I tried some in the past (when I was a newbie). I can tell you, none of them really pays. You'll just waste your time and hope for nothing. Some are free, most might ask you to invest and start earning higher than their free "mining".
Stay away from that. If you want to start real mining of btc, you need learn more about the coin and its blockchain. From that, there's still a lot to do.
