Hey you,
If you read that post you are already signed on Read.cash, so you should know lot of thing about how crypto works.
Perhaps, you may learn something of this guide which will try to provide you some useful things to gain free crypto-currencies instead of buying them in a first time.
I am listening to all things you might have added in the comment and i will update the post to add them.
Hope you will enjoy the reading and learn some.
1. Download a web Browser who reward you with Cryptocurrencies
The first thing you should do before investing your money in crypto-universe is to install a crypto-friendly browser.
1.1. Brave Browser
Brave Browser is a privacy browser which allow you to choose by seeing ad for money in BAT (from punctual ads you don't have to open; and from Sponsored image opened each 4 news tab) or no seeing them freely.
In my view it's one of the best web browser, also if you use it only for privacy and not for rewards. Quite quick and fluid.
It also integrate an Ethereum wallet ERC-20 which permit to withdraw your money from Publish0x.
Moreover, Brave could be installed both on Android and IOS phone, so you can earn reward on each device.
By enabling Brave rewards on two devices, regarding of my location (Europe ; there are more active campaign is US/UK), I earn about 30/40 BAT a month (about 6/8 USD).

1.2. CryptoTab
An other crypto-browser crypto-friendly.
The concept is to mine some BTC when you browse.
I don't recommand this kind of browser wich will damaged your computer faster than it deserve for few rewards...

2. Open differents Wallets regarding your crypto-use
A wallet is an account where you put your crypto-currencies, like a bank account. There are classic wallet where you can only put crypto on it (2.1.), and some advanced wallet who permit to use some Dapp (2.2.) and Exchange Wallets (2.3.).
2.1. Classic Wallets
2.1.1. Metamask

2.3. Exchanges
2.3.1. Centralized Exchange (CEX)
Coinbase
Coinbase is on of the biggest Exchange, good-looking interface, available on android and IOS with really cool related app (Earn, Pro, Wallet etc...). The one i mostly use for convert crypto
To sign on Coinbase : https://www.coinbase.com/

Binance
Binance is not really an exchange but it is integrated to Brave Browser, so it could be interesting to use for some, and it seem to be secure.

Coinhouse
Coinhouse is the biggest Exchange in France. Fees are really high and there are only 4 crypto-currencies available in the free version. Pro version is expensive but allow you to acces to more crypto-currencies.
I personnaly don't really use it but it could be interesting for tax consideration for french residents.

2.3.2. Decentralised Exchange (DEX)
Atomic Wallet
Atomic Wallet is a Decentralised Exchange. So you don't sell anything to an exchange but directly to an other user. Publish0x recommand to use it and you can earn free crypto by registering on it.
I think it's part of the future of crypto-world bu it seem to be really young and trading volume doesn't permit to buy and sell quickly crypto.

3. Use Crypto-tools and Dapp people created
If you have done the two precedent parts, you have now everything to start to use the crypto you have earned.
3.1. Earn crypto-currencies by learning about Crypto (Coinbase Earn)

3.2. Earn crypto-currencies by reading, writing and creating content
3.2.1. Publish0x
Earn Crypto by free tipping (7 a day, every ten minutes or 1 hour if it's the same author) in DAI, BAT, LRC. You also can earn money by writing and becoming an author.
To learn more about : https://www.publish0x.com/page/frequently-asked-questions?a=y5eVO7JBaE
3.2.2. Medium
Same than Publish0x but harder to earn money (you have to register to their Writer Program and pray for a member read and tip you)
To learn more about : https://medium.com/
3.2.3. Steemit
Same than Publish0x but with more asian content and users. Quite difficult to earn because it seem than nobody read anything on it in my opinion.

3.2.4. ReadCash

3.2.5. Brave Creators
Allow you to link your reddit, twitter, youtube and other account to be tipped in BAT by Brave Users. Ergonomic interface and epic user Growth.

3.3. Speak of Crypto-tools you use to your friend to earn by referral links
Most of well-known Crypto-tools have an ambassador program or an option to advertise on other users by referral links.
I will not list all of them but most of the things i have speak about have that kind of program.
By example, on Publish0x you can earn 5% (3% on Read.cash) of all and lifetime tip of user who sign on Publish0x by using your link (my referral link is https://www.publish0x.com?a=y5eVO7JBaE (the last part can be added to every Publish0x link)).

3.4. Use Dapp to stake, borrow, lend or trade Crypto-currencies (DeFi World)
One of the latest innovation of crypto-world is Defi for Decentralized Finance.
It permit users to do all financial operation without intervention of a third party like a bank.
You will be able to stake your crypto (let your crypto on a wallet and earn interest), borrow or lend them with interest, and trade with leverage by borrowing crypto instead of buying them (you can now trade on bearish position)
You must have an advanced wallet like Coinbase wallet. It allow you to use Dapp with a well-looking application.
That pratice is quite riskous so i will not explain all use you can do with DeFi, but i will mention two of them.
3.4.1. Compound finance
You can supply and borrow almost 10 crypto-currencies in a really great interface.

3.4.2. Dydx
It's almost the same than Compound but with better interest for the same crypto. But i prefer Compound because is better security and interface.

4. Don't waste you time on useless Faucets (Sadly most of them)
I definitely don't recommand them. Most of them are now scams and the only way people can earn several money is by the use of referral links.
You don't have to spend much time on this in my view.
Don't learn anymore on Faucets.
5. (Always) do you own researchs
If you already done every points on this post you are on good way to make some passive income by doing nothing more than before but with other tools. There are severals other way to use crypto, but this guide permit to show easy tools you can use for some Crypto you can convert into real money.
This post will be updated with future contribution of the community (I'm hoping at least).
A bunch of gif programs and a few I have not heard of that I'm going to have to check out
