There are actually two types of Gaining profit on cryptocurrency which is either investing or trading. As a total newbie I will advise you to go into investing, all what you need in investing is the appropriate wallet and the coin. For a newbie that cannot do proper research I will advise you stick to bitcoin only and the wallet suggestions are all over this forum. You can gain that knowledge here without actually needing a personal guide again.

For trading I will advise against most especially if you do not have knowledge about it. Trading is way risky such that even someone who has knowledge losses on it. So given someone your money to trade for you might be even way riskier as the person wouldn’t even apply a proper risk management since it’s not their funds.

If you insist in trading I will advice you seek the knowledge your self as that is way better than trusting your funds with another person
