I've been at it for 4 months, and have built my bankroll to about $80.  I no longer play freerolls, except the CC freerolls and some from other discussion sites.  I think that freerolls against bad players do create bad habits.  I was able to resist it for a while, but now I am concentrating on playing disciplined, and freerolls really require a different strategy.
 
There are some other threads on this site that discuss the [I]Chip-up Early [/I]strategy, and I think thats the best way to get an initial bankroll to stake you to the microstakes ring-games and tourneys.
 
There are too many freerolls on too many different sites to limit yourself to one site.  I think PStars is the best place to get started, because once you win a few bucks, they have 10 cent 360 player tourneys running non-stop.  But, if you cash in a CC tourney, Bodog and UBet have some soft microstakes ring games, and FTilt has the double points happy hours to get into free tourneys with $500 in prizes for 200 points.  Just playing tight and just happy hours at Omaha Hi-Lo, I break even and earn about 100 points a week.  Hi-Lo gives more points because the point formula is based on the rake, and Hi-Lo gets bigger pots because of the split.
 
But bankroll management is the key.  After spending alot of hours building a small bankroll, you don't want to lose it in one night.  That's gambling, not poker.  I play a small stack strategy.  If I lose my nightly stake, I'm done.  If I triple my stack, I cash in and go to another table with my original stack size.
