There is nothing like easy cash or easy money in this world but I can say faucets are just the waste,a newbie can start using faucet just to earn first satoshi and learn a bit about bitcoins but then leave it,you can try trading in altcoins to generate some profit but ready to loose as well.
Exactly, people who are new to bitcoin always think that earning it is not hard and easier than other currency that is the reason why they fall for scams promising big returns, and later on they realize there is no such way as quick money.
