About a week ago, I began using Presearch's beta software. You can earn free crypto tokens (PRE) just by making your online searches through Presearch instead of your current search engine. In fact, you can even use your favorite search engine, you just have to access it through Presearch.org.
You can earn a maximum of 8 PRE tokens each day, and at the moment, you get .25 PRE for every search you make. So far, I've earned 51.5 PRE, which are currently valued at about $0.32 each.
Here's a screenshot of my account:
You can edit your default search engines to whichever ones you want.
Mine are currently: Duck Duck Go, Google, Amazon, Wikipedia, Presearch, Pexels, Youtube, and Yahoo Finance.
What's great about this is you can earn crypto for doing almost anything online!
- Want to search for something to buy on Amazon? Get .25 PRE!
- Want to search for free images for your Steemit blog on Pexels? Get .25 PRE!
- Want to look something up on Google? Get .25 PRE!
The tokens really start to add up when you use Presearch as your home base for whatever you want to look up.
I use it every time I'm writing a Steemit post to find free images on Pexels. I might make a dozen Pexels.com searches for a single post, and I receive .25 PRE for every single one of them, as long as the search originates from Presearch.
Search for photos of "happy"
Return to Presearch, and search for photos of "yellow"
Just like that, I earned .5 more PRE Tokens!
Go get yourself some free crypto while getting awesome pictures totally free. All pictures from Pexels are free to use for both personal and commercial use. No attribution is required.
Fascinating. No wonder you like searching for images. :) I'll have to check it out.
I've been using Pexels for a long time, but Presearch just made it a little bit better. Who can say no to free crypto!?
Thank you, @shenanigator for telling us about this. I have registered and I am waiting for the approval now.
I have a question if I may : where does the PRE coin derive its value from ? Why is it valuable?
Like other cryptos, the price is ultimately going to be determined by investors and traders. But why invest? One might argue that it's worth the investment because advertisers are going to be buying PRE tokens to advertise on presearch.org, which will create real-world demand for them.
Well, Search engine ads is a huge market. That is a good idea if they are able to pull it out.
Thank you for explaining it.
BTW, my account has been activated and I like the service.
I'll give this a go bro!
Works on mobile too also?
I use presearch on mobile all the time. In fact, I even put a shortcut to it on my iPhone home screen.
I will be doing the same once I get approved! Thanks for the post bro!
Awesome! The last friend I referred got approved for the beta testing the following day.
Sweet! Thanks for that. I was gonna ask how long it took :) is pre a ico or isnitnlisted on coin marketcap
It's not pre-ico, they're in the distribution phase right now. They are listed on coinmarketcap.
Sweet I will be keeping my eye on it then and add it to my coin folio
Just signed up but for some reason I haven’t received any email from Presearch yet. I’ll wait until tomorrow I guess.
@shenanigator bro this is really supercool....... Are my eyes deceiving me because i have read this post thrice. Will give it a try instantly.
Haha, I'm glad to hear that you're trying it out!
Wow have not heard of this I will have to look into it for images... thanks for sharing here
This could be defined as one of those "killer apps" for crypto and signed up more out of curiosity, then anything. Thank you for posting and bringing it to our attention (Up voted). The only issue is, why the wait time to get "accepted" by the program (should be automated) and why doesn't the company understand the benefit of a referral link?
The link I put in this post is technically a referral link, but I don't get any benefit out of it because they aren't offering any incentives for referrals at the moment. I did, however, have a chat with a support rep a few days ago who said they might add some referral program within the next few weeks.
Maybe their servers can only handle so much traffic at the moment, so they need to monitor how many people are trying their beta software? Or maybe they want to make sure it's not bots signing up just to make fake searches and get free tokens? I'm not sure. The last friend I referred got approved the next day.
You bloody deserve a huge referral commission from this one, I can imagine this being used by a lot of Steemians, including myself!

I think you presented a helpful unique post here, upvoted good work!
Thanks for the vote!
Are these tokens on any exchange?
Yes, a few. The exchange they do the most volume on is HitBTC, although it's not much volume yet. They're still in the distribution phase and have a lot of development left to do.
Pretty cool, so I assume the account is free to sign up and they give you the coins as a reward for using their search engine?
Attention is worth a lot. Facebook is worth billions and they keep all the profits for our attention and information. It’s about time we get some of those profits. Facebook is nothing without its users.
Thanks for sharing, going to go check this out.
You make a good point we are dumb enough to give facebook the attention and power without demanding any reward in return
I have a feeling that's going to change with blockchain tech. I think Steem's SMTs will help expedite the process of people demanding something for their time and attention.
You have nailed it right there. Thanks @shenanigator for the thoughtful reply.
That pretty much sums it up.
Great post. Thanks for sharing about how to incorporate crypto into everyday activities. Nice seeing you post again.
Thanks for being a loyal reader. Most of my posts these days are going to be coming from our @tangerinetravels account while we travel throughout Mexico. While we prepared for our travels, I didn't have a whole lot of time to dedicate to Steemit.
This is good staff about presearch. Thanks @shenanigator for sharing...Let me start using it right away.
Yeah, you might as well. One doesn't need to change their habits much to get free crypto out of it.
I've been rocking presearch for over a week now and I'm up to 32ish tokens for doing nothing! I really should check out some of the other features you mentioned.
Isn't it great? I'm not really changing any of my browsing habits and am earning some crypto for doing what I was already doing.
Adsactly Bravo, Bravo!! Your post are really Mewtacular!. It inspires me to be a better me. I am learning so
much not only from the information on your post, but also about presentation and design. Thank you!
Cool one man, I'll check it out. Good to see you posting on Steem again.
Thanks! Most of my posts these days are going to be coming from our @tangerinetravels account while we travel throughout Mexico. While we prepared for our travels, I didn't have a whole lot of time to dedicate to Steemit.
Did you ever payout? Do you know anyone who payout PRE is this way?
I don't think it's possible to cash out your PRE earnings yet, but there's still development left to do. They aren't even running on their own blockchain yet. I imagine cashing out won't be possible until they have their own blockchain.
Do you have any info when that will happen? I see they have youtube channel, it is explained there probably.
No, I haven't looked much into it. I've only spent about 30 minutes researching it. I'd be spending a lot more time researching if I was considering buying some, but I'm just earning free tokens, so I feel like I don't need to know everything that's happening.
I am on it thanks
Bloody awesome! I've missed the payout on this, tip coming your way!!
Gonna check it out now, I've been using Unsplash, but this is just awesome :-)))
