You know that you received bitcoin when you can see that a TX is confirmed on the block chain

Start here: https://bitcoin.org/en/getting-started

You don't need to buy your bitcoins, you can earn them.

[Fiora]

I always get mine from selling stuff. outside from the obvious of buying it at localbitcoins.com.

[SRG]

I like paid to click sites such as bitcoinget.  They used to pay a lot more, but you can still get a little starter stake for watching videos and such.

Good Luck!

you can exchange fiat currency for bitcoins using exchanges. transactions confirmations can be checked on blockchain.info. 6 confirmations are required by most to verify any transactions. I suggest you read how to create secure wallet etc before buying, earning or exchanging bitcoins.

I recommend:
1. installing and running full scan by internet security software such as bit defender or kaspersky
2. creating encrypted wallet and then storing it offline and not on internet connected pc
3. creating offline paper wallet which should be encrypted as well
4. reading about "stolen bitcoins" to avoid same scams etc

Very well said.

OP, you can earn bitcoin pretty much like you earn USD.
You can get a job, you can sell your products and your services, you can offer some kind of shows and performances, you can beg (please don't do it here!), you can scam (please don't do it ever!!), etc.
