Limited option b-roll building?

So through a website I got a 1000 promo bucks (10 dollars) no deposit bonus on a certain poker website. I can only play Freerolls that DO pay out cash prizes or the tourneys that are r/a's with a GTD prize pool of usually 100x the buyin so like 50 cents is 50 dollar GTD , but the catch is with these promo dollar buyins at these R/A tourneys is that you can't r/a except in one 20cent one which has a free addon.

Other options are to play these satellite step sngs(usually single table) that only pay out in more promo dollars...

My current balance is 838 in promo bucks. What's my best bet to build a bankroll of cash and or promo dollars? I'm okay with building a massive promo dollar bankroll, but I wanna get a cash bankroll going so I can grind the cash tables.

What should I do as a strategy to build my bankroll(s)? If any more info is needed I will provide. Depositing is not an option as I don't have the money and am very poor(I literally have 0 to my name.) I am in the USA.

I do not want to give up on my dream of playing the game of poker. I will not have money for even a minimal deposit for weeks if not months. So how can I build a bankroll with my promo dollars and such limitations?

I take it you're living at home at ma and pa's, you're still in school, and so on. When I was in school, I did enterprising things to raise funds for stuff I wanted to do or buy. I never took a normal part-time job but I ended up soldering together little circuit boards and selling them for minimal profit as an example. It was a fun hobby and gave me a bit of income on the side. Or you could sell some old stuff you never use any more on ebay, or to your friends. Literally loads of way to raise another 30 bucks or so to start playing 2nl.

Nope I live in an apt. I don't have anything I can sell or afford to save for poker at the moment. I have debt to roommate, rent, utilities, cellphone, car payment. I'm behind on all except rent... If I was even able to scrap together 30 bucks, I'd be forced to put it towards one of those items. Depositing is just not an option for the foreseeable future. I could work with 5 bucks if I was able to just scrape that together through my promo dollars. I can play the lowest of the low 2nl with the .40c buyins or whatever and grind it out, but how do I get the 5 dollars first?

Sounds like you should be doing other stuff with your time, like trying to find a different job so you can afford to live rather than trying to grind pennies out playing poker.

+1. Grinding nanostakes poker seems to be one of the worst uses of your time in your current life situation.

It's more for my freetime...

You shouldn't have free time in your situation. You need to find more income and get out of debt. You're a fucking child at an age where you need to grow up. Poker is dead for the time being. Get some cashflow. Fuck, one hour raking someones leaves or cleaning their rain gutters would make you more money than 10 hours of grinding those stakes.
