Finding ways to earn money and resources outside of Hive is possible, perhaps more complicated, but they exist. I spent some time looking for airdrops, but ended up not getting much besides Grass and NodePay; maybe you remember that time, haha, I became an airdrop hunter and it was even fun.
Well, for some time now, along with my friend @gwajnberg, I've been looking for ways to earn something outside of Hive. After all, it's always good to have more options and opportunities, whether to get something from outside and invest in Hive or to invest in something else. Anyway, among Liquidity Pools, Depins, SocialFIs, and ways and games to get Bitcoin, I've focused only on 4, which, even if it takes a while to see a return, have a certain guarantee!
But why is guarantee important instead of speed? We always look for a balance between these two things, and I can say that what I've experienced is that, no matter how much something says it pays well or that there's a probability of high gains, it's useless if it doesn't materialize. I learned this from one gambling scam and two or three depin scams. Exactly, I invested little and lost little, but the stories of people who put a lot of money into something and suffered losses are many and sad.
In this post, I'll only introduce this new phase I'm following, but of course, as soon as I can, I want to post in more detail everything I've been doing, strategies (not everyone has an absurd one, you'll notice) and how my earnings have been.
I repeat: right now I'm not looking to get "rich" or astronomical sums; in fact, I want to make a lot of money, but wanting, doing, and then making it happen are three very different states. That's why I'm following this idea of trying to choose what's safest and has a relatively quick return.
The first one is the well-known Publish0x, yes, that's right. I've tried to avoid it many, many times, but I can't. Being a publishing platform, I think we can say it's a kind of social network, right? So, by posting in blog format, we'll earn some money there.
The ease here lies in the fact that you simply copy the text and images from one of your posts and paste them there. Choosing some tags like hive and hive blockchain, you set the source link to your post and that's it. I don't spend more than 5 minutes copying and pasting there and I've been trying to be religious about doing it.
The cool thing is that we have some active Hive members, like @rimurutempest, @katerinaramm, @pvmihalache, and @bhattg, so we can strengthen the community there, just like we do on X, on the Hive itself, and on other social media platforms. The power of the Hive is the community, and this can extend beyond our territorial boundaries. After all, by engaging on other networks, we can end up bringing in new people, and thus, we can maintain an incredible connection between everyone.
Secondly, and also nothing new, Honeygain. Many people are afraid of having their data stolen, they say it's dangerous and so on. What I can say is that I've been using Honeygain for months, maybe more than a year, I don't even remember, and to this day nothing has been stolen from me. Either I'm very poor and nobody wants to steal from me, or there's really no danger.
That's why I always recommend it, even if it takes a while to accumulate something. I consider the application safe, and since it's a Depin, you install it once and that's it. You leave it running on your machine and sometimes you even forget it's there. The secret, to give you a heads-up, is not to choose to accumulate $20 to withdraw via PayPal; I prefer to let it accumulate the $JMPT token, which has a good value (it's much higher than Hive's) and can be used for whatever you want, since you can withdraw it to any wallet.
Slice was a recommendation I saw here on Snaps, I unfortunately (again) don't remember who gave me the tip, but I liked it a lot. You install the extension for your browser and configure the frequency at which you want to see ads, they appear in the lower right corner and the more you see, the more SATS (satoshis) you earn.
I recently managed to reach $2 in SATS, but to protect myself and avoid fraud or anything like that, each winning you get is locked for 30 days. So, after 30 days, I could withdraw $1, which is what I did. This withdrawal can be made to Speed Wallet, PayPal, or a Lightning address, which, when I used it, has the option to withdraw to ZBD (I'll talk about it in the next topic), so I sent it there.
I don't know if it's possible to transfer to a Lightning address created elsewhere, for example, from a Muun Wallet, but ZBD is a well-known and trustworthy application, so I found it wonderful to be able to make this withdrawal to it!
Finally, it's ZBD itself! ZBD is a platform that hosts and connects many mobile games. As mentioned, even Slice is part of this ecosystem. ZBD is the central hub where you accumulate your SATS and can then withdraw them to a wallet (I use Muun Wallet), making it a reliable application. I don't necessarily focus on the games, but there's everything there: those surveys that bombard you with questions, a quiz to answer every 24 hours, and countless games where you earn SATS by completing missions.
I've only been doing the quiz, but it's good to keep an eye out because the games often have events that double the amount of SATS earned, so it might be worth searching for one you like and trying to get those double SATS. Many people love mobile games; I personally don't play much, but for those who love them, you can combine your passion with earnings in SATS!
So that's it, folks. The reference links are in the titles of each topic and at the end of the post, in case you're interested in trying something outside of Hive. So far, these are the ones with the most guaranteed return, even if it's small or slow.
If you have any suggestions, criticisms, or questions, please leave them in the comments and let's talk. We can help each other in some way; maybe it's possible to incorporate something that's yielding more, and so on. A big hug and thank you all!
