i am start with free methods too like you in 2015, i am playing faucets in that time, almost all crypto currency and i save it into market exchange but now, if you want to start with faucets, i think you need long time before you can collect one bitcoin and its not recommended. but if you start with altcoin faucets then i think you have a chance to collected it into your wallet. the most important that you can do for free is you don't stop for what you doing until you think that you are reach one level and then you can stop for doing for free.
