One thing you may hear a lot is that to under­stand Bitcoin, you have to get some skin in the game and actually have some Bitcoin of your own. Well, what if I told you there are ways you can earn extra Bitcoin or get off zero if you don’t own any?

Whether you are just starting to stack some sats or a Bitcoin veteran that is a relent­less stacker, here are 5 ways to add more Bitcoin to your freedom stash.

“It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on. If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.” 

 — Satoshi Nakamoto 

1. Get Paid To Onboard New Bitcoiners with Swan Bitcoin

Earning Poten­tial: High

Category: Affiliate/Referral

Location: Global

Company: Swan Bitcoin

Cost: Free

Quick Bit: Each person you refer will get $10 of free Bitcoin when they sign up with Swan, and as an affil­iate, you will receive 25% of Swan’s fees on every purchase they make for one entire year. Swan customers and non-customers qualify. Sign Up Here.

As a Bitcoiner, our mission is simple. Onboard as many people on the Bitcoin train as possible. One of the most successful ways of doing this is by educating people and giving them their first “orange-pill”. This usually comes in the form of a book, podcast, or article that intro­duces Bitcoin to an individual. 

Wouldn’t it be great if you could get paid for every time you orange-pilled someone?

Well, you can with Swan Force! Swan Force is a global Swan Bitcoin referral program with payouts in Bitcoin. When you join Swan Force, you’ll get a custom URL and landing page, which also offers Yan Pritzker’s book “Inventing Bitcoin” for free. 

Each person you refer will get $ 10 of free bitcoin when they sign up with Swan, and as an affil­iate, you will receive 25% of Swan’s fees on every purchase they make for one entire year.

Affil­iate marketing programs, such as Swan Force, have become a popular way to earn extra Bitcoin. The Swan Force program was built for influ­encers and bloggers, as well as the everyday person that just likes to talk about Bitcoin with family and friends. 

Our Swan team is also constantly working on ways that we can help you succeed with onboarding people. As a new member, you will get the chance to schedule a 1‑on‑1 call with our Swan Force managing director so that she can guide you through best practices and tips and tricks on how to get started sharing your custom Swan Force link once approved. 

Swan Force can also become a very lucra­tive revenue stream for members that onboard affil­i­ates, high-net-worth individ­uals, or even businesses with Swan. Our top Swan Force members have earned more than one full Bitcoin by spreading their links far and wide. 

2. Daily Earning Opportunities Straight From Your Phone 

Earning Poten­tial: Medium-High

Category: Sats-back

Location: USA

Compa­nies: Fold and Lolli

Cost: Fold (Free — $150 Annual Fee for Premium Users) Lolli (Free)

Quick Bit: With the Fold Visa Debit Card at partic­i­pating retailers or buy a prepaid gift card from our selec­tion of top stores. Lolli gives you free Bitcoin or cash when you shop at over 1,000 top stores. Download the apps to your phone. 

Earning Bitcoin for free sounds too good to be true, especially when you just need your phone. But it’s a reality with Fold and Lolli. Download both apps, create an account, and start earning today! 

Fold offers one daily spin for a chance to earn free satoshis and other prizes. Addition­ally, with the Fold Card, you can make sats back on your purchases and get multiple spins per day. (Several whole Bitcoins have been awarded to users of this app!)

Lolli has a slightly similar offering, but instead of spinning a wheel, you’re presented with a treasure chest to open, which consis­tently gives out over 100 sats daily!

If you have zero Bitcoin, this is an easy way to stack!

Pro Tip: There are times when you can buy from a Lolli-approved store and then use your Fold card to pay. This means that you will get double sats back. 

3. Get Cash-Back in Bitcoin When You Shop Online

Earning Poten­tial: Medium

Category: Cash-back, Sats-back

Location: USA

Company: Lolli

Quick Bit: Lolli partners with top stores that pay us when you shop. Once you make a purchase, merchants pay us, and then they pay you, sending you free bitcoin or cash to your Lolli wallet. 

Download Chrome Exten­sion here.

In addition to the free daily stack on the Lolli-app, earn Bitcoin back on purchases by adding their exten­sion to your browser. When you’re on a Lolli partner site, the exten­sion will turn green to signal it’s active (stay logged in to see this). The best part of the exten­sion is free. 

Here are some of the retailers that partner with them:

  • Expedia

  • Chewy

  • Sephora

  • Nike

  • Adidas

  • Bloomingdale’s

What’s incred­ible is that the cash back can be as high as 27%, and new retailers are added frequently.

Some recom­mended job sites to check out are:

If you’re a freelancer, create an account on platforms like Cash App, and have customers send you Bitcoin through the app. Either have them scan your QR code or use the tag associ­ated with your profile (this will begin with $).
