOx where you are paid to blog but by far the most profitable for me has been PublishOx so I would not bother to look elsewhere just sign up to PublishOx if you have not already done so and get paid to not only write but read as well.
Mining
I have purposely not included any mining sites in this article purely because although I have signed up to a few sites that give away free Hash power I have yet to realise a position where I am eligible for a pay out with any of them.
Hope that you have found my article interesting and helpful. Looking forward to seeing your possible suggestions in the Comments section.
