Are bounty programs or airdrops more profitable to participate in?

[raidarksword]

Both of them are good to make money in crypto for free but it all depends of the project to say at least. I have been doing airdrop and bounties since 2016 and I must say that I earned decent money for past 6 years from it. My breakthrough was last year with civic airdrop that really gave me a big profit around $12k and that's all for free. That's why I never stop doing bounties and airdrop, who knows it might again another civic airdrop I will encounter this year.

like the one from Uniswap

You may have been lucky with that if you got a benefit but majority of bounty and airdrops hunting are waste of your time. There is no seriousness in the program from the team and developers alike. Some times for bounty, the manager hardly update spreadsheet for posters to know weekly update, this is a sign of unseriousness in my eyes. Is better to invest and wait for the bull and not to wait for bounty or airdrops that you will be asked for KYC and revealing your identity that will be used behind you for other purposes you don't know about.

if you still want to try then you need to be very picky, choose projects that are escrowed by a reputable bounty manager.

The only guarantee with escrowed token with the manager is that you get it distributed to your provided wallet but most times athe project to get listed and if it is not listed, the token stand in your wallet as waste. The team that is fraudulent don't bother about escrowing token with the manager because they know they don't intend to be listed, they just use hunters to advertise for free.

There are like hundred topics like this. In short - bounties arent profitable, but can be used to earn small money or will help to create a first crypto portfolio. From projects point of view - they are waste of budget, bounties now hardly help to attract capital. From hunters point of view - bounties are good to build a vision what is on demand on the market, but as a way to earn, they are very unreliable.

Can you make more money participating in bounties or airdrops? I made the most money doing airdops so far, like the one from Uniswap, but long term, I think bounties like the one from candlelabsdotorg will pay off better. What do you think? Which of these methods of earning free crypto should I pursue?

If you managed to earn more money from Airdrops than from Bounty, you are probably choosing your campaigns wrong. Airdrops are usually dust that is given away almost for free, and owners aren't interested in long-term growth at all. When it comes to Bounty Campaigns, it's also not easy to find an honest project, but if you do find one, I'm sure you'll earn more in the long term than with Airdrop.

Okay, thanks for the feedback. I did earn 25k CNDL so far, so I know this bounty pays out. As far as airdrops, I think there may be two classes of them, one for meme coins and low value token startups and another for large projects like L1s or Uniswap/Metamask tier airdrops. So maybe some airdrops are profitable but most of them are not. That's what I'm thinking at least. If you have the time though, I think you should definitely participate in anything you can to earn extra crypto.

You can't expect more from airdrops let alone bounties, you're just wasting time.  There are many other ways to make money in this industry.  
you better invest in altcoins there are many that lose 95% of their value.  if you are lucky you will get big profit in time

In my opinion, several bounty campaigns are still worthy to follow. Moreover, the bounty has fixed payment with top coins.
But if you are talking about bounty with the native tokens as payment or rewards, it seems to be 50:50. This may be worthy, or this may be shit. Many could earn money from the bounty. But behind the success, there were also many bad experiences of bounty, such as no rewards, scam projects, no listed tokens, shit projects, and others.
In this case, just be smarter when analyzing the bounty that will be followed.
It is also the same with airdrop.  But unfortunately, most airdrops are worthless

Maybe you should lock the other thread you made, OP since this is pretty much the same as you asked in the other thread as well.
Regardless if you're really looking for something to make living, it wouldn't be airdrops.
Lots of scams out there that would just waste your time if not wasting your money.

Not all bounties are giving profit to everyone here, though I cannot deny there are some bounty are giving payment in altcoins, and some are via bitcoin payment. And for airdrops, I am not sure about this if we can still get a giveaways for this one. Just be wise in choosing the new bounty campaign here in the forum. It maybe a waste of time to others but for bounties are not a waste of time especially if you know how to determine the legit one new projects.

The risky thing is that you are spending a good chunk of your time, but also you are missing out on entering another one as well. So, while you work hard and get paid nothing after 1 month of work, the person next to you may have spend the same time and effort and get paid hundreds of dollars instead.

It's not just about not getting paid, that could happen and that's sad, but when you add the fact that you could have gotten paid, that makes it even worse. I personally do not join them all that frequently, I rarely do but when I do it, the only thing I care about is getting paid, so that I wouldn't be upset about all the things that I could have done and missed during the same period.

bounty payment help us to collect money no matter that small or huge to buy our first crypto investment. Alot hunter here manage their reward from bounty in trading or long term investment. Everthing depend on our self how to make it growth so we will never blame our amount for bounty.

I think you are new to bounty hunting, just when so many people are already giving up or complaining about bounty hunting you are discussing profit, even these airdrops are not profitable anymore I have one wallet dedicated to airdrops and have received over 50 airdrops and only two of them are converted to profit, profit from doing bounty are a thing of the past, although there are few worth working with there are so many participants and small allocation that it will not satisfy your effort.

What do you mean here, earning from scratch without any talent or capital, I see that you have read some stories about successful bounty programs in the past. Yes! they existed back then and I know some people who actually become successful by joining those rare bounties. I say rare because only 1 in a hundred chances you will be landed on those kinds of projects. Right now they are rare because the competitions and the manager that was legit back then are now unreliable when handling bounties.

That's right, bounties as told are something rare. it's the same with existing airdrops. even it might be 1:1000 which will give a big payoff.
saw a lot of people doing airdrop tasks blindly. I didn't say it was in vain. but I'm sure, many of them do not work honestly.
because obviously, the reason is the meager results obtained. and some bounty and airdrop hunters become greedy to get more.

[EmmaGod]

Bounties are no longer as lucrative as they were few years back. It takes a whole lot to get a lucrative bounty and most of them are basically signature bounties for high level accounts. It's been a while since we last heard about a lucrative airdrop. Uniswap and twt was one of the few projects that gave nice airdrops in the recent past. It may take another bull run to see something of similar nature.

If you have a lot of free time or willing to risk your time for these scammy bounty or airdrop programs, go for it.
I remember before there are a lot of profitable or worth of my time to join especially in bounty programs and airdrops but during bear market, you expect that it is less profitable because most of these projects are scams or failed projects.

[mace15]

Some airdrops these days are not really paying off, as what others said just do the bounties task or join airdrop from your free time and don't expect too much. Still there are a lot of opportunities to join in this industry that you can earn money you just have to do your own research in which your time well paid off. Also, in twitter social media there are many airdrops we could join.

its not more profitable but its less risky and as I think its a good way to start in crypto or nft

[SirLancelot]

I personally do not join them all that frequently, I rarely do but when I do it, the only thing I care about is getting paid, so that I wouldn't be upset about all the things that I could have done and missed during the same period.

That is a gamble you take, since you are not spending any money on it at all, you should not be shocked that it would not be worth your time at all times. Some people work and get paid nothing, some people work and get paid tokens that worth nothing, some people work and they get paid usdt or another stablecoin guaranteed, some people work and get token that may worth even more and make crazy profit.

All of these are possibilities that you accept when you start a bounty, and if you join it, then you accept these results and hope for the best one. It is a shocking result if you gain nothing, neither making a ton of money, they are both possibilities you should have known before you participated.

[cute nmp]

Things have change alot before you can earn alot from bounties and airdrops unlike nowadays.No matter how hard you work you will only earn little amount.But there are still some that pay Hunters alot upto now but there are only a few who pay such great amount.It is still a source of income for many no matter how little.

The truth is that I don't see anything profitable in AIRDROPS at the moment, I think that Airdrops have passed their time, I have seen that reward campaigns are much safer, also that AIRDROPS that give money is approximately 1 or 2 dollars and apart from that they enter in a raffle to see if they qualify, that is something that should not be done, and it puts many tasks to complete, the truth is that it is a lot of work for nothing, the signature campaigns are a very different thing because the work is rewarded, however there is ue to be careful, it is better to do the campaigns that are managed by some trustworthy campaign managers.
