How I Started Earning Crypto Without Spending a Single Rupee (As a Student in Sri Lanka)

By LazyEarnerSL | LazyEarnerSL | 19 May 2025


When I first joined Publish0x, I wasn’t a crypto fan or tech nerd. I didn’t know the difference between Ethereum and Optimism. Honestly, I signed up for one reason: to earn something online without spending anything.

As a broke A/L student from Sri Lanka, I’m always looking for smart ways to earn — but most platforms ask you to invest, buy courses, or commit hours a day. Publish0x was different. I could just read articles and tip, and I'd earn crypto in return.

At first, I didn’t even care what the articles were about. I was just here to click “tip” and watch the tiny earnings build up. But after a few days, something changed…

I started reading. Not just scanning, but actually reading.
Some authors broke down crypto tools in super beginner-friendly ways. Some explained how to set up wallets, avoid scams, or understand Bitcoin without going insane. Slowly, my curiosity grew.

Now, I won’t lie and say I’m deep into crypto — I’m not. But I do know more than I did a week ago. And I’m earning a little bit of crypto each day… for free… while still focusing on my studies.

🖋️ Verified Author — And a New Chapter Begins

 

Just recently, I got approved as an official author on Publish0x — and now I can share my own thoughts, ideas, and experiences with the world.
This means I get to not only earn by tipping, but also earn by writing articles like this one.

Even more than that, it’s a chance for me to develop my writing skills, practice storytelling, and maybe connect with others who are also on the grind — whether you're into crypto, productivity, or just trying to glow up as a student.

The best part?

  • 💸 No investment

  • ⏳ No huge time commitment

  • 📱 Can be done on mobile

  • 🧠 Actually teaches you something new

My plan now is to keep tipping daily, keep writing posts, and maybe even bring in some referrals. If things grow, I’ll cash out through Binance and convert it to LKR.


🎯 To Anyone Reading This

If you’re a student like me, trying to earn without risking anything — just start. You don’t have to know crypto. Just show up, read a few articles, click that “tip” button, and slowly learn as you go.

This post is my first one here. If you found it helpful or relatable, feel free to drop a tip 💚
Let’s earn and level up together.
