I entered the crypto world after a friend told me about mining about a year ago, I started the first investments with the Blockchain.com airdrop and then with the Crypto.com one and then I started some faucet ... ve I talk about it because someone makes it convenient to have info to start without investing your own money and understand how it works
AirDrop - are "promotions" made by some companies to spread a coin or simply advertise their brand. They are rarely of high value and unfortunately many SCAMs exist
Faucet - they are simple games that allow you to earn a few thousandths of a coin, if you have the constancy to do them every day you can accumulate small sums useful to start
Tip - they are often used if you actively participate in a community, they exist both on Telegram, Twitter etc.
Mining - very unprofitable if not for large investments, it is difficult to find coins to be mined with simple home computers especially if you calculate the cost of electricity
My experience
I follow blogs and Telegram groups in search of valid AirDrops but I always distrust unknown ones instead of faucets thanks to which I accumulate coins which I convert to about 40,000 sat per week (100,000,000 SAT = 1 BTC), below the list of those who use:

all are uploaded to Coinpot.com through which you can also participate in various lotteries and challenges

Other Faucets can be obtained via APP always playing as much as possible, such as those below:
LTC https://bitcoinaliens.com/?ref=1050971&game=8&pf=2
BCH https://bitcoinaliens.com/?ref=1050971&game=7&pf=2

TIP, on the other hand, are those that accumulate if you actively participate in the communities, over time I have become attached to the BANANO community (https://banano.cc), a nice, new, serious and fun project present both on Telegram and on Discord
Telegram https://t.me/banano_official
Discord https://discordapp.com/channels/415935345075421194/416344480820494356
Of this coin I also do "Mining" (improper but exemplary term) ... the project is called BoomPOW (https://bpow.banano.cc), and it can be done with a simple PC (in my case an i5 without GPU ), you also had the F @ H version if you want to participate in medical research

If you want to start converting / buying / selling coins you need to have an account on an exchange, I use:
Coinbase - which also includes the EARN project through which coins can be earned
I put you some invitations that I still have available for 2 of these active earns
EOS 50 $ https://coinbase.com/earn/eos/invite/rkjn2gbq
XLM 50 $ https://coinbase.com/earn/xlm/invite/r4pcyz5t
Mercatox - which does not require KYC
https://mercatox.com/?referrer=608362
Unnamed - distributes tips in their chat
https://www.unnamed.exchange/
Kucoin
https://www.kucoin.com/?rcode=sewyRg
Obviously all that I have indicated and the links that I have inserted are only those from which I have regularly received the coins ... but I have also met many scam and wasted time but just be careful and never expect too much :-)
