Fortunately, with the current popularity of Bitcoin, you have plenty of options for going about it. Here are a few of the top ways you can earn Bitcoin without having to do any Bitcoin mining:
Set Up a Crypto Interest Account
A crypto interest account works similarly to an interest-yielding bank account. By putting your Bitcoin in one of these accounts, you will earn interest over time. With compounding interest, the earnings could be substantial if you’re willing to hold them there for the long run – say, if you’re using this as an alternative retirement savings account.
Sell Items Online
If you’re going to sell your items online for Bitcoin, you want to use a reputable Bitcoin marketplace to do so. The one you’ll want to use will also depend on what you’re selling. For example, if you’re trying to figure out how to sell a car, you could use Bitcoin Classifieds. This site allows individuals to list virtually anything and works similarly to Craigslist.

Complete Easy Micro-Tasks
Micro-tasks can range from watching an ad to helping someone else by completing a request they’ve listed on a marketplace (kind of like TaskRabbit). Micro-tasks are increasingly becoming an easy way to earn and you likely see these opportunities all the time. When you’re scrolling on social media, you’re likely presented with pop-ups that ask you to complete a short survey or simply answer a question about a recent ad you’ve been presented. And often, you can be compensated for completing these micro-tasks, even in Bitcoin. While the payment is usually a very small amount, it only takes a few seconds. Plus, if you do them frequently, it can add up.
In addition to the ones you come upon by chance, you can also seek them out yourself with sites that are designed with this purpose in mind, such as:

Though freelancing websites often get a bad rap for being flooded with unreasonable requests, there are still many lucrative opportunities if you’re willing to filter through results for your specialty.
