1.) Stay far far away from DigitalPoint and WarriorForum as well as any methods that can be found on there.
2.) Read all the stickies and threads in the treasure troves.
3.) Go on to CashTactics.net and read all of Rucks old posts (BTW, he is the owner of Convert2Media, a very popular and well respected network). In addition, read the newbie guide on Nickycakes.com. Some other blogs to read front to back are Adhustler.com, PPC.bz (yes serious), and the Convert2Media blog.
4.) Stop reading and get to work. Seriously! This was my biggest problem when I was first starting out. You'll always feel like you don't know enough to get started until you get started. It's just the way it is. The worst thing you could do is read too much...aside from taking advice from the likes of Tyler Cruz, Zac Johnson, et al. After you spend a few days reading the above material, just start working. Pick an offer and run it, whatever it is. You are going to learn so fucking much by just doing. There is only so much that can be taught through reading. Everyone here will agree, you just have to get to work. Everything will fall in place afterward. You'll realize how much you do know, and what you still have to learn. Then you can focus on reading just what you need to fill in the blanks.
It's amazingly easy to get started. Go get your $100 free Facebook ad credits from the Visa Business Network (google it). Research and pick an offer. Set up your tracking. Make your Ad Copy. Resubmit said ad copy 13 fucking times. Lose some money. Revise and resubmit. Lose some more money. Revise and resubmit. ?????. Profit. If you direct link, you won't have to spend a fucking dime and you make actually make some money. So fuck any "systems." The only system you need is this forum, and few awesome blogs, and hard fucking work. Many people pulling in a lot more than you think possible got started with less. So just work...work work work.
