Guess what? I’d also love to discover more ways on how to earn passive income with cryptocurrency. But let me show you the top five strategies I currently use to make money with Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Shiba, Solana, and just about any other cryptocurrency in the market. These tips are ideal for beginners and advanced traders. Thus, your skill level does not entirely determine how fast you can amass profit with cryptos.
Moreover, you’ll learn how to earn daily from cryptocurrency for free as a beginner without investment or low capital. But if you have some cash to invest, even better since you’ll be well on your way to generating income daily from trading. And remember if it’s passive, it means very little or no work is done to make money. You’ve got the capabilities provided by the blockchain to thank, so let’s get right into it.
What You Need to Earn Passive Income with Cryptocurrency
You need to set up these three basic things to start earning passive income with cryptocurrency. They are:
- A cryptocurrency exchange account
- A cryptocurrency wallet
- An active social media account
Let me briefly explain each of the outlined above.
1. Setup a Cryptocurrency Exchange Account
You can set up a cryptocurrency exchange account on Binance, Kucoin, Gate.io, or Bybit.
These are some of the most popular crypto exchanges in the world. They are also the platforms I use for trading.
Simply register an account on two or more of these exchanges, and then complete the know-your-customer (KYC) verification which is required by the exchange.
The KYC procedure is where you verify your identity and location. As such, you might have to submit a means of identification (passport, BRP, driver’s license, national identity card, etc.) and make a selfie video.
2. Create a Cryptocurrency Wallet
While crypto exchanges have wallets, they are centralized wallets.
A centralized wallet means the exchange still has full control of your funds. You do not have private keys, unlike a decentralized wallet where you get private keys to access your funds from any supported wallet.
The idea here is to move your profits from a centralized wallet to a decentralized one, which is more secure.
Thus, create a decentralized wallet such as Trustwallet or Exodus wallet. This wallet will be used to store your crypto daily earnings.
It’s important that you separate your investment or capital that will be held on the centralized wallet, from your profit, held on the decentralized wallet.
3. Create a Social media Account
Telegram has become more popular among crypto enthusiasts and investors.
There are a lot of ongoing crypto projects on Telegram you can earn from. Some recently concluded ones are Notcoin, Dogs, Cati, Hamster Kombat, and X Empire.
Hence, create a Telegram account and even Twitter.
Why Twitter? you may wonder.
Twitter is where the buzz around crypto is, hence, you need to be among the first to get any news that will be dropped.
One thing about the crypto market is being the first to trade the news can also make you good money.
Once you’ve put these three required things in place, proceed to the next section of this guide.
Best Ways to Generate Passive income from Crypto
These are the best ways to generate passive income from cryptocurrency:
1. Learn How to Trade and Teach Others
Earning potential: $100 to $500 per month
There are a lot of PDFs, Udemy courses, and YouTube videos that will teach you technical and fundamental analysis of the crypto market.
YouTube channels by Rayner Theo and Jared Wesly helped me learn trading. These channels revealed some of the best strategies to realistically earn passive income using a cryptocurrency app.
Visit these trading YouTube channels, save the videos, and learn from them dedicatedly.
Further, some free and paid courses I got from Udemy also improved my trading knowledge.
Here are some courses that helped me learn to trade:
Once you have the theoretical knowledge, practicalize it on Tradingview to master the art. Tradingview is an application for analyzing crypto prices.
Try to predict market movements using the concepts you’ve learned from these popular traders.
When you’ve mastered these concepts, you can teach others.
Guess what? I earn $100 to $500 per each person I teach trading. Is that hard to believe? Check the images below!
I also offer crypto trading signals. You too can do the same!
Here’s what the mentorship and signal subscription service looks like:
Now that you know how to learn trading easily and teach others for passive income.
Let’s go to the next step.
2. Setup a Crypto Tiktok or YouTube Channel
You can also generate passive income from trading by creating a TikTok or YouTube channel dedicated to posting only crypto content.
You may have to use a different phone or computer for this so that the algorithm or cookies working on your current account do not impact the new account.
Once your new account has been set up, try these tips. I’ll use TikTok as an example but these tips are also applicable on YouTube.
a. Build an Indirect Traffic Source from Tiktok
Post at least two to three quality videos daily on your new crypto TikTok account to help it grow.
Note, it is important that you post trending crypto content. For instance, Blum airdrop is a currently trending keyword and generally airdrops. Consider building a niche of verified airdrops.
Do the following:
- Type random keywords on the Tiktok search bar will suggest other keywords or topics you can create videos on.
- Pick long-tail keywords since they are not too broad. It’s better to target specific words than broad ones that may not make your video go viral.
- Optionally, use a TikTok keyword tool to find keywords and their search volume, which you can create content on.
Here’s an image showing other keywords I could target in my new videos:
Over and above that, go to the overview section of Tiktok content analytics to discover search keywords people are using to locate your current videos and then incorporate those keywords in your video’s title and description.
In the image below, you can see the search terms or queries people used to find my videos. I could choose to create new videos with topics on these terms.
Also, go to TikTok channels similar to yours and look at videos that give them high views and comments, and try to create videos on similar topics.
As your audience and engagement grow gradually, you can direct the traffic to other social media accounts such as Telegram where you have your airdrop apps.
Here’s what my account crypto Tiktok account looks like:
I was able to get 89 referrals on my Hamster Kombat airdrop using a TikTok channel.
While the price of Hamster Kombat tokens did not turn out as people expected, what if it had?
I would’ve earned at least $500 to $1000 from the referrals I’d amassed.
Now no crying over spilt milk because I was also able to amass referrals to the Blum airdrop and even for my referrals as well.
This means that I don’t even have to play the Blum game to earn points because each time I open the app, I claim free points that were generated by my referrals.
Do you see where I’m going with this?
Owing a TikTok or even YouTube channel dedicated to crypto where you post technical analysis, reviews, etc. about the market, can help you earn passive income without investing money.
Another great thing is, that channels in this niche are easy to grow due to the onset of the 2025 bull market. The hype around crypto is building up again, which means a lot of people are interested in this niche.
Here, you can see how my content went viral from a three-week TikTok account.
I got around 1000 to 2000 followers on some videos as shown below.
Now if you’re in countries where you’re eligible for the creator rewards program, then this can serve as an extra source of income.
You get to earn from the videos you’ve posted on the TikTok channel once you have at least 10,000 followers. Think of it as a good way to earn with crypto using TikTok creator rewards program.
So you see, in one way or the other, you can earn from crypto passively.
b. Publicize Crypto Projects on Your Tiktok Channel
As your channel grows, project owners will message you to promote their coins, and that means another opportunity for you to earn.
Based on your agreement with them, you could post around 50 to 100 videos monthly and earn $500 to $1000.
Here’s a screenshot of a potential project that reached out to me for promotion. It’s up to you to negotiate based on the value you offer and the popularity of your account.
The first step is creating a TikTok or YouTube channel and posting quality SEO-optimized videos on it.
Short videos (between 11 to 13 seconds) are better since people’s attention spans get shorter by the day. Your retention rate has to be high for TikTok to keep pushing your video to people’s for you page (FYP).
You can then increase the length of the video (30 seconds to 1 minute) as your channel’s visibility grows.
A quick word though, you might want to settle more on YouTube because it is less stringent about crypto content, unlike Tiktok which may flag your videos a couple of times.
c. Earn with Affiliate Marketing from Tiktok
Recall I’d ask that you spend a few months learning how to trade professionally.
If you do, then you can write crypto trading guides in the form of PDFs, videos, ebooks, etc., and offer these trading eBooks for sale.
Where will you sell the content? Right on the social media channels you’ve built.
So you see, every little effort pays off in the end.
I tested out one of my eBook & video courses to see how my audience will respond to it. While the response was positive, there were issues converting into a sale, hence certain tweaks had to be made.
Nonetheless, the point is, that there is an opportunity for you to earn from premium/paid materials you create.
Give it a try!
3. Join the Binance Launchpool
Don’t want to spend money to earn cash in crypto? Join the airdrops on Binance Lauchpool.
The Launchpool is where you stake Binance coin or FDUSD for other tokens.
So you have to buy BNB or FDUSD using your new or existing Binance account. This means if you’ve missed mining any airdrop, you can still get its tokens by joining the Launchpool.
Interestingly, you can even get more tokens than miners of the airdrop depending on the amount you stake.
For example, I was able to get $15 worth of CATI tokens for free just by staking around $1000 worth of Binance coin (BNB). Whereas most miners at the time got $2 worth of CATI.
While my returns might not seem like much, these were free tokens for doing nearly nothing!
I still had my BNB tokens which had appreciated in price but with an extra $13 in my wallet.
Meanwhile, some people staked BNB for Dogs tokens and got over $100 worth of dogs. (screenshot)
Now you can choose to sell the tokens you get immediately or hold them for their price to spike.
4. Scalp the Crypto Market
Scalping is where you take small profits from the crypto market daily. You can get the Big Bucks Trader course to learn more about scalping.
I earn around $50 to $100 on a good day just by taking advantage of small movements in the market.
I then send these profits to my Trustwallet to ensure I don’t trade them again. That’s because you can get tempted to retrade your profit, hence separating it in another crypto app such as a decentralized wallet ensures you can’t access the funds easily.
You can see the screenshots of some trading profits in one week. I accumulate these profits daily from my Binance and Gate.io accounts and send them to my Trust wallet.
At the end of the month, I can then withdraw the profits while also having my capital to trade again.
That being said, high-level trading skill is needed to scalp. Hence, if you are a beginner, try medium to long-term trading instead.
Here, you’ll look to enter and exit the market every two days or weeks. This keeps the risk level very low.
5. Transact on Peer-to-peer (p2p) Exchanges
What if you could buy USDT cheap and sell off for some profit?
Don’t know where you can buy cheap USDT? Simply buy from any exchange of your choice after analyzing the chart of USDT with your local currency.
For instance, my local currency is GBP. I could analyze the USDT/GBP pair and then wait to buy when the price hits a level of support.
I’ll also look to sell off the USDT at a resistance level.
If you’re in Nigeria, you can analyze the USDT/NGN pair and find opportunities to trade.
Once you do, you can buy and sell on Gate.io or ByBit using the P2P function on both exchanges.
Consider using a freemium VPN such as Windscribe if your location is restricted. Locations such as Norway and Hong Kong have limited restrictions.
On the other hand, always check that the person you’re transacting with has high rating on the P2P platform. It’s also important to check if they’ve made many trades to ensure their reliability.
Here are some buy transactions I made on Gate.io. I could store the USDT and sell off at a later time when the rate has increased significantly.
Conclusion
You now know how to earn passive income with cryptocurrency, what’s stopping you? Don’t be confused as to where to start from, choose just one strategy and let it be your task for the month.
You can decide to learn trading intensely for the next three months using the PDFs and videos I recommended. In three months, you would’ve improved your skill and confidence in the market, enough to teach others.
But if you’d rather earn fast from crypto, then options like P2P trading, staking, and airdrops are recommended options.
Staking ensures you can get the free tokens within days and sell them off, while P2P trading allows you to make a tangible profit from small price swings.
Keep in mind that you may need large capital to get a good profit from P2P trading.
Whichever strategy you choose to make passive income from crypto, put your best effort into it.
