It's always nice earning something for just doing your regular stuff. Now it's easy to earn crypto for web searching, and browsing as normal.
Earn Crypto For Searching Using Presearch
Want essentially "free money"? Let's talk about Presearch.org. You earn the PRE token with every search (up to 30 paid searches per day).
You create an account with them and add Presearch to your Brave Browser as an extension. Choose it as your default search tool, allow Brave to automatically log you in, then search as normal. Your PRE balance will slowly increase as you live your online life.
Sync your Presearch account across all your devices to avoid missing out. I've added a little Presearch shortcut to my phone's home screen, and it really isn't any more hassle to use Presearch rather than the default Google search bar.
I've been using Presearch for around 1 month, and have already earned 14.24 PRE, which at current market value is approx $4.62 at $0.33 per PRE (the whole crypto market has just tanked a few days ago though, and it's all time high was around $0.81).
Certainly not big money at all, but it's money for doing exactly what I would usually do for zero rewards, which feels great. Over the course of a year it will mount up, and if the PRE token moons in a bull run, those free rewards could suddenly be worth a chunk more.
Using Presearch is just as efficient and fast as regular searching. The search results seem to be as effective as Google too, and if you want a different approach you'll find instant links to other major search providers right there.
Brave Browser And BAT Rewards
If you are not already using Brave Browser - you really should!
It is compatible with all Chrome add-ons, but has improved privacy features and has ad-blocking built in.
It even keeps track of how many ads and trackers it's blocked, bandwidth saved and an estimate of how much time it has saved you. Check out my stats below for just one computer since August 2021!
1.7 Hours of time saved pleases me greatly. It generally feels like a smoother experience than other browsers to use, and I can only assume that's reflecting the 121,550 ads and trackers it's blocked.
Instead of being bombarded with regular ads you sign up for "Brave Rewards" and are served a different set of adverts, in a much less intrusive way.
The major advantage is that you earn some Basic Attention Token (BAT) for every advert you are served. You can connect it to your Gemini account to trade or just hodl.
It soon mounts up without you noticing - since September 2021 I have amassed a total of 16.89 BAT which at current market rates is $17.27. Again, we're not talking big money, but bear in mind this is purely for receiving non-intrusive, privacy-respecting ads while I'm browsing online, and normally I would be earning nothing at all from this.
The biggest benefit though is the improved feeling of online happiness - It no longer annoys me when I get served an advert, as I know I am actually earning a cut of the ad revenue. This feeling is golden and genuinely makes surfing the web a more pleasurable experience. This improved mood is worth much more than the $17.27 I've earned haha.
You can sync Brave across all your devices, and all BAT rewards are automatically deposited to your Gemini account.
These two easy additions to your online life feel as close to earning free money as you can get. Over the course of a year of just doing your thing, the rewards will accumulate enough to treat yourself to something nice!

All the best,
