Need help getting my son started {unemployed}

[mezmerizer9]

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 

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!

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.

Never know what might end up coming your way.


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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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:
