Advice on honest earning

[Spinedok_1]

Good Day,

Thank you for this forum, and for al the valuable information shared on this platform.

I am from South-Africa where Crypto is still looked at by many as one big scam and people do not open themselves to broaden their views and knowledge on topics. our exchange rate to the American dollar is also not very good, thus making crypto investment very difficult for most to afford. I am a financial advisor and I believe that Crypto will be part of the future for as long as I will be alive.

I would like to prove to my work colleagues and to the circle of people in my industry that one can diversify your portfolio by including Crypto s part of your portfolio. I found that Ethereum is something that I can explain nicely to people and the technology that it is based on. I think just concentrating on one Crypto for now, would make it easier to get my point across.

I would like to find out how I can earn Ethereum if there is just no savings to purchase ETH with or mining equipment, I am not looking for hand outs, just for some assistance, even if I can just hold two or three ETH, and prove a 4 to 5 year long term holding the Crypto, and what a financial impact it can make on the lives of many people in South Africa, which is not a wealthy nation.

Is there work that one can do, to earn ETH? I am willing to work to to just start my project of proving that Crypto can make dreams come true if you do your research and trade well.

Thank you for your time.

If you have any skills which you can offer to others and be paid in crypto, then you need to present what you know how to do. It's not enough just to write a nice welcome message.
If you haven't any skills which can be interested here or it's possible to do it online, probably the only option for you is to check the bounty section here and try to find yourself in any of them.
Here is also micro earning section, where you will find several ways to "free" crypto, but these are generally very small amounts and it will be hard for you to touch your goal "two or three ETH".

Keep on your mind, most major cryptocurrencies have a certain value and are very easily converted into real money. as with real ^FIAT money no one shares it for free, it is the same with cryptocurrencies.

Hi examplens,

Thank you so much for the  reply, still finding my way around this forum, I do design work and video editing as a hobby and part time income. I will do some more research on projects where my skills can be used, and where payment might be in ETH.

it is already something else, now we know your interests. For example, Click on this link, you will find a design contest, so if you’re a creative designer, maybe you can participate.

I suggest you open a thread where you will present something of your previous work. Also, you don't have to insist on paying in ETH. It's very easy to convert any crypto into ETH.

Thank you examplens,

I will head over to these links and see if this might be the start of my journey. All of the best.

The design contest linked above has already ended and the winners selected (examplens must have missed that). However, if you look around enough in the service section, you will discover contests that you can engage in, this is an example of one that is currently ongoing - Roobet.com |Sporty Roo Art Comp. ~$5000 up for grabs! | 10 Winners - 1 Month!
The manager, Hhampuz who posted that thread organizes a lot of those contests.

Also, explore starting your own service thread to offer your skills.P.S, this section is for posting actual services, discussions on how to go about it would be posted here - Service Discussion. You can move this thread using the 'move topic' option at the bottom left of this page.

Yes you are right. I messed it because both of them managed by Hhampuz for Roobet.
You posted proper link.

I don’t want to question your skills, but do you know what the amount is when you say you want to earn 2 or 3 ETH? We’re currently talking about an amount of $7000 to $10 000, and any price increase means an even bigger amount of money.

In addition, in 4 or 5 years that coin can be worth 5 or 10 times more than today, but also 10 times less, so you need to take that fact as one of the possible outcomes. I'll just add that I personally would only bet on Bitcoin in the long run, but don't let that discourage you - the coin you're thinking about was worth about $7 in early 2017.

Its simple, if you don't have any money to buy the cryptocurrency then you need to offer some kind of service and get ethereum or any desired cryptocurrency as your payment. So earning is based on the jobs no matter its a fiat or cryptos but people think that cryptos are digital so they can get it for free that is where the beginning of scammers era.

I am from South-Africa where Crypto is still looked at by many as one big scam and people do not open themselves to broaden their views and knowledge on topics.

The problem is not peculiar to just South-Africa, it's more or less everywhere, and the media in my opinion is to blame for all of that, Bitcoin is more often than not highlighted on a bad note, either as a scam, an aid to criminals, being inimical to the environment, etc, with all this erroneous things making the rounds about Bitcoin on the internet, people who hardly do any research just believe it wholly and thus form a wrong perception of the network.

even if I can just hold two or three ETH, and prove a 4 to 5 year long term holding the Crypto, and what a financial impact it can make on the lives of many people in South Africa, which is not a wealthy nation.

If I'm to be honest with you, you actually do not have anything to prove to anybody, if you want to invest in the network, do so cause you've done your research and cause you believe in the network, if you have it in mind to prove doubters wrong, you may sadly run into mistakes. Having said that, do not also forget that you should only "invest what you can afford to lose", if "two" or "three" eth is more than you can afford to lose, I'd advice you to cut down on your ambitions, and then again, despite crypto being a great option, do not also forget that there are risks inherent in the network, risks you must study and understand fully before jumping in.

You are already doing honest work with your design works all you need is to market your work more and at the same time work to improve on your skills to feet into the modern challenge.

Any services or goods you can do and deliver online can be charged in crypto. This is exactly the initial concept behind Bitcoin, simply sending money between parties without involving an intermediary. All you need to do is determine the skills you possess and want to offer in the market, then find an effective way to market them. There are plenty of market places where you can display your talents. For example, you can showcase your services on your own personal website or you can open your own shop with an online portfolio. The more you choose the focus area of your business, the better the way you can sell and market your services. This will help you manage your time properly.

I would like to find out how I can earn Ethereum if there is just no savings to purchase ETH with or mining equipment

Mining is risky and if the capital you use to invest in mining equipment is not your unused capital for a few years. It takes you many months to get your investment capital back and the longer or shorter the period is, it will depend on price of Ethereum on the market as well as general trend of market.

With mining equipment, and volatile market, if the market turns to bad (bearish), you will have to sale off your mining equipment.

It is easier and more convenient, time-saving for you to enter and exit with ETH directly on the market. Buying and selling it, I meant. You don't have to rely on miners to sell your mining equipments

You have helped so much with the information and your inputs. Like all things in life hard work will equal success, and ensuring that you keep up to date with market trends and the influencers of the market movements of Crypto, so that you can make informative and educated decisions when starting your crypto journey,.

Thank you for your time.

Yes there are. Some offered services but its better if you have skill on something can be useful here like designing signature codes, playing with smart contract or building some dapps. Some users here looking for some talent and they make them an offer. But I do hope next time, you see the forum for discussion purposes about relevant topic especially bitcoin, and not just an earning ground.

[Spinedok_1]

Hi cryptoaddictchie,

Thank you, my post might have come across wrongly, I will definitely be using the forum to gain more knowledge of the topic. I like the feeling of gaining success through work, and I will find my way to the correct opportunity, to get involved in my journey with crypto.

Not really, but your account is so new, its quite not okay to talk about earnings already. If you are that devoted then start by incorporating first useful topics and or some valuable details. Its not wrong to find a way to earn but do it I guess subtle that your focus is gonna be more on joining healty discussion instead a job.

You might want to stop doing this or you might end up thanking just everyone that says to have contributed something positive in your thread which in a way could result in spam and again, you might live the rest that weren't recognised with the impression that, there comments were not at all valid. It wouldn't be such a good picture to paint.

There is no better way to learn something than results. Results that can come in a way of you actually earning from the advices and secrets to have been thrown at you but then, earning not to loose is where most other lessons that doesn't deal with you actually earning but security comes in. The more reason why many security topics and how to stay of the hooks of acammers are discussed in bitcointalkforum. It is of the most importance that you learn this things before you get consumed by the desire to earn. Soil your hands and do the digging for knowledge.

There's nothing wrong with thanking another person if they've helped them with something, and I don't think there's any spam in this case - because he addressed everyone in one post - after all, there's nothing wrong with behaving like humans, and not like robots.

I appreciate the approach that the OP has, because many do something first, and only then seek advice - and then it's usually too late to do things right.

Your too serious mate. Whats wrong thanking someone if he did helped him or appreciated his advised? Everyone is just overwhelmed by that simple suggestion and its also worth noting to those commented. Nothing wrongs for me.

after all, there's nothing wrong with behaving like humans, and not like robots.

Probably from others perspective OP is bit introducing a drama but comments like his, is what we called a naturally inquiring guy. You can see if his just fishing some merit or really trying to ask out of his curiousity.
