faucets for newbies and signature campaigns for anyone more used to BTC.
Faucets really are not that helpful. You make cents per hour. You would be better off buying 5 dollars of BTC from a exchange and use that faucet time to learn something. Its just insane how many people waste time then later figure out it's dust in a wallet for the most part.
The signature campaigns are really good down the line. Wait till full member and they go up quite a bit in payment. But they are best way if used right (IE you don't spam).
Cents per hour? That's a lot more than what I made when I used faucets to earn Bitcoins years ago. Honestly, unless you've got nothing to do and don't want to do much, then use faucets. They're pretty much useless.
That is on the high side. There will be some that say but X faucet say's a huge jackpot! Hardly anyone wins a big jackpot on faucets.
The sad thing is if you do the math you are losing money on electricity to do faucets. Even if you used a RPi and monitor... still losing money. It just makes no sense but some will always do faucets. I cannot explain it.
Some people are generally in the same boat as I am in.. My GPU is obsolete and with the recent difficulty number that I saw while I tried Doge, LTC and
BTC mining, my hashrate timed in at the approximate hashrate to be making roughly 5-7 satoshis a month.. With even low-paying faucets I would be making more than my computer could mine.. But yes, it takes more money from the electricity needed to run my computer the few hours it takes me to run my faucet rotations to only be making roughly 200-300 bits in that time, but still significantly more than I could make mining.. Of course, while I have made more than what is currently in my wallet, I currently have about ~.013
BTC in my collective wallet, of which each address was empty at the beginning of October. So yeah, not a lot..
then you can simply not lose much 
And you can simply buy a lot of each :=)
