<p>I have tried mining but found out that the electricity used by your pc cost you more then the bitcoins you can get this way,so it is not  worth it unless you invest in some very specific hardware and have the patience and time to see your bath tub get filled a drop at the time</p>

please don't do bitcoin mining at home pc because the profit obtained will be less than what you have spent for the power bill.

<p>This issue came up during a chat on <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/4910/323">this answer</a> to a question asked by a new Bitcoin user.</p>

<p>Lets say I am new to Bitcoin and don't want to go through the hassle of exchanging money for coins quite yet. I don't have much of marketable skills, so I can't offer my services. How then can I earn some Bitcoins with minimal skill requirements, without any long-term commitment or investment of any type?</p>

The Bitcoin community is relatively tiny yet. While there are some tasks here and there where bitcoins can be earned (e.g., logo creation, tutor), there is a far larger number of individuals willing to compete for the work.

Offering to sell bitcoins to others is one way to earn a little. There are many people who sell coins through LocalBitcoins and earn a few percent on each trade.

But other than that, if your aim is to acquire some coins the likely more productive avenue would be to find income elsewhere and use that cash to buy bitcoins.
