2. Earn free Bitcoins by completing tasks on websites ✔

1 - BitVisitor :: Earn Bitcoins for watching websites or videos. Every page is shown for five minutes. Then you can click 'Next' for confirmation and move on to the next page. What I like about this site is that payouts come within roughly an hour. This is a major advantage compared to other sites that pay Bitcoins for completing tasks. Also, you don't need an user account here, you just enter your Bitcoin address. The amount of Bitcoins you can earn here is limited though. Per five minutes you get something like µBTC 100 (that's 100 microcoins or BTC 0.00001) which means that your hourly payout is something like BTC 0.00012. That's not too much money but it is a start to make you first Satoshis and get familiar with Bitcoin. And note, payout per five minute period varies. So the above calculation only holds if the average payout per five minutes is µBTC 100.

2 - freedigitalmoney.com :: Earn Bitcoins by getting rewards fo purchases made in Bitcoin. On this site you also don't need a user account and just have to enter your Bitcoin address to earn Bitcoins.
CoinWorker :: Earn Bitcoins by completing analytical tasks. A user account is required here. I haven't tried this service but payouts seem to be a bit higher than with the aforementioned sites.

3 - BitcoinPlus :: Earn Bitcoins for providing computing power to a mining pool. The good thing about this site is that you do not actually have to spend time on it because your computer works in the background while you can do other things. However, when you check the task manager of your computer you see that CPU usage skyrockets. That means your machine consumes more electricity. And since the payouts per hour on
BitcoinPlus are really small, you need to do a proper calculation that takes the power consumption of your hardware, your electricity costs and the current Bitcoin value into account. If this turns out profitable for you, BitcoinPlus is a fine thing.

4 - Rugatu :: Earn Bitcoins by answering forum questions. This is a nice service because it brings people together who are interested in Bitcoin and many other things and allows to pay rewards for answering questions. This is something that would not have been possible without a currency like Bitcoin that has low transaction fees and instant transfers

5 - FaucetBTC :: Earn Bitcoins just by visiting this site (and looking at the ads). There is a large number of other sites like this and I picked this particular one quite randomly. All you do here is go to that site, enter your Bitcoin address and fill out the CAPTCHA. You can repeat this as often as you like but only once every 30 minutes. For each visit you get BTC 0.0000025 (as of August 2013; this is likely to change when the Bitcoin exchange rate goes up). After your visit, your reward is sent to CoinBox.me. This happens to collect many small payments and to combine them for one bigger payout. When you visit many sites in parallel, this could be a way to keep you busy throughout the day and make some change.

Earning Bitcoins from completing tasks on websites is a viable option to actually earn some Bitcoins, but don't expect your income to be very large. I regard it as a first step to get familiar with Bitcoin in general. Also, it is interesting to see what kind of services are enabled through frictionless money transfers.
