alright folks,
i need advice on a little bit of everything. all i have is NAVcoin and i just dont know what else to do. i have very little money to work with, but im looking to "earn" whatever i make. im a little scrambled with what people say. also, on a side note, how do i rank up?

i've been a newbie for a month now. any and all comments are welcome...except negative ones...no one wants to hear that...
My recommendation for you is to keep browsing the forum and posting and looking for work. Once you become a member (60 activity) you can join some signature campaign (like mine) and earn decent BTC through posting. But other than that, enjoy the bitcoin ecosystem.

i've been getting the hang of writing in forums and stuff so thats good, but what do you mean look for work?
As soon as you become a member (it takes ~2 months) you can join a signature campaign and earn a little bitcoin for posting.
now, is it 30 activity to become a junior member? and are campaigns for junior members or mostly for members and up
AFAIK, there is only one or two campaigns for Jr.member. All of the others are closed. I would recommend you to wait a little longer and become a member. Joining a reputable campaign is much more reliable. In two months or less, you will be a member already.
Would it be that bad of an idea even if i only do it for a month till i become a member? With what little i do make, i feel that i can just put it back into the system and buy a little with it
It isn't bad, however if the signature campaign's operator decided to run, all your time and BTC will be gone. If you don't join one of those, you can surf the forums and look around and understand more about technical parts of bitcoin. When you are ready, you can join and contribute ideas better to the community.
