That's a good approach, because if you really take the time to learn everything step by step, it will be worth in the end.
Faucets are definitely not a very good way for getting rich , but thanks to them you can learn about wallets and transactions and then you may move to something more difficult - altcoins, trading etc. and during the proces of learning, you may join some signature campaign and get some extra coins.
Its always good to start a journey step by step instead of jumping directly into it without any sound knowledge so once you start learning from basics then it will help you in long run and it will also give you a better understanding about the working and technicalities of bitcoins and at this stage even faucets are good to claim free bitcoins as price is increasing.
theere are 2 only way here in the internet thay you can only earn money:
1. Bitcoins
2. Making blog or business website like affiliate marketing.
the other method is useless like PTC , HYIPs , Spreading referrals.
