How about this:
Decide on what you want to do.
Search reputable sources on the internet that have articles and real how-to's of people with first hand experience (not some phony wannabes). This forum alone has plenty of members with plenty of experience. Start there. Many of them have their own blogs where they systematically break down what they do.
Consume ONLY the material that directly applies to your current step. Don't go off reading about optimization when you haven't even built a landing page (or whatever you decide to do). Read only actionable content and take action immediately.
Start right now.
Ebooks are just masturbation devices, much like testimonials of success. They may temporarily motivate you, but odds are that you won't be taking action soon and in a week you'll be consuming some more masturbatory material while you exercise more inaction.
That's how anybody with some discipline learns to do anything
