Need help getting my son started {unemployed}

[Kprawn]

Hi Everyone...

I am a super noobie in anything related to Bitcoins.

My Son is currently unemployed for 8 months. {I helped him for most of this period, but he wants to do something on his own}

Our whole family tried to get him work, but things are very hard, and he is still very inexperienced.

Is there a way for him to get about $1 a day from these "FREE" bitcoin sites? {I told him, I would match everything he get, from doing this}

He does all his work I give him during the day, but he needs to do something to keep him going in idle times, when he is not looking for work.

I see most people says, mining Bitcoins as a individual is not worth it, because of power cost {And we life in a country, with the highest cost of electricity in the world}

Please do not post "negative" comments, like...."Tell him to get a real job...etc. etc" {Believe me, we tried}

Any positive and constructive advice, would be very much appreciated.

Ps... I pay for his internet bandwidth and electricity

If you go to absolutely every site, you maybe can average $1/week. If you're really lucky.

One question, does he own a minecraft account? I may know a way he can average $2/week, depending on how much time he spends.

But "Free" bitcoin sites don't pay out very highly, so I wouldn't expect $1/day.

BUT

(I know the following may belong in the altcoin section) some other crypto currencies are easier and more profitable to mine, and you can exchange those coins into LTC, BTC and others. I have a friend who said he mined with a few $20 usb miners from eBay, and got the full return on investment, trading from the coin to LTC, since the rates are better.

Look around and alive but small crypto currencies, and then research on the internet and eBay. I'm sure that you could make SOME money, but no guarantees, like everything.

And keep the air moving around the miners! They get HOT.

I hope this helps!

[Kprawn]

Thanks Yakamoto for such quick reply.

Would it help, if he use this with sites, that pay him for clicking on Ads? {Some of these sites pay fairly well}

Thanks again for your reply.

[Smack That Ace]

I dont think its as simple as just "clicking Ads" But yes he can figure out ways to make 1 usd a day.
if you dont mind me asking, which country is it ?

[guybrushthreepwood]

I doubt you'll get very much at all from faucet or pay per click sites. A few cents maybe. If he's at a computer all day there's plenty of jobs available that people pay in bitcoins. Check on other at the services section. Maybe he could help out with a customer service role. What experience does he have? There are other sites where you can advertise your skills.

[MoneyGod]

If you want you son earn some then you can try on some sites which are giving money for typing like  www.megatypers.com and www.pixtyper.com check them not bitcoin related but he can earn some money from here

[Kprawn]

I am from a country in Africa. {Not a lot of jobs here}

He does some odd jobs {pizza delivery etc...} Not enough to stand on his own legs tho.. And not a constant income source. {Only when he is needed}

He needs something to reward him for his efforts..

Thanks for replies everyone.

This is the best explanation of faucets I've heard.

So does he play minecraft? If so, pm me or whatever it is. I'm quite new.

Not a lot of faucets pay out really well though. Get him to make an account on here, work his posts up to minimum full member, and he can get about 0.008BTC-ish for 50 posts per month, using signature advertisements. As he increases his member status, he can get up to 0.13BTC with some offers I've seen. That way he can become engaged in the community AND get paid quite good amounts.

And don't trust every site. Some of them are malicious. This website called MacObserver has a list of clean (Non-malicious) and working faucets, and many of them work, as I have tried them out myself.

Good luck!

[jbrnt]

There are many things you can do to earn money/bitcoins.

I read about some people looking for reports to blog/twitter/facebook bitcoin related news. So, ask your son to gather tons of news about bitcoins, post them on his own blog and then approach those people for work paid in bitcoins.

If you have a digital camera, even simple ones, take photos of people/buildings/senery around your area in Africa and sell them online. They don't even have to look beautiful. The photos just need to be real.

If your son can draw on a computer, he can design logos/posters/flyers in your local area. With some experience and a portfolio, he can start grabbing jobs here for bitcoins.

Actually, why are you asking for him? He should be the one who should take the initiative to post here asking for ways to earn bitcoin.

[Chrithu]

Honestly, my advise would be to try and get him further education if anyhow possible. Maybe see if he qualifies for scholarships in Europe.

As far as I see it the only ways out of such struggles are being good at sports or having a very good education.

As far as bitcoins go: Making a dollar a day from just clicking ads and using faucets and stuff is not possible.

What can earn you several dollars a day is using sites that pay for solving tasks like tasks4dollars.com or dollarrewards.com (talking about the Crowdflower stuff they offer). Those two in particular also payout in other ways than bitcoin. I've been using them as I had time for over a year now. They are administrated by the same guy and he's been very reliable with payments so far. But it can be tedious and tiresome work that can take some hours until you cross the dollar line. The most effective tasks take you about 5 minutes to solve and pay 5 cent on average.

Better than any of the other stuff, even better than mining nowadays if you don't have thousands of dollars for initial investment.

Combine that with some of the signature campaigns in this forum.

But it is all no real substitute for real work. So I am back at suggesting looking to find better education for your son.

[cryptos]

I have a much better idea...Start a new scam coin...like AsiaCoin or AC.  Instant riches   
 

[Pony789]

Forget about the faucets.
Sell goods or provide services (writing, translation, etc.) to others for bitcoin.
Join a sig program when you reach member status.

[Smack That Ace]

Cryptos how is scamming people funny ?
I wonder what your intentions are on this forum.
Newbie scammer crypto. Please be careful while trading with him !!!

Stop that. How can he ever learn to take care of himself if he gets everything done for him?
The best you can do is: let him figure it out, take a step back and be there if he asks(!) for help.
It shouldnt be you asking for ways here, but him. Because he needs a job/money not you.
And face it, you wont be around forever, so he gotta learn to take care of himself anyway.

[Moonway99]

How old is he? I think It's really easy to get $1 a day around the internet but you need to be nimble thought. There many ways. Firstly Is he is good at doing anything? If yes mentioned It here what he does good so It would be easier to give suggestions to you. Easiest thing is to do what you are good at and have experience In. Everything can be profitable around the internet from for example playing online games, selling virtual stuff that needs time to get, giving some kind of service to other people that you know well and able to do. Check the service section on this forum you'll see some examples there.

[bitsmichel]

Is there a way for him to get about $1 a day from these "FREE" bitcoin sites? {I told him, I would match everything he get, from doing this}

Ok say you use a faucet that pays 0.00000460 per hour. It would mean 0.0001104 per day.  0.003312 per month. This is about 1.43$ per month.

If you become member on forum, write posts, and put signature you can get anywhere from 0.0001 (0.04 USD) to 2.4 BTC. (1030.35 USD)

He can offer services on this forum for money.  Like 1000 twitter follower, or logos

I'm honestly thinking of starting the later of this. It seems to be good money...

Or this.

[Kprawn]

He is sitting next to me, while i am chatting on this forum. Involved in everything.

He left school a couple of years ago, so he is noobie in most things.

He is also in a wheelchair, so most of the things he does, is exceptional anyways. {I want to see most people deliver pizzas in a wheelchair, as fast as him.}

Would just be better, if we can get something for him to do from home.

He is also not fast at typing.. so that route is not viable.

Thanks for the rest of the comments everyone.

[Kprawn]

Pitty that this site below is a "scam" site.

Would have been a viable option, if they paid, what they claimed.

[marife01]

A lot of sites are giving free Bitcoins or will pay for simple tasks like liking their web pages.
There are also some ways to earn online, owning a computer and having an internet connection could help you or your son earn some bucks.

Hi Everyone...

I see most people says, mining Bitcoins as a individual is not worth it, because of power cost {And we life in a country, with the highest cost of electricity in the world}

Please do not post "negative" comments, like...."Tell him to get a real job...etc. etc" {Believe me, we tried}

Any positive and constructive advice, would be very much appreciated.

Ps... I pay for his internet bandwidth and electricity 

May I ask,where are you from?

I think he said Africa, but I could be thinking about another thread.

Also, as another tip,

try alt-coin mining. I've seen some clones of certain coins that use the same mining technique for them, and so you only need to pick up one piece of hardware and you can then go mine them all. LTC clones are the most prominent, so I'd suggest finding out how to mine LTC and then going on from there. You probably won't even need hardware for LTC, you can probably just use the computer you have right now.

Good luck!

[Zyborg]

There's definitely a chance to make a dollar per day if you find a site that pays well, bitcoinget for example has specific offers if you live in certain countries. However it would take more time than it would to go to your local super market and search the ground for dropped change. If you do however decide to try these free sites, I've listed my favorite ones at www.earnbtc.weebly.com. I can guarantee all sites are paying, I can not guarantee you'll be able to make 1 USD per day though. It depends on a lot of varying factors.

Another chance is to let him make a Bitcointalk account, post frequently every 2 week period until it reaches at least the Member rank, and then participate in a signature campaign on the forum. With relatively few posts per day one can make up to a few hundred dollars per month.

Best of luck.

Make a website about africa photos, interviews (or something else unique) and put advertisement a-ads.com

It's about advertising. Publishers/Webmasters who own a website can rent out their banner ad space and Marketers who own a business can rent these spaces to put their advertizing there. A-ads is a marketer for banner ad space and brings these people together and handles technical stuff and clearance.

First step.  get an account here.   Get a bitcoin wallet started, and make an address.  and put that address in the signature line.

Are you able to setup a mining rig? (using your computer already built)

Signature lines take a long time though. He'll be posting for a while.

Mining rigs on the other hand, are very confusing for a noob. I know from experience. So I don't think it would be that simple unless he uses a button-push client to mine.

[Kprawn]

He did create a wallet and he has a adress.

But we do not understand, where the signature thing come into play?

Thanks for advice.

[Coef]

But we do not understand, where the signature thing come into play?

You can join a signature program here on bitcointalk and get paid for putting an ad on your signature space.
You can find a couple of programs on the service section. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

[Kprawn]

Sorry if I am spamming this topic... But we have so much questions.

We have been watching some youtube videos on solo bit mining.

1st = We need to invest tons of money into a rig, capable of mining at a low rate. {high cpu / gpu specs}
2cnd = Gather the knowledge on how to mine. {Could take some time, but doable}
3rd = Solo mining with a giant rig cost gigantic amounts of money, and the power consumption offset against the  gain of possible bitcoins mined, seems not to be worth the effort. {On this I might be wrong}
4th = Our electricity cost, is of the most expensive in the world.

Any other ideas, would be appreciated.

Looks like the videos you watched are out of date, since it mentioned cpu/gpu for mining bitcoin.
The age of cpu/gpu mining bitcoin is long gone, and it is not really profitable IMHO to buy ASIC now.

[Kprawn]

I kind of understand the "Signature" program now.

Enroll with a program, add the companies signature, and post in the forum and get paid for it right?

Only catch is, nobody excepts newbies. {So that route is closed}

Any other ideas?

Exactly.

Well, everybody starts as newbies. If you (or your son) keep posting, you should reach member status within 2 months, and can join a signature program then.

[OnkelPaul]

Mining is not a possible solution for you. Don't expect a minimum investment to generate enough income for a living, even in Africa where cost of living is much lower than in Europe or America.

You should really consider photography, there is a huge need for interesting images for websites, desktop backgrounds, printed media etc.

I understand that your son is physically handicapped but yet relatively mobile in his wheelchair as he was able to deliver pizzas.
That should enable him to move around and look for interesting photo subjects. There is a huge range of interesting subjects (nature, buildings, industry, people, ...)
I have no experience marketing photographs, maybe something like posting images in medium resolution on a photo website somewhere (instagram? tumblr?) and offering high-resolution versions for money (maybe starting at low prices .
If you actually want to accept bitcoins, transaction costs for payments are very low, but you will need to exchange to your currency if your son wants to make a living off this.

Investment for this would be relatively small - start with a medium camera and focus on interesting subjects, then after some money flows in he could invest into a higher quality camera to be able to provide better technical quality.

[Yakamoto]

Thanks for advice.

So once you are active on the forum for long enough, your "activity" increases. As it increases, you get more and more permissions. After 2 months of posting with a high rate of activity, you will become a "member". Not Jr. Member, but Member. Once you become this, you can sign up for signature payment programs, which have you put an ad in your signature and post at least 50 times per month, and get 0.008 BTC monthly, or more, the longer you participate and work your way up to Sr. Member and the like.

[Kprawn]

Ok might look into the advice for taking pictures for cash.

Where can I subscribe/enroll for something like this?

Are there already companies that pay for this service, or do i have to start something like this?

I have a family member, who would also be interrested in this option, because he takes photo's for a living. {Weddings etc...}

Thanks in advance 

[Flashman]

Look into "Huntercoin" it's "human mineable" via a game, you can exchange it for bitcoin. I don't know what you can expect per hour of play, but I suspect it pays better than most faucets do now.

[Kprawn]

And what about "Cloud mining" ?

If I get it right... You buy into companies, who have "hardcore" hardware and they mine for you, and pay out dividends?

Or am I totally wrong?

[jbrnt]

Ok might look into the advice for taking pictures for cash.
Where can I subscribe/enroll for something like this?

It is not difficult. You start by browsing through the sites which sells photos. Get an idea what sort of photos sells best. Learn how colours and composition works in a photo. Start taking them yourselves, fix colour, sharpness and crop photos with free photo editing software. Post them on sites recommended here:

http://thenextweb.com/lifehacks/2011/09/22/a-beginners-guide-to-selling-your-photographs-online/

You could post a thread here on the digital goods subforum and them for bitcoins  

[Coef]

And what about "Cloud mining" ?

If I get it right... You buy into companies, who have "hardcore" hardware and they mine for you, and pay out dividends?

You are right, but why did the companies sell you hashrate rather than mining bitcoin themselves?
One reason is they can get more from you than from mining (in other words, the hashrate buyer can't break even).
Another possible reason is they are some scammers.

[Kprawn]

Well they might need investors, with readily available cash, to increase their hardware, or upgrade and expansion.

Most banks charge ridiculous interest on loans, anyway.

So it might be cheaper to get investors?

Just my humble opinion.

[Wusolini]

And what about "Cloud mining" ?

If I get it right... You buy into companies, who have "hardcore" hardware and they mine for you, and pay out dividends?

Or am I totally wrong?

Cloudmining needs investment whitch is barely refundable.
Definitely your profit won't be high. Also there is a chance that company go bankrupt.
I have no experience, just thinking.

About faucets and other free stuff I have exp. with.
Alone, you earn just rubbish. But try to make as much referals to best faucets (buy an ad space, put some banners on ...). Could be nice small passive income.
Generally all free stuff requires massive amount of refs. to make serious money. Either luck or proper advertise.

How about autosurfs? Install* advertise bar in your PC and you are payed for watching ads.
This is very small profit especially from those without captchas ( 1-3 EUR/month), but there are lot of them for frech speaking users.
Are you guys French?


maybe check forum: moneymakergroup.com/forums


* better not to install if you have private data on it.

[bambino]

Firstly I think your son should to learn what Bitcoin is. IMO, if it somehow interested him, he'll start mining.

[Kprawn]

Does not look like solo mining is viable under conditions where the electricity price is very high.

And expensive mining rigs negate the profit from mining.

[BitCoinDream]

+1. It is unlikely to get your investment back, even if you have low electricity cost.

[Kprawn]

So you agree then.. mining is not a option?

No need investing in mining, if you not even get your initial investment back.

Cannot do this for a hobby, it needs to generate income and pay for initial investment.

Thanks

[Soappa]

So you agree then.. mining is not a option?

Yup.
Indeed I believe the best options have already been suggested by others (eg. provide services and join a sig deal).

[Yakamoto]

Are there any specific talents he has? I must say though, some alt-coins have decent mining opportunities, and so THOSE can make an ROI, maybe. Don't quote me on that.

I'm going to be doing some free-lance writing in the marketplace service subsection, and eventually joining a signature program.

Honestly, once you're on here enough, you can do a LOT of things that can generate revenue.

[Vod]

It's easy to learn programming online for free.

Advertise yourself for dirt cheap.  You may think you are worth more than $1 for an hour of work, but you'll be able to find lots of work at that rate.  Slowly increase it as you get more reputation.

Even $1 an hour is more than you will make clicking or surfing.

[Virtual Exchange]

Have you tried posting an ad on craigslist? I don't know if they have that where you live, but I was able to get several job offers from my ad I posted on craigslist about looking for a job.

Here are some good options to earn BTC/Cash:

1) Rent out your signature space [Look in the services section, there's several people who will pay you BTC monthly for having their business in your signature - the more you post the more BTC you get at the end of the month]

2) Complete online surveys to earn money (Swagbucks is a legit service that comes to mind.). The payouts are very low, but if your son is stuck with nothing to do, it's better than nothing.

3). Youtube videos and the internet provide an infinite amount of information. Your son can easily learn a skill like programming through Youtube videos and tutorials. There's a lot of other things too that if you invest the time into learning you will be rewarded in return.

4) Tell him to buy something that is only sold around where you live (It can be anything though). Then tell him to make a thread selling that item(s) either on here or another website. Make sure it's an item that appeals to the consumers. So for example I wouldn't be trying to sell a car engine to a Real-estate agent, I would look for a place that buys car engines and sell it there.

5) Tell him to take the best skills he has (that have the potential to earn an income), and build on them. Practice, learn, and educate yourself then start off on a website offering your service, eventually create your own website and you'll be on your way to earning an income you can live off of.

[Vitsila]

Also a good oportunity is AmazonTurk, where you do some tasks and get paid for your work.

[giantkin]

I'm not sure how easy it would be...

but you can do some ebay selling, using dropship goods.

I know you can make a few bucks that way. (i did it)

its somewhat low end, but when your starting out with nothing, it gets you

going.   I went from $1/week to $1/day to $5  before finding a wholesaler I could

get started with, and so on up the chain.

Now the store is defunct (area defunct too)

Wishing I would have kept at the online aspect.

Thinking of starting over myself.

[Kprawn]

Yea I am going to look into all those ideas you posted.

He is already looking at the "photo's for cash" idea. But those sights have high standards set, before they accept your photo's tho.

Going to look at "AmazonTurk" now 

He is also currently going round, picking in dust bins, for cola cans. {They pay some bucks for them at scrap sites}

I told him, i would match, what he earns, to double his income, to make it more attractive and worth his while.

He has to do some stuff on his own, we will just help.

Better than sitting at home and playing games the whole day.

[shootme]

Easiest way to make money while at home is buying a webcam.
The services he is providing behind it will determine the payout, but with just chatting about the weather he can make more then 10 dollars per day i think.
Unless he is rude, but still some ppl are willing to pay for that kind of attitude.

[Flashman]

How are his fine motor skills?

If he could handle taking cellphones apart and replacing cracked screens etc, there's a lot of spares you can get cheap on eforchina.com who are reliable/reputable in my experience but the basic shipping takes a couple of weeks.

Then also, there are a lot of computers and electronic goods that suffer from failure due to using cheap capacitors, which are generally easy to spot. With a little time and effort these can be replaced with a soldering iron. I would recommend he picks up discarded electronics and practices on them, he can then sell any he fixes, before offering it as a service to customers to fix their particular device. Best place to learn about that is badcaps.net

Also if he might get into that kind of thing a useful resource is http://repairfaq.org/

Then a bit more advanced is the repair of solder failures on surface mount chips, a lot of laptops go dead from this problem...
Some resources to get the idea of that...
http://solar-blogg.blogspot.ca/2009/03/diy-reflow-soldering.html
http://www.ebay.com/gds/MY-VIDEO-CHIP-GPU-REFLOW-METHOD-AND-WHY-IT-WORKS-/10000000017595859/g.html
http://www.killerbug.net/Nichibotsu/The_complete_guide_to_Reflowing.pdf
http://www.instructables.com/id/Toaster-Oven-Reflow-Soldering-BGA/

Which makes it look like you need a lot of equipment, but with reliable African sunshine a smart kid may have a decent success rate with solar reflectors or solar ovens to provide the heat.

Then as a part of scavenging for repairable and re-sellable newer equipment he may come across some older things which may have their own value...

Anyway, hope that is of some use, I am sure that when he gains experience in these sorts of repairs, he will be able to sell his skills for bitcoin for repair services through the mails.

In India some kind of craft job would be good like making baskets or something? Well otherwise you need to work some kind of physical job but It's hard and If you have computer and internet that's the best solution. You can even work on this forum.

[Chemistry1988]

Easiest way to make money while at home is buying a webcam.
The services he is providing behind it will determine the payout, but with just chatting about the weather he can make more then 10 dollars per day i think.
Unless he is rude, but still some ppl are willing to pay for that kind of attitude.

Interesting. Someone is willing to pay 10 dollars a day to get some chit-chat?

The clock will also be restarted when you log in your account or make a forum search.

So, it is better to first log in your account, even when you are just reading the posts.

I thought, it's a forum limiter for people who signed up for signatures, so that they cannot spam the forum, with useless posts.

Thank you for the information, I will keep it in mind.

You guys are really giving valuable inputs and it's appreciated a lot.

Don't know what the rules were when the forum first started, but until some time ago the rules were even a bit stricter, such that you could only post in the newbie section for some time.
They were relaxed somewhat a few months ago. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move

You've made the first mistake many people make when entering into Bitcoin, thinking you can get instantly rich off it or get rich mining, that never happens and if it does that person is extremely lucky, I'm unemployed too currently but I'm taking a different approach and aiming to be self-employed with Bitcoin it is actually incredibly easy to set up a business, since you have an internet connection and presumably a Bitcoin wallet you could set up nearly any business you like.

There are Bitcoin accepting webhosts out there and payment processors, the rest is up to you and how much you're willing to work and what kind of skills you have.

This payment processor might suit you as it doesn't use fiat so it won't discriminate based on what country you're from: https://www.btcmerch.com/

There are also a number of webhosts even some on this very forum who could get you started somehow.

Your son really need to understand that he can't be relying on his parents forever...

Yeah this is true. Like I said post an ad on craigslist saying you're hardworking and have been job hunting but all applications are online so it's not really up to skill level just past job experience, education, etc. I posted an ad and got 4-5 legitimate responses within one day.

If you can't find some way to make a living he's going to be eventually homeless. Or you being in debt from paying all his bills. There's a lot of resources out there for finding work and making money you just have to find and use them. Tell him to work on building some stuff or refurbishing furniture and re-selling it, you can make some good money from that. Buy an old wooden entertainment center for $50, refurbish it, and sell it for $200+.

His son is in a wheelchair and they are in Africa. I doubt Craigslist even exist in many of the African countries and even if something similar existed it isn't that effective like you think.

Don't spam allways was a rule. Don't scam was allways a rule aswell. As far as the time limit between posts goes: When I started a year ago the rules for newbies were: You only can post in the Beginners and Help Section until you gathered 5 posts and 4 hours of being logged in AND you had a time limit between posts.

As far as the "Make one post a day" stuff goes: That is NOT an official rule. But if you do not plan to actively and constructively take part in the conversations in this forum you maybe should adhere to it, to not get caught for your spam so quickly  .

The thing that gets a lot of the longer users and some of the mods here on and over the edge is that the situation with the signature-campaigns has gotten somewhat out of hand: Starting as an opportunity for members that would post here with or without the sigs to monetize on their activity here, it has become somewhat of an abomination that draws in people that usually wouldn't be active here and has them spam mindlessly and use multi accs and bots to get the most out of it.

It has gotten so much out of hand that just having a sig makes you suspicious to certain parts of this community and it sure shifts the line between a post of your's being considered spam or not spam.

[Fearless]

Well actually, If he can't find what to do on his own, studies are the only option to get education and work. Suggestions wont really help If he can't think It out what to do on his own he'll get stuck on even smallest obstacles that always occur in life. Only doing everything on his own he can understand what he is doing and the solutions to the problems that occur.

Under those circumstances I would just say save up enough money to fly to America, we will help you out if you can't work. If you guys live in Africa I'm sure there's a lot of stuff that's native to your territory. Go out and get it or buy it and re-sell it online for profit. You can sell it anywhere, Bitcointalk, eBay, any site that has a marketplace.

[makebitcoin]

Your best bet is getting him on the forum to get paid per post for signature space or if he has some kind of skill to sell his time for bitcoins. He could also try to set up a shop with bitcoin, but in that case you might as well accept cash also.

[Kprawn]

Some people just jump into the middle of a thread and read 1 or 2 posts and then spill their minds.

Read the whole thread and then comment constructively.

We as parents are not doing EVERYTHING for him, look in previous posts, he is delivering pizza's and getting into other people's trash to collect cans
to sell for money.... !!

We just want him, to do something in the house, where he is safe and he can make some extra income, instead of being in the sun all day, going
through people's trash.

But he wants to do something and we did not intervene.

We just, did not have any other alternative, but to ask for help.

Anyways, thanks to the people, with positive and workable solutions.

On the signature issue... Yea it does help to get people "active" in threads, where they would normally, not have commented.

[Flashman]

Another little secret about something that might be thrown out and can somewhat easily be repaired and resold when you know the trick ...

NiCad and NiMh rechargable battery packs are commonly made out of standard sized individual cells which might be, C, sub C, AA, 2/3AA 1/2 AA, N etc sized cells. They are common for power tools, portable phones (of the household type) radios and many other devices.

What usually happens when they "die" is that one individual cell has gone bad inside the pack, either completely dead or voltage reversed. This means that if you get several similar packs, they can be stripped apart and the dead cells replaced with good cells from another pack. For say a 3.6V three cell pack in a portable phone, 3 discarded packs should make 2 good ones, because they each probably have 2 good cells each. Cells must be matched for type (NiCad/NiMh) and capacity (in mAh usually)

Here's some sources about power tool packs, the principles are the same.

http://makezine.com/2007/08/31/repacking-nicd-battery-pa/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtOS5evrqrQ

The guy in the video is using new cells, but cells tested good from other packs can be used.

[loewen.brad]

If he hasn't done it already, have your son sign up here and post listings for small odd jobs in the Services section of the forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0). Many users here are willing to pay a few dollars (for just a few minutes of work) to have someone post advertisements and such to their facebook page and various other social networking sites. Another thing he can do is to sign up at sites like coinad.com that offer referral programs. The more people that sign up under him and use the service, the more money he'll make. I personally have 89 referrals on coinad and that brings in about $2-3/month. I know that may not sound like much, but once I spread my referral link, I haven't done a thing but sit back and collect. I haven't even clicked on a single ad in maybe three months. Earnings potential is limitless with coinad. The more referrals you get signed up under you, the more money you'll make. With enough referrals, you could potentially be bringing in several hundred dollars per month for doing nothing but spreading a single link. Speaking of... here's that referral link I speak of. https://coinad.com/?r=NIOXAYF0QCSFJGN

[Kprawn]

Just a little update.

He is currently subscribed and registered to a lot of these "click" ad sites, and earning some coins.

He is still delivering pizza's and collecting cans.

He constantly sends out emails to all his friends, to get referrals and also help them to register on some of these sites. {He still believe, if he has enough referrals, he will have a constant income stream}

He also subscribed to one of those sites, that pays you for your photo's, but they have not excepted any of his photo's as yet. {quality and content issues} 

He is also taking apart lithium batteries from friends, in an attempt to "repair" them, and then to sell them.

So he is taking your advice seriously.

Any other ideas and suggestions are welcome.

This is good. Referrals will be beneficial.

Photos will always take time to master, but I'm sure he can start mastering it soon enough.

How much research has he done on the lithium batteries? I wouldn't jump right on that unless I had done some serious research and practiced as much as I could. I guess he is getting the practice, though.

Good luck with rest, and if he wants, have him send me some PMs with referrals. I'd gladly help!

[Flashman]

Well good luck with the lithiums, I had thought most of them were monolithic (One lump, made to fit) but I guess there's some that are made to fit compartments that also take ordinary batteries.

[techgeek]

Has he looked into doing fiverr gigs?

Elance or other freelance work?

Or anything else online related?

Its pretty simple to make english testimonial videos and upload them.

The more immediate profit, can be buying something off clearance and re-selling it.

[iopq]

I suggest this:

1. Use gimp to make funny images about dogecoin
2. Post on http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/ your image
3. People tip you if they like it

you can make a dollar or so if people like your funny doge image

[Acidyo]

He could make a decent income by having a signature of sites that pay for your post amount while using their signature. But most want you to at least be member status. Maybe you can contact one of those and show them this thread and they may let your son slip this time and he could make a minimum amount of btc per post with his lower activity.

Hi there.

What has been working alright for me recently is taking advantage of the wave of "Free IPO" alternative crypto currency launches. There seem to be a few every week at the moment ( A3Coin, PIXX, SMURF ) which distribute the currency 100% free at launch to users who have registered. These are generally 100% POS (proof of stake) currencies which do not require any mining.
These free coins can then be dumped on exchanges at launch for a quick profit, or held for sale later in hopes of a greater profit.... all depending on how the holder sees the prospects of the currency.

For anyone familiar enough with the crypto currency scene, there are always bounties offered for writing articles & blog posts, just reed the [ANN] OP's.
Plus I have seen quite a few writing jobs advertised recently on site like elance, looking for writers on crypto currency topics.

Hope this helps.

Not sure if serious or not. I can't help but laugh when I think of what you mentioned as a full time job.  

On a serious note though, freelance article writting is pretty easy. There are plenty of bitcoin related news websites currently looking for writers! It easy to get started into writing this way.

In the last 2 weeks I have made about 0.1 BTC directly from selling coins received through Free IPOs.
By trading in other coins with that profit I have easily doubled that since then.
So I would guestimate about 0.2 - 0.3 BTC total in the last couple of weeks.  Hard to say exactly as it is all currently reinvested.
It's not alot, but would easily be a few $$$ a day, and it is interesting learning experience.

The coins in my signature are there as part of qualifying to receive more F-IPO.

The gimp attempt, is just a marketing play which can get possible tips if its funny enough I`m sure.

It can be taken seriously, if the person did this a weekly thing or daily, that has a constant good premise similar how a article is written.

But then it would be more of a comic strip, which I`d tell the person to head towards.

As for the comment on IPO thing, I doubt this person will explain anything lol. Anything that good happens stays within them of knowing it since they did the hard bull crap lifting of making it work for them.

No free lunches.

[Kprawn]

Hi, I would surely want to investigate the Free IPOs suggestion from MrHelpful.

Can you point me to a noobie thread or possibly start a thread on this, to explain in more detail, what must be done?

My son have followed most of the advice on this thread sofar, and it helps to keep him positive for the future.

Thanks so much.

[Spearmint]

Get him to register on this site and after a few weeks he can join a paid signature campaign. He'd earn alot more than $1 a day doing this provided his posts are meaningful and helpful to others.

After reading all the posts, I believe joining a sig program after reaching 60 activity is the easiest and most feasible way.

Since you already got 27 activity now, it will be just about 6 weeks to go to reach 60 activity if you keep posting.

I read in page 1 that you son is not fast at typing, but I don't think it will be a big problem.
After all, you don't need to type 60 words a minute to make constructive posts and you don't need to make lengthy 500-word posts.

The highest payment at this moment is the UpDown one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=600446.0) which gives 0.0006 per post for members. So, with 20 posts a day, you could get 0.36btc (about $160).

Yup it is per constructive post.
The pay has been driven up very fast in the previous 2 months, due to the competition (between PD, Ritz and now UpDown).

it's insane though, are they really making that much money off of sig ads? they must be getting at least $20k per month in bitcoin revenues if they can pay out that much.

[Shogen]

After reading all the posts, I believe joining a sig program after reaching 60 activity is the easiest and most feasible way.

Since you already got 27 activity now, it will be just about 6 weeks to go to reach 60 activity if you keep posting.

I read in page 1 that you son is not fast at typing, but I don't think it will be a big problem.
After all, you don't need to type 60 words a minute to make constructive posts and you don't need to make lengthy 500-word posts.

The highest payment at this moment is the UpDown one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=600446.0) which gives 0.0006 per post for members. So, with 20 posts a day, you could get 0.36btc (about $160).

I don't think it's per post. I could be wrong, but for only 20 posts a day, that seems like an awful lot of money they shell out to people. I think it may be 0.0006 per month... But again I could be wrong...

you're wrong, it's per post.. and i have no idea how they are able to pay that much out, but who's to complain?

Completely no clue how much traffic / business has the sig ad brought to the them.

For your comparison, people spent over 6.5 btc for just 1 slot of the forum ad (10% chance to show up) for around 11 days.

-snip-
 {I helped him for most of this period, but he wants to do something on his own}

Our whole family tried to get him work, but things are very hard, and he is still very inexperienced.
-snip-

Stop that. How can he ever learn to take care of himself if he gets everything done for him?
The best you can do is: let him figure it out, take a step back and be there if he asks(!) for help.
It shouldnt be you asking for ways here, but him. Because he needs a job/money not you.
And face it, you wont be around forever, so he gotta learn to take care of himself anyway.

My thought exactly. "Give a man a fish and he'll be set for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll be set for the rest of his life." Don't carry him. Seriously. The damage this does is massive and in most cases will permanently hinder the other person from ever handling their own business.

[Kprawn]

Ranlo, mby you have kids, mby you do'nt.. I do not know.

Some people have kids, and they simply do not care.

We do care, and we want our kids to be successfull, in whatever they do.

In my country only 4 out of 10 people have work.

So he has already got something, he has no control over.

Once again... He is doing his own "Fishing" ....We not doing these things for him, we just seek opportunities for him to choose from.

As a parent, I want to help where I can. He wants and needs no pitty, NOR charity. He just wants opportunities and he will "fish" on his own.

You guys have done this, and know, what makes money, and what does not. What is "scams" AND what is a waste of time. I just ask, you to

share that knowledge {in that way, you are learning us to fish} and we will do the fishing.

Hope you understand.

Good explanation.

[alani123]

I see what OP is looking for. My suggestion? If your son has some experience on Bitcoin and how it works he could surely get started with writing. There are several bitcoin related blogs that are looking for writers right now. If his English is decent it won't be hard for him.

Start by sending applications to any small blogs you can find asking for writers, your son will gain reputation and experience while being paid as well. After he's a bit more experienced he could start sending applications again and also be a freelancer writer.

I didn't realize you were in one of the less privileged countries (not trying to be insensitive with that statement, I just don't know how else to word it). I apologize.

Are you all able to create businesses there? If so, that is an option.

[icet208]

So far, the best success I've had as far as generating a small BTC income daily is with automated bitcoin arbitrage trading at BTC Arbs (see link in my signature).

For those who don't know, there is almost always a price difference between Bitstamp, BTC-e, and the other bitcoin exchanges; when you profit from the price difference, this is called an arbitrage opportunity. So you just deposit some bitcoin at BTC Arbs and you make a daily return from arbitrage opportunities (they do all the work for you). Highly recommended.

Good luck to you and your son!

stfu with that scammers. dont deposit your BTC on that site you wont be able to withdraw them

[cookiemonsterwhat]

So whats the progress op? Did your son get into the signature posting?

Or is he still doing the bottle collecting, etc.

Also where are you from? As someone mentioned, you are in a less privileged country?

[efc17]

Hi

I got asked if it was convenient for me to take time off work as they weren't that busy(it wasn't convinient). Fed up, I went to my government careers adviser and said I wanted a career change and was thinking about IT.

I had done a few tutorials for html but didn't know much.  They got me onto a 5 day coding course and have made me a few introductions to employers.

I have been learning about 2 months in total now I have produced a website for beginners to cryptocurrency. It's at: simplycoin.co.uk please check it out if you have a moment and give me some feedback.  I am hoping to show it to potential employers at a couple of interviews I have coming up. (hope I get it finished in time!)

Sorry to hear about your son, if he finds something he really enjoys doing he should look for some help it is out there somewhere.  I have found so far that tech professionals really go out of their way to help people if they sense a genuine passion.  As you can see from the more experienced guys on this site they are very helpful.

I hope something comes good for me soon and your son.  It sucks to be out of work.

Good luck Thanks

I agree on the signature earning system, you can check here the best offers on this forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333916.0
You just need to wait for acquiring member status, then you can give your account to him and let him do the typing. Per post he can earn about 0.25 usds (0.0006 btcs), so 20 constructive posts a day will give him 5 usds.
After having some money in bitcoins, he might do arbitrage between exchanges, as already mentioned.
Then, slowly, he might start trading: buying at a price, selling higher. Best place to learn is tradingview.com.
But be aware, that can be risky, much more than arbitrage.

[Yakamoto]

I'm learning HTML to go along with my writing business, so that could be an idea.

Some people seem to need HTML coders... I'll gladly oblige.

Other than that, it seems kind of difficult to be able to sell services on here these days. You need a pretty broad horizon, or,

I`m currently hiring people, pm me.

Its based on writing though, so if writing is not your strong side then I suggest to brush up on it.

I`m basically replacing a few of my writers since the quality lacks.

I just sent you a PM! I look forward to hearing from you.

[Kprawn]

I had to laugh today.

People see, you struggle, and they still peddle their scams off onto you.

Anyways...

Still sucking on the free faucets every hour, and getting "small" income from that. {+/- 30 000 Satoshis's per site} We take time to click, whenever someone pass the pc.

Also "clicking" away on "pay-per-ad" sites, so it's a bit extra. {Not all sites paying} e.g. Coinad.

So it's getting there "VERY" slowly.

Hope he reach full member status, and then he can enroll in a signature program. Until then, he is reading everything posted on this forum, to gain more knowledge.

One of these days, he will have his first 1 US dollar ;-> {And at the current exchance rate to our currency, we multiply that, by 10}

Not good when we buy in $.... but good when you earn money. 

So for some of you, who say it's not worth it... remember, we multiply by 10.

[BTCat]

It's easy to earn a dollar or more per day on Second Life.
You can find full permission items to sell or create your own things or offer a service to the zillions of businesses around there.
Heck you could even become a poledancer and get a few dollar per day. Or play on the virtual stock exchange SLCapex.com

After you have Linden$ you need to find someone that likes to trade L$ for Bitcoin or cashout through Paypal.

[Kprawn]

Second Life the game?

$1 income a day to me, doing anything on the internet sounds impossible. We have been trying most of the stuff suggested here, and cannot make $1 per MONTH.

Hopefully, we would find something better soon.

The sites that gives the most, is either a scam or they do not pay.

So at this stage, we swimming backwards ...hmf.

Thanks .... will research that.

Oh yeah, Second Life...

Second Life is a game where you live, basically, another life, but you can withdraw the money that you earn in-game. There's a plethora of things you can do in it.

Now you do need a good computer (I need a good computer too, mine's current one is really bad), but if you have those things, everything else is quite simple.

I suggest using Firestorm to connect:

What is your cost of living though? Like based in USD if possible, how much does it cost you to buy groceries, pay for your home, Internet, etc.?

[ampere9765]

There are much better ways to get $1/day.

Consider making an active forum account, so you have a reputation (full member etc) and sell signature space.

Consider contacting the Devcoin admins and volunteering for an admin position.

If you really still want to do this type of thing, then you are better of on Amazon MechanicalTurk or similar. Pay is very low but likely better.

[Nagato4]

Hope he reach full member status, and then he can enroll in a signature program.

Indeed he can start when he reaches member status (60 activity) and gets 0.0006 per constructive post from UpDown.

You can't volunteer to be an admin for Devcoin. You have to be an active member (and I'll be honest, the writing in this thread is so bad it would result in being denied entrance anyways) and then you are invited to be an admin if you are seen as being a good fit for a position.

He is sitting next to me, while i am chatting on this forum. Involved in everything.

He left school a couple of years ago, so he is noobie in most things.

He is also in a wheelchair, so most of the things he does, is exceptional anyways. {I want to see most people deliver pizzas in a wheelchair, as fast as him.}

Would just be better, if we can get something for him to do from home.

He is also not fast at typing.. so that route is not viable.

Thanks for the rest of the comments everyone.

How did I start in the online world?  I was determined to start from scratch, so I searched up "free ways to make money online"
I found some games, some paid to writes, and ultimately decided to go for paid to click (I'm all past that now, they're all somewhat scams)

Try
http://neobux.com

From there, viewing the advertisements actually were quite beneficial, I discovered newer and better paid to ____ sites and started multitasking online...  Ended up doing like 20 PTCs a day and fiverr... fiverr made me about $100 + a day for over a month, before I decided to quit that (only about 2 hours work most, but I hated doing it; it was too boring).

In the end, I ended up with bitcoin... Which I'm just trying to discover the possibilities now...  So tell your son to not waste his time and just start at bitcoin.  If he has special skills/talents, he could post gigs on fiverr.  If all hope is lost, go with the PTCs.

Good Luck.

[crazyoddman]

If you go to absolutely every site, you maybe can average $1/week. If you're really lucky.

One question, does he own a minecraft account? I may know a way he can average $2/week, depending on how much time he spends.

But "Free" bitcoin sites don't pay out very highly, so I wouldn't expect $1/day.

BUT

(I know the following may belong in the altcoin section) some other crypto currencies are easier and more profitable to mine, and you can exchange those coins into LTC, BTC and others. I have a friend who said he mined with a few $20 usb miners from eBay, and got the full return on investment, trading from the coin to LTC, since the rates are better.

Look around and alive but small crypto currencies, and then research on the internet and eBay. I'm sure that you could make SOME money, but no guarantees, like everything.

And keep the air moving around the miners! They get HOT.

I hope this helps!

$1/week seriously

Yes.

I can confirm that. Faucets don't pay out that much...

[Kprawn]

Yea, I can confirm, the faucets pay out VERY little.

Even if you join a bunch of them, and you stay active, you will not easily reach $1 a week, from that alone.

B.t.w We did register on SecondLife, to see if we can make some money there, but our link {1meg adsl} is so slow, it's not worth even walking around. The lag is VERY bad. {Not the pc specs, because it's a high end gaming pc}

So onto the next thing I guess. We will find the end of the rainbow

Customer Service Agent would be a great work-from-home job to have and probably isn't incredibly different.

[ABitBack]

Surely you want him to aim higher. Paid to website are just for a little bit of extra cash, it doesn't have the responsibility of a job. Teaching him, or setting him down with something to learn to better his chances of getting into what ever career would be my advice, or even create his own business. Lots of areas available within the cryptocurrency world that needs filling.

[Kprawn]

We surely wants him to do better, but if you read the whole thread, you would have seen, what I posted on unemployment in my country.

Until he gets better employment, he has to do something, so we thought it may be a good idea, to ask on this forum.

And I must say, there are a lot of people here, with very creative ideas.

We might just find, something worth doing soon. Until then, the small things count.

If you put the small things together, it fills some of the gaps. {education/experience/income}

When I started this thread, we knew nothing about bitcoins, now everyone in the family are reading and exploring this matter. So only good has come from this.

Thanks guys and gals.

You do need hardware: a computer. The coin isn't "mined" in the traditional sense. You play a game and if you win it (basically race to the end before the timer is out) you get the block reward and the block is generated. It's really an interesting way to handle it. But this means there is no passive mining.

[nickenburg]

Dont let him do the payment sites, its really boring work and it's so little pay.
Maybe invest in a miner for him to mine some altcoins that is gonna be alot more money then those website's
And Its much funner work to look on this forum for the new best altcoin and mine that.

[DolanDuck]

You can wait untill you have 50 activity and then let your son posting everyday in the forum while having the signature sponsored.
This way he can learn much about bitcoins and gain some money.

Am I high...? No cpu,gpu, or asic....

You do need hardware: a computer. The coin isn't "mined" in the traditional sense. You play a game and if you win it (basically race to the end before the timer is out) you get the block reward and the block is generated. It's really an interesting way to handle it. But this means there is no passive mining.

Have you tried the game? Is it super hard?

You can wait untill you have 50 activity and then let your son posting everyday in the forum while having the signature sponsored.
This way he can learn much about bitcoins and gain some money.

Hahaha, talk about child labor lol. jk.

Great plan though 

I find it pretty difficult. I will be giving it another run tonight though to try and understand it better. The concept is great, I just wish it had a better game to play.

Please do not go off topic.

This thread is for all "noobies" to make a little money. They will follow this thread and use these examples to get into bitcoins.

There might even be other unemployed people out there, who might benefit from this.

Keep posting some more examples. It really helped a lot as a starter.

The faucet's yielded about $2 after a month. Still exploring the other options.

Do support jobs online. A lot of companies like DirecTV now hire people from home to do support. You just use their headset with your computer and follow prompts. Not sure how that works for out of the country but they do outsource a lot of jobs so it should be doable.

Check out www.earnbtc.weebly.com for a list of earn sites rather than only faucets. Bitcoinget and such are good at paying decent amounts for certain tasks, everything is easily manageable and a lot more profitable than the faucets.

With all the suggestions so far, what did he tried? Any success?

[forever21]

does he knew something on photoshop? my cousin who is on a wheelchair for a year because of the motorcycle accident find someone or hire someone to teach him something about photoshop and stuff and later on become a graphic designer for some wedding pictures he earn a decent money for his family by accepting a job from some various photo studio maybe it will help him to earn a bucks or if there is some BPO call center in your area then he can try his luck

goodluck with your son

OP (or maybe his son) did try to join the Luckybit sig program, but it seems it is a little bit too late.

Just some feedback. 

I got into this whole Bitcoin thing, to help my son. For months before this, I have been doing research, on all things, related to making money online.

Digital currency is by far the most exciting and entrepreneurial area, of all the things, I have been looking into.

My son got permanent employment, and chose not to work with his dad, which in my view, is a good thing. {He can stand on his own legs} Excuse the pun.

These last couple of months, was a HUGE learning curve, for us all. As a family, we stuck to it, and we did not, just help him, but ourselves too.

I spend HUGE amounts of time, researching all things, related to Crypto Currencies. {Watching video's, listening to Podcasts, reading and more reading} and now, I can say, I can help other newbies, with questions, I asked, when I was new.

To everyone, who contributed, to this tread, Thank you VERY much, from my son and my whole family.

I will be staying here, to contribute to this great forum, and to pay back, with what I have received. {Like in the Pay it forward movie}

I got bitten, by the Bitcoin bug.

[joshraban76]

if he will let his son register on here right now and wait for a couple of months to get him into member status then yes he can earn or else buy some account with a full member status above but i doubt if he can find someone who is selling his account in the meantime let his son browse and read about crypto currency mining thing and what is bitcoin so he will know how it works and he will have some knowledge to reply in some discussion here

[thefaucetlist]

i know how you feel i spent almost 18 months looking for a job i actually had to move to a different state to get work. times can be very tough right now. if i could i would like to direct you to my site he can spend time visiting faucets and earn very little with that but its a start from there you can do your homework and get in to investing and cloud mining. i believe if your willing to do the homework and put in the effort like its a real job then you can make money at it. there is really no such thing as easy money imo even online you have to work hard to be sucessful

i have section for beginners and to get you started in the right direction

[crazyoddman]

Just wondering if your son managed to get started yet....

[thecoindoctor]

Hi Everyone...

I am a super noobie in anything related to Bitcoins.

My Son is currently unemployed for 8 months. {I helped him for most of this period, but he wants to do something on his own}

Our whole family tried to get him work, but things are very hard, and he is still very inexperienced.

Is there a way for him to get about $1 a day from these "FREE" bitcoin sites? {I told him, I would match everything he get, from doing this}

He does all his work I give him during the day, but he needs to do something to keep him going in idle times, when he is not looking for work.

I see most people says, mining Bitcoins as a individual is not worth it, because of power cost {And we life in a country, with the highest cost of electricity in the world}

Please do not post "negative" comments, like...."Tell him to get a real job...etc. etc" {Believe me, we tried}

Any positive and constructive advice, would be very much appreciated.

Ps... I pay for his internet bandwidth and electricity 

Don't mind me lol I'm just strolling through.. help me get started

My son got permanent employment, and chose not to work with his dad, which in my view, is a good thing. {He can stand on his own legs} Excuse the pun.

I'm not seeing the pun here? 

[Kprawn]

The pun is, he is currently in a wheel chair, and he is standing on his own legs. 

Aw well.. He thought it was funny and that is what count.

B.t.w He is enjoying his employment and doing his own thing. He did not need our help after all. Now his Dad got hooked, and enjoying what he
started.

That was nice to know. Good for him.

I'd suggest freelancing if he wants to keep his skills from becoming rusty. It's a better hourly rate than Bitcoin faucets and potential future employers will be more impressed if they see on his resume that he hasn't just been idling while looking for a "real job". Maybe he can post a list of things he can do for Bitcoin in the Services subforum here and pick up some work that way.

Agree that he could try freelance jobs although it is also not that easy to find a client because there are lots of freelancers out there.

LOL I thought it was just me.  Didn't it used to be 'own 2 feet' as opposed to 'legs'?  Either way I'm still not sure how it equates.

 

It's good to hear you and your lad are doing better.  Things are going well for me since too.  I'm now working freelance as a web dev for a local agency.  (not sure how as I'm not that good)  And I'm loving it still doing courses and learning lot's I hope it continues.  We all need a bit of luck sometimes!

If we are on the subject of handouts I'm not exactly a rich man myself!  Please feel free pop a little coin my way if anyone's feeling particularly generous  

[giantkin]
