Last week, I wrote about the questions I had as a interested newbie to the Crypto world.
Questions From a Newbie to the Crypto World
While it is all and good to simply google for the answers, read the many articles written about the subject and watch the countless videos on Youtube, sometimes one wonders if one would simply end up falling into the trap of communal reinforcement.
I decided that I needed to get some skin into the game. But being a very cautious person, or maybe it is because I just don't have any spare cash that I can afford to lose, I decided to look into the possibilities of "earning" some cryptos by spending some of my time in exchange for, yes you guessed it, some cryptos in return.
In one of his recent posts, Cryptonator`s Airdrop Hunt had written about how much he earned for the month of May.
Payday Is Funday! Here Is My Crypto Payouts Report
Quite impressive, though some of his earnings were from staking of cryptos with exchanges, and that involves some cryptos, which for the purpose of this post, is what I don't have at the moment, yet.
The following lists the various sites which I've explored. I'm not claiming they are the best, but these are what I'd tried and I will share my experience and how much I'd "earned" from them in the past month, as a newbie in my own free time. So without further ado......

#4 - Publish0x
Publish0x is a site where I can read and find out more about cryptos. Granted, some of the writing standards are not quite there, but there are some authors who put in a lot of research and efforts into their articles, which I enjoy reading. And I get to decide how much to tip both the writers and myself. Prior to me embarking on writing articles myself (this is my 2nd one), I earned a total of ~70 cents across the 3 cryptos (DAI, BAT and LRC) by reading and tipping. Not a lot, but hey, I am here to read the articles and I don't tip 80% to myself.
#3 - Cointiply
This site has quite a lot of avenues to earn some cryptos. From surveys to Point-to-Click (PTC) ads to faucets and many others. The 3 that I've listed are activities what I felt were worth my time, with no gambling involved. I get to earn Satoshis from these. In the past month, I earned ~$8 worth of BTC.
#2 - Brave Browser
There are a lot of articles here in Publish0x written about Brave and the BAT tokens. Brave is a browser that blocks out ads (where you don't get paid) and other trackers that violate your privacy and slow down the browsing. Instead Brave pays you for your attention to ads pushed down to you, with the number per hour to be decided by you. I'd installed Brave onto my PC as well as my mobile phone. Without any extra effort beyond my regular surfing, I earned ~$20 worth of BAT the past month.
#1 - BTC Surveys
This is a site built over the Theorem Reach survey algorithm (?). You get to earn BTC by completing surveys. Cointiply uses Theorem Reach as well but I earned more through BTC Surveys. The surveys vary from being screened out (100 Satoshis) to 20min of effort (highest I earned was 30000 Satoshis). The surveys were plentiful. I earned ~$30 worth of BTC through this site.

So all in all, I earned ~$60 worth of cryptos through the above channels in the past month in my free time. I'm not sure how this compares to others, but at least it gave me some cryptos to start with as I look next into the wallets and the staking, as I venture further into the Crypto World.
