I posted something similar to this a while ago, but will do it again in hopes that it may help....
I'm pretty much a newbie, I got into Bitcoins around May 2013. I wondered how I can get some. So I started visiting all the faucets getting around 500 micro Bitcoins a day. I did that for a while and figured there had to be better way. So I did some searching on the web for ways to make Bitcoins. I came across several sites where you can do small tasks and offers for bitcoin. Some of the offers involve downloading software to your pc, I would stay away from those, may have virus or something. In my 4 months of "working" I've found out that doing the Crowdflower Tasks are the best and easiest way to earn. Here are the sites with comments (I added my reference link in hopes of making a little more):
Tasks4dollars -
http://tasks4dollars.com/I think this is the best one out there. It gives you better pay for the tasks than the others. Stick to the Crowdflower tasks. They also run a monthly task contest.
Dollarrewardz -
http://dollarrewardz.com/members/register.phpRun by the same guy who runs T4D. Same pay for tasks as T4D but has different tasks. I think this site may be geared more towards Europe. Also has offers. The offers don't always convert, meaning you don't always get paid. And it's not the guy's fault that runs the site if you don't get paid. So do them at your own risk. Stick with the Crowdflower tasks, the others don't always convert (Super Rewards, Winter Wall, Supersonic Ads, etc). I wasted a lot of time doing offers and not getting paid. Again, it's not the Dollarrewardz site's fault, they only get paid when you do. Stick to Crowdflower, they always pay.
Bitcoinget.com and coinworker.com are two others, but they pay you less for doing the same tasks.
I hope this is helpful to the newbies.
Edit: I didn't know that it was frowned upon to use a referral link. Like I said, I'm a noob
MOD NOTE:
Referral part of link removed
