Life of an Online Earner.

in introduceyourself •  8 years ago  (edited)

Hi, I am Dan. I am from Manila, the heart of a beautiful country named Philippines. I work as a data encoder, so basically I am always in front of a computer with an internet access. Sometimes I get a lot of free time when I have done all my work, and with all that time I am just surfing the net. A friend told me I could do something with all that idled time, so I listened to him. 

He first told me about a captcha work. Megatypers,  a work that needs a lot of practice in typing skill for you to earn a decent payment. It will take 1000 captchas which are sometimes blurry and cannot be understand to make a dollar.  I got weary of it then tried to look for something else.

Thanks to google for being a genius in answering or correcting your questions. Now, I got to this PTC's (paid to click job), I dont want to post some websites for that will add up to their advertisement. I got two PTC accounts where you click some boxes then advertisement will pop up on a new tab and there is a timer to when you can close it for you to be paid. One box will pay you $0.001 and again just like captchas it will take a thousand ads for you to gain a dollar. But I still continued for a friend told me that you can rent some referrals and that will be the key to earning more. I think it took a month or two for me to gain a referral. As I am on my way on making more money in it (thanks to my rented referrals) suddenly I forgot to click advertisements in two days. I didn't know that it will cost not to gain the profits from the referrals with an absent. Tried to get it back and lose more. At the end, I stopped it, it is stressing me and I got weary. 

Back again to google. Then there is this website called Sparkprofit where you predict commodities and currencies. There will be points and those points will be converted to money weekly. As you gain more points with correct predictions then your dollars could get higher. I am still doing this for it doesn't need a lot of work.

Now, another friend told me about a new way of earning a dollar. He said it will be faster now, so I got excited. He introduced me to a crypto currency which is bitcoin. Tried to teach me basics about it and the rest is for me to learn how it can be done. Invested some money in it, I took the risk because a good friend is also risking his own money and I am with him at work that is why I trusted him so if bitcoin falls we will not be blaming each other, for we both lose money. 

Then suddenly, bitcoin price went up and it didn't took a long time. We profited a lot of money just by putting our trust in it. It is really a blessing. There is this good part also where I gain more out of this crypto because my earnings from it are included. Where did I earn it? From faucets where you can get free satoshis (the smallest unit of bitcoin currency) it all added up and it boomed like I doubled my money. The biggest free coins I got is from bitcointalk where there is this signature campaign, you just attach the companies advertisement in your signature and they will pay you for every post according to your rank as long as there is quality in it. The better part is you will gain some knowledge with bitcoin and alternate coins also. With all of this money that I got I started to do something new and will be kind of risky again. It requires a lot of information in the crypto world and it is trading. Exchanging bitcoin to a different crypto currency, let it grow then exchange it back to my dearest bitcoin. Don't do this yet if you dont know what you are doing, I say stay with the free earning.

This was all way back a year ago or maybe 2 years, now bitcoin got a higher price and it is getting scary at $600+ per bitcoin.

But sometimes we just really need to take that big step even if it is risky.

Thank you for those who will read and I hope I can be some help for those who are just starting. This is not my whole day job I just do this with my free time.

God bless all of us and may great things come to all of you.

Thanks for the tip. I am still looking for a good photo.

No worries mate, glad to have you. Another tip too, if you haven't seen other posts with them yet, you should take a new photo of you, with a steemit logo and the date, to verify yourself. It gives you an extra level of authenticity and helps people to know you aren't just on here trying to scam them by sharing pictures and stories of other people. Best wishes and welcome again! :)
