Hello there! This is a question I have seen many times over and feel it's a question that should be asked with due diligence in mind.
We were all new to crypto once upon a time, and we are still the early adopters in the space for which I am grateful to be a part of with you guys !
Be comfortable with your initial risk, and research research and more research will only help you build confidence in your decision making.
We all make mistakes and we learn from them as I have.
Projects that I believe in will have
1.low circulating supply,
2.great project leaders.
3. Has use case and scalability.
4. Problem solving and a great community.
If I could invest more into the space I would invest in
ADA, xlm, omg, ltc, btc, xrp centralised(huge supply)

I'm very excited and bullish of the future of crypto.

Good luck 😊
