Well that's simple my friend, there are lots of way but I'll list what newbies should do.
1. BUY ALLKILL why farm like a peasant when you can just buy your way to aesthetic royalty
Other than that you can:
2. Join events like the hunger games. You don't even have to sign you can just be guest watching in and still comment.
3. Go to places like answering anons you get 3 akorns per thread posted.
4. Don't blatantly farm actually add some discussion.
5. The lounge is great if you feel you can't add much to the kpop forum. Its all casual you're sure to find something to talk about.
6. Did I mentioned to BUY ALL KILL? 
Since you mention badges if its a LE check the badges section and sign up for the badge you want. Once you get over 10 sign ups for the main badge and 5 for individual the price starts to go down.
