Everyone has to start somewhere.
Faucets in my opinion are a waste of time and effort, you do get small amounts but compared to the amount you may of earned a couple of years ago. Saying that tho small amounts you get now could increase in years to come.

It could be a good idea to maybe look into buying btc from the likes of coinbase and signing up to bittrex cryptopia or other exchanges.

Really it all depends on how much you are willing to invest it's not like you have to buy a full btc. Have you thought of mining and trading what you mine?
