I dont think you can get a full coin fast with the free method, i've been on the free method since last year and the most i could achieve was between 50 and 35 usd by solving captchas and using faucets.

To do this, very strong knowledge is needed. I think that a new person from scratch should start with another earnings. If freelancing then it is more suitable than collecting cranes or other things. More signatures are easy and without risk. But this is an extreme case.
