I remember when I started here a few months ago.
I spent most of my time on freebitco.in, and just fauceted away maybe like $0.22 in one week. Afterwards I found this forum and started looking around, learning more about bitcoin and how it works. When I discovered the marketplace, I happened to come across a post looking for social media sharers and I earned maybe $5 doing just that for the week.
At the end of that week, I decided I'm going to offer my own services to the forum. I gave away a vouch copy for my writing to a higher ranked forum member and quickly afterwards I received my first project. I'm still happily engaged in that work relationship and slowly but surely increasing my client group. What this means is that I'm a serious person and I want to bring value to the table for my clients, and because of this (and my ability to produce high quality content) I get paid on a regular basis.
If you're just starting out, faucets are a great way to earn some free bitcoins and you can use my referral link if you want:

Eventually you will find yourself developing an interest towards a particular subject, topic or skill. This is when you're in the right mind-set to start LEARNING!
