well if u cashed twice in freerolls ur not doing too bad
i mean to make the final 3 tables on a Full Tilt Poker freeroll out of 2700 is not that easy
read some of the strategy articles here at CC and u would learn some basic tactics that would help u with ur game

and next time u go to a book store pick up some good poker books like
Harrington On Holdem, Super Systems , anything be Sklansky

How many freerolls have you played because 2 cashes sounds pretty decent to me. But to elaborate on freerolls, I think they are a bit different than other tournaments, especially the 1st round donkfest. I would play pretty tight in the very beginning, and loosen up as the blinds go up. But yeah, in the later rounds, good tourney play will get you to the cash. Read some articles and some of the books that pantin suggested.

Good advice above. Freerolls are largely luckfests you either play patiently & hope you don't get donked when you get a premium hand or you start out loose & push with hands such as mid pairs. Freerolls are a good place to practice different styles of play, not to build bankroll. If you have any cash go to something like Bodogs beginner SNG's. Good luck.
