I thought off topic would be the best place to post this because of how unwelcoming some other parts of the forum are when it comes to discussion.
Anyways, I'm trying to make a point here. I hope I'll help some people by putting that out.
Whether you're new to bitcoin or not I'm sure that you've heard of bitcoin faucets. Now let's get started with how those websites work: First of all, those websites attract users with one way or an other. In our case, FREE BITCOINS. Sounds good right? We've all visited such a website at least once.
But why would a website be set to automatically pay out bitcoins for each one of it's visitors? Well you're actually paying them to get paid.
Each time you get into this page, every time you see an advertisement into this page, they're earning. And they're earning much more than what you do. Have you ever thought how much time you would need to spend in faucet/pay to click etc. Website to earn the equivalent of $1? And while you're doing that the ads you're viewing are paying the website owners an amount like 10x of what you're being rewarded. There is no other way for those websites to work out.
So now that you know that you're actually not going to earn anything from "free bitcoin" websites, you should find some other way to spend this time you were wasting. Do you still want to earn something? I'll be listing some more effective ways to earn bitcoins. Be careful though.
Earn means that you'll have to work for it, no one is going to throw money at you for no reason.
At this point you should ask your self if you have any particular skills you can maybe take advantage off. Like coding, website building, video editing, languages, or even writing!
There are countless tutorials for how to get started with worldpress.
Worldpress is an amazing tool for blogers. After you install it to your website it's really easy to put out content and make the environment look atractive for visitors. If your writting is good and you have something interesting to write about then all you need is some self promotion. You don't need millions of visitors to have a respectable ad revenue.
If you don't really want to run your own website then why not write for someone else? Big websites that feature articles can't have content from a single person. They need people to write for them! It's not hard to send an email detailing what you could write about and asking if they would be interested.
If you have some skills you think people would be willing to pay for then why not thy one of those?

But if you wouldn't like to get in all the effort just to earn some coins, well then you can still spend your time productively. Why not learn something?
Check out
https://www.edx.org/course-list University professors give free online courses there. You can even get some sort of certificate! There's sure going to be somethint to interest you in there. If not,
http://www.codecademy.com/ is a really nice way to get into code. Or maybe even learn a language at
https://www.duolingo.com/ It really makes learning a new language seem easier.
So yeah that was it. I know writting guides is not my specialty but I'm really hoping this is going to help some people out.
