Depends on the site, normally the easy way is ring games but this depends on the points you get from rake, if you have to play over your limit to earn points then i would say do some sit and go`s, if you get points per hand delt then play at a limit you want when it gets closer to the day you then jump to a high table and earn points fast to keep your BR, anouther copy and paste dishad well done, at least this time you posted it at anouther thread.

freerolls is the way to go. but in freerolls somehow you must take bigger risks than in regular buy-in tourneys. alot of ppl dosent really care if they win or not so they just push all in all the time. And belive me, they get lucky! damn lucky!

freerolls on the weekend small cashgames on weekdays works pretty fine here to build up. tight bankrollmanagement is the key in my oppinion. try out a bit what games suit you best. can be SnG, cash game or maybe you have a big time MTT winner in you? also think out of the box of NLHoldem. myself won most of my cash at micro omaha H/L and HORSE tables. but again: not e1 will succeeed at limit tables. just become a good poker player by getting to know yourself and use disciplined banrollmanagement not to go broke before you are there.
PS: dont play drunk and use tight bankrollmanagement (really. the bankrollmanagement point is soooooooo important if yask me. )
PS2: and always look for good promotions. like bonus point happy hours and a no deposit bonus, better freerolls etc etc
PS3: did i mention bankrollmanagement already? *ducks*

At the beginning forget about points and rake and stuff. Find yourself a site where you like to play and then you can go to the next step.
Go read Chris Ferguson`s $0-$10000 quest blog and try to follow his rules because they are good rules. When you have the money to play at the tables you will have to make a choice do you prefer more ring games, SnG`s or MTT`s. If you lack skill in some but you would like to play that type of game do some learning before you start playing with the real money. There are lots of books and videos around for free that will get you on the right track. And ALWAYS try something new on playmoney tables first because one thing is to know that tool exists and totally different thing is knowing how and when to use it. Oh yes and if you`re new to poker DO NOT play at multiple tables at once. Most likely this will hit you back some time in the future when you move up in the limits. You will miss opportunity to learn how to make reads on opponents and to hone your other secondary skills needed to make it a successful venture in the end. I think this is it in basic when you`re done with one poker site go to the next one. If you pick some site which is scarce in freerolls then you can play at two sites but don`t overdo it.
Why only one or two site`s when i can play 90 freerolls a day on many sites? This way you will have some time off and learn to rest yourself between tournaments so you will always play maximum possible game at the given time. Many people play too many freerolls per day, was there myself, but you can do it for some time before you start playing like robot. Playing only monsters or betting same amounts but in most cases main symptom is that you don`t pay attention at other players too much. You will play your cards only and that kind of play will get you nowhere. You would be able to stay alive for awhile, not talking about tournaments only, but in the end your destination will be bankruptcy when Lady Luck turns her back on you. Take your time to learn the game and once you make yourself at least average player start thinking about playing more tables and more tournaments because by that time you will make those reading, betting and other secondary skills part of your game without spending too much time to think about it.
Frerolls Freerolls and more freerolls.... I suggest you to try Carbon Poker bacause there are few players and prizes are decent.
I don`t know what you find decent in 10 places paid $50 freeroll when there are 1000 players or even more in tournament. But it is better than $5 Giveaway.
I wish i had time for that 
You won alot playing do many freerolls ?? maybe I should give it a try during my holiday
