Does earn.com really give free Bitcoin?
It does, but the real question is - Is it worth the effort?
I discovered a little website called earn.com from the #BeerSaturday creator @detlev. Mr Detlev wrote about this site quite some time ago, and I've been using the site ever since with the view to write about my experience here on Steemit. Which I never really got around doing until now.

Earn.com is a site where you get invited to complete simple tasks and in return you get paid a small sum of Bitcoin. The site claims that you can earn anywhere from $1 to $100 for completing tasks. And it seems that if you have skills and high level knowledge in blockchain, engineering and other IT related skills then you may very well be able to earn at the higher end of the spectrum. If you're a well established investor or influencer then you might find yourself in demand in the platform as well.
You receive jobs by applying to be included on "lists" which match your skills and knowledge. And given that I don't have a background in IT and my knowledge of Blockchain is entirely self taught, the lists that I am on are for all fairly low value tasks. As a result, I only get contacted by companies launching new ICOs and wanting me to sign up to their Telegram channel and other platforms. And by doing so, I receive the equivalent of $1 US dollar in Bitcoin per task.
So, for the minimal time that I've put into earn.com thus far, I've made around $25 in Bitcoin which I have transferred to Bittrex and converted into Steem Power. I should mention though, that through the process I've had to sign up to numerous email lists. So if you're going to get involved, I'd recommend setting up a separate email address so that you don't get your main account spammed with endless emails for ICOs etc.

It's also very sporadic with the job requests. So while I've mentioned that I haven't put much time into this, the time has been spread over numerous weeks. And it can be a little distracting seeing these job requests pop up from time to time. The job requests also have a time limit on them, so if you leave them too long they will expire.
One of the good things about the site is that you can transfer any amount you like to an off site wallet. My first transfer was worth all of $11 in Bitcoin. So at least the site has passed my first and most important test:
Yes, you can actually earn Bitcoin from earn.com.
Will you make a tonne of money there? Probably not. Is it worth your time and energy? Maybe, but you could invest that time into creating content on Steemit and quite probably make the same amount of money, if not more. Will I continue using earn.com? Well, I've just applied to be included on some extra lists which might lead to higher paying jobs, so yes, I'll give it another month. And I'll certainly report back if I make anything worthwhile from the site.
If you're curious and want to give it a shot, you can get a little bonus by using my referral link, and naturally, I'll get a little kick back as well.

Hi! I'm a bot, and this answer was posted automatically. Check this post out for more information.
You could be spot on there @magic8ball.
@mazzle wow!!! Earn.com is nice website for earning.
Well, that's not really what I said. You don't have to be overly positive on Steemit. You can be critical if you like.
No. It will be better if we give our time in real thing from where we can use our creativity. To me i think these sites are damaging our creativity. if we use our creativity in real world, we will not only make money but also if we get lucky we can get fame. These sites are for losers.
I think you have a been a bit harsh here. You are using a lot of steem bots to promote your content. I randomly checked some of your posts - they are not bringing real value, they are poorly written. (See the fragment attached). So for some, posting that type of content and using bots to promote it might seem like something a loser will do, but nobody really calls your that here. So, please show some respect to @mazzle here - he actually came up with a really good and thought through explanation on how earn.com is working (and it's a legit service owned by Coinbase).
Thanks for this mate. I checked his “content” as well but decided not to comment about it.
probably my manners are worse :) welcome :)
Thanks for calling me a loser for using this site. But I do agree that our time would be better spent being creative. I was just wanting to give an honest assessment of the site. It has made me a few dollars but not enough to get me excited at all.
Instead of bitcoin, why not steem as payment method.
I converted everything to Steem without much effort.
I wonder how this idea works i.e. they get tasks from clients and they pay people for completing them, this is not logical. Are they getting paid by the traffic which is coming on the website and sharing what they are earning?
Obviously, there is no free money. The amount is too low to invest time here if you have limited knowledge, Steem is a better idea as compared.
I suspect that the clients putting up the tasks are paying to have them listed. You’re right that the amount you earn is pretty pathetic. But if you’re in a country where the US dollar is worth a lot then it might be worthwhile. I imagine people in Indonesia or Nigeria might do well from it.
Great approach ... thanks for helping people.
I start to receive less offer from Earn recently and does not approve my referrals.
I use freebitco.in.com
Thanks sharing @mazzle, such faucets are not bad and are currently of great help to me. I've never come across this site so i'll surely give it a try
Glad to help. :)
