Agree, beside sig campaign, mintpal votes giveaway is nice too. I was getting about 50k satoshi/vote for voting SC on mintpal.
Although right now the available giveaway is not as good as SC was, but is still worth to do
You can check those giveaway here

How do you earn from voting? can you briefly describe

Let me try to answer it.

So every coin want to get on an exchange, and some exchange are using vote system to choose the coin. This is it.

Coin developer are paying people to votes their coin on a specific exchange, usually mintal.
For example, HYPERcoin dev are opening this campaign, they are paying 7 Hypercoin per 1 votes on mintpal here http://coinzen.org/index.php/topic,913.new.html
We simply just votes hypercoin on mintpal, after that post the votes number and our hypercoin address on thread above.

How about regular random giveaways?

for now ALT giveaway is the best way to earn BTC because if only use faucet for earn BTC it just wasting your time
last time i do some alt coin for vote it worth 500-3000 satoshi/vote/hour

Well that is worth if you know that coin price will raise and you sell it on right time. Generally are not worth your time.

Any idea how long it would take for me to earn 0.01 btc a day?

Not worth our time? Really? It takes no more than 10 seconds lol.
Even without price rise, some coins are offering more than 10k sats per votes.
For me, it is really worth my time

I earned the most of my bitcoins at Coinworker.

You have to put some time in it, but after some time, it can really become a good source for getting free bitcoins.

really simplest is to buy on some exchanges (my sig example), you can pass on one pizza and buy 0.01 BTC!

[Malok]

I'm a newbie.      I've been trying to search/find some of the free giveaways that are occasionally done for new coins.  For bitcoins, been doing faucets as I don't have enough activity yet to do the signatures.

You can't really consider buying bitcoin as a way to earn bitcoin, can you?

As a newbie, you can join the 777coin signature program. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=654009.0

The rates that they pay make it so it is almost not even worth it.

Once you achieve member status, a sig campaign is a must.

It's actually pretty easy to make a decent amount of coins.

Build your own website (blog) (you do not need skill for this, just look up how to build your own Wordpress website on Youtube)
Write about services that will give you Bitcoin for referring users.

Make sure your article adds value for the reader and some people will use your affiliate link which will make you money (bitcoins in this case)
You will need a lot of articles on your blog to get a decent amount of visitors, that requires some time.
Works the same as for fiat.

For the record, I am not talking about making a spammy website filled with nothing but affiliate links, also try to write some blog posts without any affiliate links.
And I guarantee you that except for basic writing skills, you do not need to have a technical background to get a blog up and running.
There are enough step by step tutorials out there!

Unfortunately while this is a good idea I am terrible at creating content for blogs, so I don't know exactly what I would write about. I've tried this a few times with google adsense and finding a niche and SEO and what not and it didn't work out that well for me. I guess I'm just not a born writer. Not to mention right now I don't have the time to really do any of the work in research and writing.

Yeah that's indeed the most difficult part, getting inspiration for good articles.
I usually write down every idea I come up with throughout the day and collect them all in a Google doc, then I start turning those ideas into articles.

But you seem to write pretty good, so maybe some freelance work is an option?
Keep an eye on the services section of the forum, though this has probably been mentioned already.

[skottiejay]

Well thanks for that compliment. I was thinking about it, I've had offers in the past to write for various blogs (comic, etc) and I turned them down because I didn't think I was good enough to write for them, but money is very tight and short so I don't really have any other options and it's about time for me to start thinking outside the box and come up with some ideas on how to make a disposable income until I get disability figured out. (long story)

Why? It is still better than faucets, isn't it?

That's something I have also struggled with, thinking I was not good enough to write for established websites and blogs.
But the only way to get any better is by getting more experience.

And I would really suggest you give blogging another go, alongside with any freelance work.
It's really a good way to earn some passive income.

I have also done some work through Fiverr and made some good money with that for quite a while, but the competition ordered some gigs from me and gave me a few bad ratings.
Fiverr wouldn't take those ratings down, even though I had proof.
I just abandoned that account after that happened.

It might be an option for you though, but do not become too attached to that account.

If you have IT-related skills consider posting something on a site like either coinality or similar.

Signature campaigns are a good way to earn a few satoshi's while getting to know the threads.

Auction threads if you have anything of value your wanting to sell for bitcoin.  All kinds of ways for you to earn some coins.

[ranochigo]

If you know how to code stuff or provide any type of services, you can post at the service section and see if people would hire your service, otherwise, if you know a lot about bitcoin and can post a lot of constructive stuff, join a signature campaign in a few weeks.
