Like Keith said, you should start by making sure you are subscribed to the daily cash email found under the "Daily" category. Also do the "Paid to Click" every day, which is also under the "Daily" category.
You can watch the tutorial videos on the FC main page which will help you understand the Paid to Click as well as other areas of FC. I check the "Free/No CC Required" category frequently for easy offers to complete. You can also do the daily surveys once every 24 hours. Make sure that you clear your cache & cookies before every offer/survey you do, and when you've completed a survey and reached the "Congratulations" page, leave that tab/window open for at least 5 minutes or so until it credits. An easy way to see when your offers credit is to have the FC toolbar installed.
Also check in the "More Special Offers" category for other free offers, daily tasks, and videos. There may not always be videos available, but just keep checking. When there are, the video "tab" will show up.
Make sure you have read the Terms of Service and FAQ/Help sections, as these will answer a lot of your questions. Here in the forum you can click on "Are you getting paid to post yet?" and that will tell you all you need to know for submitting your bonus request each month. There's a tutorial video for this too....link is at the top of the forum underneath your profile picture. For contests & promotions, always check the first page for the rules/instructions.
Here are a couple of guides that were set up by other members that have some very good tips:
