Bitcoin is money. You earn Bitcoin just like you would with any other way you would earn money.

You won't get Bitcoin for free. While it seems that faucets and micro earnings are just giving away money for free, you are actually wasting your time on getting nothing. The payments are much too low to amount to anything, and if you do amass enough, the transaction fee required to spend the Bitcoin is simply too large.

Earn Bitcoin by doing whatever else you would do to earn money. You can:

• Sell goods in exchange for Bitcoin
• Offer a service in exchange for Bitcoin
• Beg for Bitcoin and hope that people give you some out of the kindness of their hearts (against forum rules, don't do it here)

With regards to mining, you cannot mine with CPUs or GPUs. You need specialized mining ASICs and cheap electricity in order to even make a profit.

Those are not mining pools, those are cloud mining. Cloud mining services are generally scams and you should avoid them like the plague. If there were actually profit to be made off of mining with their hardware, why would someone then proceed to rent out their hardware to others instead of mining for themselves?

+1  This is great advice for newbie's to consider.  I stopped chasing "dreams" and started working to earn fiat then buying BTC long ago.  It won't take too long and you'll have multiple BTC in your "collection".  Then you can start leveraging if you want to.  Thats how I did it many years ago.

Create a twitter account, get some followers, go to the altcoin section and participate in twitter bounties. Follow some campaigns, retweet their posts, you will get paid in the chosen currency. Hold the coins for some time or sell them for btc as soon as they go to the exchanges. It is the easiest way to earn at least something. 5 minute job every day

Good advice indeed. I did not get this kind of advise when I was starting with bitcoin and the best advise I got is to earn "free" bitcoin through faucet. What a waste of time.

If I may add, I would have love to say, join signature campaigns, but since you are a newbie its not possible. Maybe you want to visit this link as well: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777912.0 ->> 100 Ways To Earn Bitcoin. You check that link and see what fits your need. Goodluck to your journey in bitcoin world. Also stay away from cloud mining they will just scam you.

This, this, this. How to make money from nothing and doing nothing? You can't. Many people will try to tell u that u can... so they earn on you .
Be carefull and remember only hard work gets u money (bitcoin).

I have the same question. If those devices can really make profit, it's logical that the device owners want rent out them instead using them.

But I had heard that a cloud mining service (I forgot its name) does operate such a business legitimately. I don't understand that.

Here bitcoin earning is limited to the payment purpose and earning by mining technology , but it is a part of the Earnings ideas in the world and so here not any lack of the earnings ways . Here I have the most working ways to make earning .
1) Trading ( but need Investment)
2) Blog about the bitcoin .
3) Own Facucet site .
4) Make experience in the bitcoin and join signature campaign for the earnings .
5) launch your own altcoin ( but needed much understanding to program your coin )
 These ways are the most and perfect ways for the earning , if you will go for another earning ways then definitely you need to invest in bulk amount of money because you can get success through hardwork or Investment , choice is yours .

I guess other than mining and doing nothing.. you should try joining a campaign.. it could give you a right amount of bitcoins without using alot of effort.. although mining depends on your computer specs and you don't really have to do anything because the computer will do it by it's self.. but i suggest that you should join a campaign

[Vishnu.Reang]

There are a lot of options other than bitcoin mining. I have tried mining, and my experience wasn't that good. Mining is profitable only if you can spend quite a lot of money in the beginning.

[NiHaoMike]

I would suggest mining an altcoin that is actually easy to profit from and then exchanging for Bitcoin. Storj seems to be the least demanding (even a Raspberry Pi can profitably mine it) and can be easily exchanged for Bitcoins.

[lizardbtc]

If you want to include some risks, you can try to trade with altcoins which can bring profit and on the other hand it can create losses. This can be a nice place to start if you want to understand the markets in general : http://www.investopedia.com/

If you decide to trade with them, best would be to start to learn about trading and about possibilities that other coins have. Learn what pump and dump is and never go for a coin that you don't really understand what it is. This is also a waiting game, don't expect to turn money around within 1day or so (although this is possible but you really need to know what you are doing and to understand the possible risks).

The world is full of problems just waiting to be solved. So find one and solve it. There all sorts of opportunities to help people with all sorts of problems and most will pay you. Build up some social media account and try supporting your favourite coin to increase it's value. Tell the coin Dev what you doing and they might even reward you a nice amount. The work is not that hard it's easier then signature campaign and makes more. Good luck friend

[Bestname]

you won't be able to get free bitcoin nowadays, but if you'd like to buy without painfully long verification process you could use localbitcoins.com

[p0int_scale]

thanks every1 for the help, didnt think ppl would still reply to this but its helped me

[tigershark]

Signature campaigns or trading are probably the best ways to earn bitcoins. The problem with trading is that you have to already have bitcoins in order to trade.
