That's true, but I think they should buy some senior member accounts at good rate and then join signature campaign that would help them to earn more and faucets doesn't sounds great as it doesn't pay in higher amount, so for a newbie signature campaigns are the best option if they have senior member or hero member accounts than they can earn good bitcoins out of it.
Yeah, but buying a higher rank accounts directly isnt a good idea for newbies imo. They need to learn all thing about bitcointalk, even about what sign camp is, as a newbie. So they could buy higher rank account when they are atleast junior member, which they have known what a sign campaign is and all rules on this forum.
