Brand new and in need of advice.

Hey all,

I am new to CPA and could use your help. (I can just hear the record scratch as everyone looks up from the pool tables.)

I've been exploring this part of the forum for a few days. I'm... overwhelmed. Lots to learn and figure out.

That being said, you can't start if you don't start. So based on a few recommendations from threads here I've applied to peerfly.com and neverblue.com.

I'm a day or two out and awaiting confirmation or rejection (ah... just like back in high school only this time I hope it works out better.) In the meantime, what do you think?

I am new to CPA but not new to marketing. I write copy (my own - and I've been told it doesn't "extremely" suck...kidding. Some big folks say it's not bad) and have created some products in different niches and so on.

Am I (first) going to have a shot at "getting in" and (second) is there room for me?

It seems super saturated, but it feels like something I'd like to do and could do well. That being said I don't plan on PPC in the beginning. I plan on a variety of other means (as I'm slowly reading and learning about.)

So... room for more?

Can a guy like me still get in, even without experience?

Can I still do well?

Are there one or two resources you'd suggest that most people say, "oh yea, I'd definitely check that site out. It's one of the best resources out there?"

I appreciate your thoughts. One thing's for sure - this forum is certainly one of those places, so I'll stay tuned.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Also, I wanted to learn more about the kinds of things most of you might take for granted. Things like what you can and can't do, the "standards", the standards that still work, obvious things to you that I might not think about...

Is there a CPA for dummies?
