Given that more and more friends around me are entering the cryptocurrency space, some people are busy with work and don't have time to gather information, while others are focused on trading and haven't paid attention to mining yet. However, during this time, the market is quite unstable; layoffs are being announced in the job market, and Bitcoin and Ethereum are fluctuating at low levels. Therefore, the more stable and cost-effective mining opportunities have come back into everyone's view. Whether it's brushing ALPHA, participating in new projects, saving money, staking, or even just mining with your mouth, there are still friends who haven't systematically understood what it is, what it has, whether it's worth doing, and how to do it.
Therefore, I have compiled some opportunities I have encountered along with the gains I received, and selected some relatively reliable projects to create a collection of materials. I hope that new users can join in; whether big or small, it’s good as long as you don’t spend money!
Currently, the projects that are more suitable for newbies and low-barrier participation can be roughly divided into three directions:
One, complete tasks, make trades, brush points, and exchange for airdrops—
The most typical example is Binance ALPHA, where the cost is essentially the wear and tear from each transaction, such as gas fees, transaction fees, and slippage. Experienced users can keep it to around 0.0 something per transaction; you just need to have some capital to brush the data. If you stop, your capital is still yours, which means there’s almost no cost and the barrier to entry is low. I have already brought three friends who are outside the circle to operate.
The process is also very simple:
Prepare a Binance account with real-name authentication.
Newbies can put in a few hundred U to brush the ALPHA leaderboard, accumulating points based on the corresponding trading volume. When your total points reach the threshold for the airdrop, you can directly claim it. There are many tutorials on brushing ALPHA on Twitter and Xiaohongshu, so I won’t elaborate here.
Note that with the new rules, tasks done with a balance of less than 100 U will not be counted.
Earnings situation:
In September, I earned $COAI $XPL $MIRA $FF $EDEN, many were several tens to over a hundred dollars, and one sold for over 200 dollars, totaling about 500 dollars.
In October, the studio influx occurred, and I only received 42 from a project that sold for 40 U, but I simultaneously participated in 2 TGEs (saving for new projects) and earned around 300 dollars, and one Booster for about 40 U. Tomorrow I plan to do another TGE, which will total around 500 dollars.

Two, truly zero-cost participation tasks—
The platform actually sends tweets for various projects, and the project parties automatically calculate tweet points based on the algorithm that recognizes data and content. Tokens will be distributed according to the point rules before the TGE, and there is no need to pay any fees throughout the process.
The platforms I have participated in include @KaitoAI and @cookiedotfun, which should be considered the top of the participation scene. The recently emerging @RiverdotInc is also quite good, having listed many good projects and creating wealth for a batch of KOLs/KOCs. Generally, those eligible for airdrops are often in the tens of dollars, and those with significant influence may receive thousands of dollars. For example, today I saw @0xKingsKuan received a big amount.
The process is also very simple:
Choose a platform you like, enter the official website, log in with Twitter, and bind your wallet.
Check out the recent projects available for participation and choose the ones you are interested in to follow.
Interact daily with the project officials and top participants on the platform, post tweets with project tags, and mention the project parties. There are many tutorials on how to write for the platform available on Twitter, you can check my past articles or search for them yourself.
Earnings situation:
For a certain project, I sent about 3.4 posts, and in the end, I received an airdrop worth around 50 dollars. I didn't stick with it for too long after that; for reference, see the top participant @0xKingsKuan.

Three, tasks such as new projects and deposits require some capital but have considerable returns.
I have been researching recently and will open a separate article for explanation next time.
So I really believe that those with little capital or novices in this circle also have many opportunities to make money. Like ALPHA, then doing new projects, and if you seriously engage in activities like this, I believe it is possible to earn a few thousand a month, which is comparable to a monthly salary.
But what might hold back most newbies is the two words 'perseverance,' so I encourage myself here to keep going!
