Hey Ed, welcome 
It's great to have you join us, Welcome to AffiliateFix @edmoney !
You are a FIX'er now and that means you have the world at your feet with IM. Here are a few suggestions:
Learn through extensive reading in this community. Select one vertical. one tracker, and one traffic source. Learn from your fellow members here to master each one of them (a couple of months). Then you can expand and replicate your successes.
As a Newbie, you need to read, study, invest, and implement. Perseverance, dedication, and taking action are the cornerstones of the success you will obtain.
Read
Read through the various areas of the forum to learn about the types of marketing available for your new business. Make a list of all the types of marketing and take some notes along the way. Then determine which area of marketing with which you will start your journey.
Do this to select an area of marketing to start, as well, do this to select a tracker, a traffic source, and to select a vertical.
Then read up on the affiliate networks and select two to begin with that will serve your needs and the types of offers you would like to promote. Put your application in and they will call you for an interview. Be professional and be prepared to answer some questions about how you will promote offers, do you have a website, are you a Newbie, etc. Please note, if you join the Dojo, we have a thread there that can offer assistance in getting accepted to some of the networks.
Study
Now that you have selected a basis to begin, read all of the threads in this forum that relate to your initial selections so that you have a rudimentary understanding of their features and benefits.
Invest
You will require some investment. A VPS server, domains, traffic, landing pages, etc. You will need a budget for daily, weekly, and monthly expenses. This will change over time and you will need to update it often so that you know exactly what your costs and earnings are.
Implement
This is where it all starts to earn. You must now begin to implement what you have established as your foundation for your business.
Here is some advice and guidance that will help you establish your initial goals:
Make sure you complete the following first.
Every business needs:
1. a plan
2. a schedule for research, learning, and execution
3. a budget.
Remember to read through our WIKI and get to know the basics as well as some of the buzz words in the industry.
I also recommend reading the following thread:
As a Newbie, What Stops You From Getting Started
Here is a set of immediate goals:
1. Get a VPS
2. Select a vertical
3. Select a tracker
4. Select a couple of networks and get your approval
5. Select a traffic source
6. Create a schedule for researching, learning (training), and working. This is a business, treat it as such!
7. Create a budget for every expense (daily, weekly, monthly)
8. Be very active in this forum by researching, asking questions, helping others when you are able.
As well, I highly recommend you join the DOJO as it is full of great tools and contributions for successful marketers. Click the banner below to learn more.
Remember This! : Nothing has to be perfect before you start. Read & study, but invest and implement at the same time. You cannot learn all of it from reading and studying. A great deal of your learning comes from implementing!
Good Luck!

Thanks Alex, I didn't see that Adsbridge had a free account. In that case I'll definitely give it a go.
At the moment I am trying to focus on where money is spent rather than sign up to loads of things before I even have a plan in place. After the various bits of feedback and learning curves that I am beginning to take in from this forum, I am sticking to one strategy whilst I build my knowledge base up. The strategy being, just build a site with good content - SEO focus, with the odd unobtrusive link here and there. Once I have people coming to the site I can look to how to monetize it and also grow the site/campaigns.
I was going to go down the route of purely google analytics and tag any link with vars in there, but would be good to start with Adsbridge and build up so that when (emphasis on "when" - new year, new positive attitude an' all ;-) ) it takes off and it needs scaling the infrastructure is there.
Thanks again.

Moreover, we provide you full support while you are using AdsBridge, so it won't take you much time to set up your campaigns, as we have FAQs and user tips on our blog, as well as email support support@adsbridge.com.
