For a newbie, there ware many people who suggest not to invest in ICO projects, had better you invest in altcoins that have been listed in several exchanges. Specify the capital you will spend and then choose some altcoins that have good projects like ETH EOS or ADA, you can divide your capital to buy all three altcoins, only a few suggestions do not invest in one place, that is another way to reduce the risk of loss will be faced.
In fact, for a newbie, it is imperative to actually end up doing due diligence on your own. At least, even as a newbie, if you get confused, just go to coinmarketcap website, take a look at some of the top projects, read about them, check out their availability of a product and what it means to you in terms of real life usage.
Check some other technical details as well as achievements and experience of the team and put all these together, to at least come up with something interesting for yourself to invest in. The choice should always be in your hands as an investor as well as you decision, and not in someone else's hands.
