Hi, your questions are asked hundred times in this forum. Have a look at the newbie section, there waiting a lot answers for you ;)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0

And bitcoin wallets, there are so many. i recommend "bitcoin core". But only if you have the required hard disk space and not the slowest internet connection.
See here, there are the most popular wallets: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
if you want a simple online solution as your wallet, you can try: https://blockchain.info/

There is a wide selection of wallets -> https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
Its impossible to suggest a single client to everyone. It depends on your preference.

These -> https://bitcoin.org/en/you-need-to-know
https://bitcoin.org/en/secure-your-wallet
articles should also get you started on the basics. If you have a specific question you can always ask here or use the search function. Chances are high someone already had the question.

Keep in mind that bitcoin core also requires you to create regular backups to avoid losing coins. Roughly every 30-50 transactions send would be good, due to the limited keypool.

For free: Faucets, Signature campaigns, lucky games (gambling - there are free to play games in the gambling section).
Investment: Buy them, don't bother with mining.

Faucets: You can search the forums for "faucet" or "faucet rotator". A quick search bring this up: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1053895.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1053895.0)
Sig. Campaigns can be found in the Services forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0)
Lucky Games are in the gambling section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=56.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=56.0) and Games and Rounds:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=71.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=71.0)
For investment, you will have to find the exchange/service that you prefer and buy some Bitcoins. Circle.com (http://Circle.com) seems to be gaining publicity and you can buy with your VISA.

This really belongs in the beginners & Help section over here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0
Do your homework, most of these cloud mining operations are run on a Ponzi type model, so the last people invested, will lose their money. The golden rule : Bitcoin is not a Get Rich Quick Scheme.

I agree with you, it belongs in the beginners section.
However, nobody mentioned any cloud mining operations...
Why did you mention it?

RoughLyfe mentioned it here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1058352.msg11352799#msg11352799). And I gotta agree, cloud mining is no longer profitable. The only cloud mining which is trusted by many is CEX.IO which currently stop operation due to low Bitcoin price.

Sorry, I didn't see that.

Cloud mining was never profitable.
They are all (that I know of) ponzi schemes.
If it was profitable - for the buyer - then the seller wouldn't sell it, they would keep the profit for themselves.
