Well as a newbie I was almost given up in the search on how to get a bitcoin, initially when I started I was really disappointed by the small amount of satoshis I was getting from faucets but with determination I was able to get this site which enlighten me more on how to get Bitcoins.
I think not easily discouraged is the key.. a few years ago I also found it difficult to get a lot of bitcoin but I continued to work hard and learn so that at least I could get some mbtc per day
