We really need to know *what* you're try to do, before we can advise you on how to do it...

Clutch in, foot on gas. Release the clutch as you give it some gas. Try not to let the rpm's go over 1500 while you are slipping the clutch. You should never rev it up to 3k and then let the clutch out... unless you are trying to teach someone who has never driven a manual car.

play around with the clutch and try to find the "engagement" pointe. This is where your clutch starts to grab and your car starts to move. Once you found this pointe you add gas slowly and you will start to move. practice this for awhile and you will get the hang of it.

The RPM at which you launch will vary from car to car, but the first method you said is the easiest and most effective.
