Making $10,000 and above from Airdrop, Still possible?

[nakmantu99]

I personally doubt the possibility of making $10k through air drop campaigns. It would have been possible if we are still on thee old era between 2016/2017 when new start up projects were very sincere to distribute airdrops rewards. I very sure that air drops bounty campaign or whatever airdrop that is named can distribute $10k rewards per participants.
It is practically impossible this days to see a sincere airdrops campaigns that will pay participants even $100 each. I have been following some airdrops campaigns for the past one year, unfortunately none of them care to even pay participants after the campaign ends.

Yes, the possibility of getting rewards from airdrops up to $10K seems impossible to achieve at this time, I asked friends who actively participate in airdrops, their average income is $100 for each event at this time.
In the past, in 2016/2017, we saw airdrops as very valuable, but now it is less valuable. Moreover, airdrop participants are increasing and I also see many friends who are starting to be active in airdrops even though they previously did not know the crypto world.

Airdrops are currently less valuable, unlike airdrops in 2017 and earlier. and the bounty at that time was still worth it. I used to participate in airdrops but wasn't really focused so I didn't get that much reward.
Maybe those who focused on airdrops at that time have gotten a lot of rewards and the capital to buy crypto assets is now large.

Yeah, you are right we have to give time to airdrops we can't just make $7k or $10k just by doing small tasks, there must be swapping or trading types of airdrops or where we have to add liquidity, etc. I have joined more than 200 airdrops till now and have not make more than $1k yet some are still going to pay us like on the way while a dozen paid off them and I made around $700 but unfortunately, I made a lost of $500 due to my carelessness well that's another topic.

The income that we can make from airdrops is really good but we have to give special time to them and we have to keep the whole work organized which also takes more time. I have to write every data on spreadsheet about the airdrops I joined and what I did and the source etc.

Nowadays, given the huge numbers of participants it is rare to earn $1,000 up and the luck of joining a successful airdrop and project that will attract a lot of investors due to use case and that is very isolated because based on my observation earnings from airdrops currently ranges from $10-$100 is good if lucky enough to join and do the tasks.

The participants are extraordinary because those who are usually inactive also join, so it is not impossible that there are a lot of followers. Indeed, if you look at the prizes that have been obtained so far, I have not seen anyone who can reach $ 1K, but half of them, I have known because he is my link. Actually he benefits because the referrals who participate are very many and active so they get additional points, if it is purely his own results it will be difficult to reach $100. But there are benefits with the number of airdrops, crypto is getting more and more familiar and the risk is that there are also a lot of competitors for airdrops.

Now the question I seek your answer and opinion on is, Looking at how far crypto have come, and how much alot of things have changed, is it still possible for an average person to make $10,000 and above from an airdrop?

Personally, I made my first $7,800 from an airdrop way back in 2017/2018, a friend of mine made $13,400 in the same year, and several other made huge sums between $10,000 to $100,000 or more through airdrops in the early days of crypto.

My experience of making $7,800 from an airdrop in 2017/2018 was the first, and unfortunately, the last till date.

Yes, but there are 2 factors that would affect whether you will make that amount of money or not.
1. If you're a popular influencer and you have a lot of referrals. I mean A LOT!!!! In that way, there's a high chance that you will get a huge allocation of the token airdrop because of referrals.
2. Investing into these airdrop projects. Let's face it. There's no free lunch nowadays already and if there is, you need to work hard and hope for the best that you will be paid.

$10,000 worth of money from these airdrops are more likely possible if you invest a lot of money from these airdrops. I still remember when the Manta Network launched an airdrop, and these influencers have lots of referrals but at the same time, they invested a lot of money into it. They're the ones who got the most money from it and there's nothing wrong with it. They can so they will.

I still remember that time back in 2017/2018 where airdrops and at the same time, ICOs are very popular, and many changed their lives participating in these ones. At that time, you can participate and can make 4-5 digits FOR FREE. Now, it's impossible unless you have 1 or even both of what I said above. You're lucky that you made that huge amount of money at that time. I'm still a newbie during that time hence, I didn't maximize the hype of ICOs and airdrops.

right... at that level, I think someone has succeeded with their personal branding, and if the market is airdrop participants, like you become a potential airdrop informant, then it's on track and your chances of getting more money are easier...

but if it turns out that the personal branding you build is not on the airdrop, it also won't be optimal... it all depends on the type of audience that follows you... adjusting it based on the audience's interests, of course makes it a better opportunity.

I seem to have read something that I'm not sure if it's in this forum or the other forum that says it's still possible to earn $10,000 in airdrops if it's 2017 to 2018, but if this is the time we're facing, even I don't think that is attainable anymore, especially since the way of airdrops now seems very far from the times of 2017.

Then the airdrops. Even now, I notice that in order for them or us to be eligible participants, you have to give 0.1 or 0.5 tons to the address they will give to their airdrops. This kind of behavior or strategy of the developers is an open fraud and is openly destroying the old tradition of airdrops before.

[Faisal2202]

Agreed, almost all airdrops nowadays are considered to be of a comparatively lower value than users did expect during the period of 2014-2017 and even earlier. Airdrops and bounties paid much more back then since many cryptocurrencies were still in the process of developing, and there were not many competitors. Also, initially only a select few paid much attention to airdrops, which meant that if a person wanted to get big rewards, he could quickly become one of the most active participants.

Today, although there are airdrops, the number of participants and the projects that may be more numerous and possibly much more niche oriented make the probabilities of success much lower and hence the probable rewards much smaller. This does not apply to those that set their sights and are very keen to take part in airdrop programs right from the start, but for such, it can actually make a fairly large amount of capital for their current cryptos. However, for instance, those who do not dedicate much attention to such events or ‘’casual’’ participants, there can be no chance to get big rewards at that time.

That's not fully true that the early participants make more money because I have joined a lot of airdrops right from the start and not a one day passed for like in 2 months when I don't have worked on them and still at the end I get few dollars that really suck and demotivating, so that's why I start joining all the airdrops that come into the market. There was this game which token is going to be given to Bybit users and to win the reward, our rank must be like three to four level up like from Silver to Gold etc. And I played that game for 11 hours and still did not win (I don't blame them because it was a competition and my plan was to join from 10 accounts but I did not due to lack of time and resources).

But the point where you said if one is very keen and doesn't leave a stone unturned then he will definitely make a big stash from airdrops and that would be enough to kickstart their journey in crypto world like they can do trading, investments and join other project's private sales etc.

I think the current airdrop is less valuable because we have to pay gas fee to make a claim, it seems like a scam if the rewards are small. I do not participate in airdrops, I only follow the paid BTC bounty because it is more valuable and is always paid every week.
Airdrops for me are just a waste of time because the results are small for now.

It is correct that some airdrops today still have gas fees, and often the returns are not high, but many large projects first have airdrops that are advantageous to the communities. If we look at the airdrop on Uniswap that occurred last year for example, people were gifted UNI tokens that at the time held substantial value and all of this without having to pay through the nose in terms of gas fees. It remains popular to use an airdrop to create a first audience for many promising projects, and high value awaits those who can wait. However, some airdrops from good projects can be still profitable, at least in some extent, if we will be wise and only following the reliable ones.

IMO 2020-2022 was better for airdrops than 2017-'18. During 2020-'22 there were more significant amount airdrops than any time before (UNI, DYDX, RBN to name a few).

I always considered TON airdrops as waste of time, even if there was no payment was required.

You will pay them 0.5 Ton and gas fees will not amount to that; the developers will probably use 0.1 or less to pay for the fees and the remaining will go to the developers pocket, Not only that, these airdrops have premium offer; if you want to have an edge over other participants or to advance your account, you will have to pay certain fees or buy stars.
So they are already making a living out of these actions, airdrops are getting worse, I wonder what would be another concept of airdrop in the future, I like the old ones better.

Don't forget 2023 and 2024 too hehe
Arbitrum and Jito probably did the best airdrops so far, people with small amount of money or investment did a great amount of money with tokens and started to farm even more airdrops and created this frenesi that holds until now

Telegram airdrop required right now have to pay fees and buy the star feature if want get qualify of airdrop participants, but I won't waste my fees for qualifying an airdrop just giving benefit for developer only how billion participants if paid around 0.5 until 1 TON earned much profit from their participants.
Not bad ideas joining with free airdrop because many top telegram airdrop from DOGS and Notcoin not have require with criteria must spending fees or buy star feature. If you want get qualify but have to check will worth later after joining several months and purchasing fees but reward too small?

Of course regular airdrops without fees are better in this regard since we can join many without investing our funds, thus the risk is lesser here. Indeed, some airdrops including DOGS and Notcoin even allow us to get opportunities without purchasing extra features. But it is advisable that in the future we should be able to look for the benefits that come with paid airdrops that best suits us before joining any paid airdrop.
