I see a few of them wandering in here, looking for real answers after they've been raped by these guys.
What do you think would be a resonable starting budget and time frame for any of these people who are just starting out?

If you come across a guru whore, or guru fucker here, report them to me immediately. I will ban their asses so quickly. I don't want that type of filth on the forum to poison our quality with their fucked up views and scammy shit. /disgust for the ebook community
The question is far too general. Instead of asking something like that, look at it in this perspective..
If you REALLY want to get into the business of making money online, you must, no seriously I really mean this.. you absolutely MUST realize that it takes TIME, EFFORT (this would be called hard work), and CASH. Sure, there are probably ways to make money without spending any, but I don't fuck with that sorta stuff because the less you are willing to spend, sometimes the tougher things are to be successful at.
I know it's tough, but you seriously CANNOT give in to these ebook guru assholes. They are selling something called HOPE. Not really selling anything absolutely unique or wonderful. They are selling you on the fact that you have the "potential" to make a shit ton of money. Well guess what, everytime you play the lottery you have the "potential" to win. Doesn't mean you're going to do it. Unlike with playing the lottery, you actually have control over how much you can "potentially" make online, because it all comes down to how much dedication you are willing to put into it, and how open to learning and asking questions you will be.
If you are just embarressed, and insist on lurking for months without asking a single question, you won't learn as much as you can. For the first few months, the best possible advice I can give to you or to anyone new in the field is to read forums, and articles. NOT ebooks or blogs. The only reason I wouldn't recommend reading all the blogs is because there is so much shitty information out there, or inaccurate stuff. I see most blogs as an "op-ed" kind of article, they are just opinions of the author, not actual facts that were fact checked, although there definitely are blogs out there that are amazing (mine isn't one of them because it's more of a ranting outlet for me with the occaisonal tip and advice).
Read the forums guys.. ask questions (but real ones), and however dumb you think the question is and you're afraid of being laughed at.. remember one thing.. THIS IS THE INTERNET. What the hell can someone possibly say to you to actually offend you. Also remember the following: IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL, JUST BUSINESS. Michael Corleone knows his shit. Don't take anything that anyone says to you or about you to heart. Forum/blog politics/drama is 90% talk and bullshit and 10% real. Lastly, our memory on forums, well, other forums, not this one, last as long as a Goldfish's. No one will remember you for asking a stupid, but honest question, unless of course it's so obvious and already answered here, then you're on your own.
