How do I make a passive income from crypto?

Crypto is a very risky but highly profitable market to invest in. We are at a time where one can invest a small amount in a highly profitable market without needing to invest large sums. Though crypto requires deep analysis and filtering, it presents a great opportunity for young investors like me who don't want to park their money in fiat currency and watch inflation erode its value.

For ppl who think there is no good in crypto, and it is all about scam
The crypto world has brought a lot of changes to how we view things in the world. It gave us the control over our money, and the anonymity with it. Ofc there are a lot of scammy projects which are trying to rip people of, but it is indifferent to the scams that exist in other firms of investments as well. A huge real world values are being provided with decentralized finance, physical infrastructure networks, scientific researches, etc.. I will put some pictures in the comment section.

In my view, the legit, less risky (ofc crypto is risky) and non-scammy ways to make money from crypto are (which I am doing rn):

1. Investing in projects/coins which are undervalued to the value they provide
One example is when BNB was undervalued few years ago despite having the platform binance on its hand. Ppl who invested in BNB at the early days are now on many folds of profit. The easy way to look for this is looking at the current value of the project and asserting on solutions and values it has to offer, then compare it with existing projects in the market which are close to this project and see if this one is really undervalued or not

2. Swing trading with notable crypto's which usually bounce from the average price, but get to the average price quickly
I like how I make income from this.. crypto is very unstable market.. price go up and down regularly. So, what I do here is, I have list of coins in my bucket which I have observed that they usually bounce down but get back to their average price quickly. So, when they go below the average price, I buy them, and when they get back to their average price I sell them. It is usually around 10 ~ 20% profit. To be honest, for now, I only have the TON coin in my list which I trust for this type of trading, but I will look for more when I have the time

Overall,
I don't trust crypto to take my whole focus, and I only look up to it in my free time. I believe in developing high value skills or businesses for the long run than speculating on cryptos. So, you may try it as a side income, but don't let it shift your focus.

If you play chess regularly, what is the reason behind you playing regularly? 😁

Me: It is one of the only games I think I am somehow good at 😅 ... additionally, it helps me focus and improve my problem solving skills..

My freelancing journey

In this post, I wanna share how I got into freelancing and things that helped me stand out. I am a level two seller on Fiverr working as a desktop app developer.

How did I get into freelancing?
So, my way into freelancing was because of being part of the Tech With Tim discord server. Tim released a new video on how he made $500 freelancing online with basic stuff on Fiverr. It became the topic of talk in the server and many ppl started opening Fiverr profile. I said to myself why not and opened my profile in december, 2020.

How did I get my profile growing?
I knew opening gigs on Fiverr with well known skills and getting orders from those were nearly impossible as a starter. So, I researched on things that are in demand but less freelancers were focusing on it. I stumbled upon Network programming. It was basically about building basic tcp/udp stuff for uni students. I guess, I was the 4th person to open that gig on Fiverr. Since we were few, we controlled the market for a while and I grew my profile with that. But nowadays, this gig is not working as much, because the clients are students, and AI is helping them now.

Later on, I did open many gigs, but non of them outperformed except, again, for my avalonia desktop app development gig. I was literally the second person to open that gig on Fiverr. Though there are not many order requests I receive from this gig, I get to hold my clients for long, since avalonia development service is very rare.

———————————

In another upcoming post, I will explain the process behind how I create outstanding gigs on Fiverr.
Stay tuned 🔥

Btw, for the ppl who use the Lunacy designing app for graphics design, the desktop app is built with Avalonia.

For those who don't know Lunacy, it is just like Figma, and it is free. More about it here.

Finally,
A heavy cloud has lifted,
after the storm of focus and might,
now the sky is clear and bright,
the path ahead unburdened, open wide.

Continuation from the post here

How do I create outstanding gigs on Fiverr?
This section is specific to Fiverr only. The first thing I do when I create gigs is I try to look for similar gigs in the market. Then, I do the following analysis on them:
1. Their pricing structure
2. Tags they used to make their gig appear well on the search
3. What they have written in the denoscription section
4. The thumbnail they used

After the analysis, I don't directly copy everything, rather, I take insights on things that were missing in my gig, and put my own touch on top of it. I update my own touch regularly. It can be specific things you mention about your character or specific service you give along the way. It is necessary to make you outstand. After creating the gig, I regularly try to look for changes I can make to my pricing structure, denoscription, tags, etc...

Secondly, being niche specific is good as a starter since the market is already overwhelmed with many high rated freelancers who give their gig a general name like "I will develop mobile apps" and control the market. if you are a mobile developer with some tech, let us say .NET MAUI, then, giving it tags like maui, dotnet, csharp, and then naming the gig "I will develop mobile apps with .NET MAUI" will give you a better chance of getting order than giving it a general name. After you start receiving orders, and the visibility of your gigs are going well, you may eventually go back to the general naming.

General naming is better as your gig grows because, often, clients just want their idea developed and don't really care about the tech stack. Or if there are some aware of it, you can probably succeed in convincing them to use your tech stack. If you do general naming at the start, it is hard for you to compete with the giants in the market. So, being niche specific, then eventually generalizing is a better approach. For example, I started with "I will develop cross-platform desktop apps with Avalonia" to "I will develop cross-platform desktop apps".

💡I hope these insights helped. If you have questions, let me know in the comments!
If you are already an established freelancer on Fiverr or elsewhere, would love if you could share your experience 😊

Three months ago, I was at 500 Elo in rapid chess. Now, I’m comfortable enough to say that I am a four-figure chess player 😅

I was just reading this comprehensive and detailed guide to filters in ASP .NET. I have been using Microsoft documentations well since I got to be a .NET dev, and I cannot really appreciate enough of the style and process of documentation writing Microsoft follows. For those .NET devs who prefer reading, Microsoft documentation is all you can ask for 💎

Just won a rapid chess match with a whopping 62 moves at 89.1% accuracy. It is barely achievable to get that accuracy with 30+ moves for someone who just got into the four-figure rating 😄

No mistakes, misses and blunders.
And as usual, no brilliant moves 🥲
