Have you wanted to make money in cryptocurrency but not had the technical background to do it? I’d like to write to you about some ways to make money that anyone can do.
Steemit
Ok, obviously. Next!
Community Manager
Every ICO or startup has a social media or messenger presence that needs some moderation. This is often done by a part time helper in exchange for tokens. It’s a great way to get to know people, and you definitely don’t need a programmer to do it.
What you need:
Good communication skills
High availability
Basic knowledge of scams
Patience
Friendliness
Product Tester/Breaker
I’m making this job title up, because it is sort of what I do: try out various products and see how well they work. I tried Steem in August of 2016 and got 13 cents; because I was too busy I didn’t come back to the platform for another 10 months.
Things I Tried:
I’ve also used The Viral Exchange to earn some cryptocurrency for Tweeting (I don’t do this anymore) about various crypto. They used to pay out in the tokens of the platform exclusively, but now you usually get paid in TVE tokens, which I’m not interested in. YMMV, so take a look. Stratis was on here giving tokens for people to watch Youtube videos about the product, and I picked up 6 of them once I saw that each token was going for a couple bucks before the promotion ended.
Earn.com is an interesting site that pays users cryptocurrency for completing email tasks. This is definitely not for everyone, although some living in very poor areas may find it worthwhile. You can use my affiliate link and I’ll make a little Bitcoin, and then if you get your friends involved you’ll make some Bitcoin off of them, etc. It costs only your time, so if that is worth more than about $10/hour, skip Earn.com for now (although you can still get a free email account to screen your emails if you want to do that).
Cryptocurrency Bounties
Bounties are rewards offered by ICOs for specific tasks done. These tasks vary from translating the whitepaper into a foreign language to finding bugs in the platform. There are a lot of non technical bounties to be earned. Psst, Steemians, some of the most lucrative bounties involve writing about an ICO. Make sure you aren’t breaking any laws (providing investment advice is a no no in the US unless you are credentialed), but sharing an ICO with your audience doesn’t need to be “BUY NOW and GET RICH!”. You can simply share what a new project is doing in the space. Only pick those projects that you can write honestly about-you don’t want a guilty conscience over a few bucks shilling a token you think is garbage.
The Bitcoin talk forum is worth signing up for as well. Many bounties include using autosignatures on your Bitcoin talk posts that help give them attention.
Attention is the currency Silicon Valley needs. They need you. Don't forget that.
IRL (In Real Life) Community Manager
If you’re a fan of Meetups, why not begin holding a regular meetup in your area on something you love?
Start with free. Go from there as you expand.
Being the person who can introduce others who are all interested in the same topic is an important role to have. This can lead to serendipity and new opportunities that you don’t expect.
Go, Make Friends, Earn Money!
As you can see, there are plenty of opportunities for entrepreneurs to make some money in cryptocurrency right now, without knowing a lot about coding. If you’re young, consider learning to write code, but that doesn’t need to be your focus. As I’ve shown above, there are plenty of ways to make money in this space. Use what is most unique to you to build a niche that nobody else can fill.
