Earning Steem without posting - Part 1 - FREE STEEM
There are tons of ways to earn rewards on Steemit without actually posting!
And most of them are more fun than a barrel full of monkeys! From contests, and challenges, games, giveaways, and steemgigs, the list goes on and on! If you're having trouble thinking of something to write about, these can be a great way to earn a bit on the side, until you've got a post idea.
I'm still fairly new to steemit. I've only been around for about a month and a half or so. It can be hard to come up with original ideas for posts, and if you don't have a large following yet, it can be very hard to earn a worthwhile reward for the time and effort you put into a meaningful, thought-provoking post. However, in my time here, I've learned that this is a very jubilant and generous community. We're all making "easy" money, so why not spread it around, right? I LOVE IT! Without ever posting a single article or blog post, one can earn more money than they ever have, and even win some cool swag, too!
The first part of this post series will be all about...
These giveaways are often only going to cost you an upvote and a resteem, sometimes you'll be required to follow someone. Cool, trade-off, yeah? Also, many of the lotteries offer free tickets for spreading the word about their games! Here are some of the best ways to get some cash just for showing up.
@maarnio
runs a DAILY Giveaway where you just have to predict how a specific cryptocoin will perform over the next week. 50% of the earnings are split among the winners, but you must have a reputation of 35 or higher to participate.
@msg768
has run a Daily Steem Dollar Giveaway for the last month! All you have to do is upvote the post, and be a follower, and you'll be entered to win an amount dependent on what each post earns.
@steemitlotteries
gives away free tickets to their lottery via a Daily Math Challenge! Just be a follower, upvote the post, and comment with the correct answer, and you're entered to win free tickets!
@theaustrianguy

@lucashunter
gives away 5 Steem Dollars to 4 lucky winners every week in this Giveaway Just upvote, resteem, and comment.
@ianneate
is giving away $50 at random this week. Go jump in, and maybe you'll get a sweet payout!
I've entered most of these giveaways and lotteries, and it only takes a few seconds. There's a bunch of money that people are just passing out! Are you getting some of it? Thanks for reading, and good luck on earning some free steem! The next part of this post series is going to cover the wonderful world of steem post games!
Cool! Until now, I was quite unaware of this side to Steemit. Sound like it could be fun too!
did you really just pay yourself almost two dollars just for commenting on my post?
Yes. I am guessing you don't approve. It not like I am not curating content, if I see content I find valuable I gladly give 100%. I consider self-voting as guaranteed returns on my investment. Not doing so would be a little foolish, considering a good chunk of my money are in Steem longterm now. Would you prefer I cashed out on the high? Come back when you actually risk something being on this site.
LMFAO. So, you invested in the site, and now you should be able to pay yourself, and no one should call it what it is?
I guess that's the reason you've only got 60 followers...
It's no different from any other investment which you receive stakes from. If you hold shares in a stock, you are entitled to dividends from the profits. If you have tons of XEM, you can harvest a lot. As an investor, you expect to have this benefit from the second your money is in. Now, I have a hunch you believe investors simply "pay" themselves doing this. It's just that on Steemit you have to actually manually click a button to give yourself "free cash". The button had you fooled. That's how it really is.
I find it appalling that a Steemian will belittle another's following. ONLY 60 HUMAN BEINGS want to see my content? I am honoured that people value what I have to share, and I appreciate every single one of them.
The jab at your following was a result of stupid ass comments like "Come back when you actually risk something being on this site."
I've "risked" every thing I possibly can. I'm investing in the platform by creating original content and by EARNING the money I receive.
I have two children, a girlfriend on maternity leave, and a bullshit dead end job. Not everyone has $4000 to dump into something so they can justify abusing it.
But it's all good. You'll all learn eventually.

@thatsweeneyguy Thanks again
please remove the upvote from your own comment.
@thatsweeneyguy apologies - that was an error. Done
Sall good man. Thanks for that
Fantastic example of how you do good content on Steemit. I loved this (and learned a ton, too). Thank you!
also just commenting :)
I definitely avoid the ones that require a resteem, since I'm trying to build my own following, and don't want my followers to get irritated at any lack of original content in my feed. But upvotes and writing challenges are easy!
I often don't participate in ones that require a follow. I feel it's buying an audience, which on steemit, i frown upon.
Yeah, that makes sense. Though a follow is free. And I can always unfollow if I find I don't like the content, which I probably won't if all they're doing is asking for follows.
I guess at any stage of this "game" you must ask yourself, "what is of value"? If your time spent scrolling through a feed of dull things is meaningful to you, then follows matter. I rarely look at my feed yet, mostly I look at tags I'm interested in, so, so far, my feed isn't significant. There will come a day when I start pruning my feed I'm sure. On that day, I will probably also no longer be bothering with tiny contests that I don't otherwise enjoy. I already don't mostly.
Oh AND: You know about the contest I'm running? It's not worth a lot, but there are no investment requirements. You just have to make a pun! https://steemit.com/contest/@improv/puns-and-prizes-learn-to-pun-easy-fun-anybody-can-be-a-hit-at-parties

It's already written into part 2 👍
