Aim quit looking for the answers everywhere. We talk to you in IRC all the time, you really need to stop reading and do one of the ideas we give you. Start testing 10-20-30 things at the same time. If you just take the ideas you read here and try them, then ask for specific help on how to tweak them we'll help yah man. There is no easy answer other then test. I personally know you've done enough reading, now it's time to get to work.
I'm New At AM. Any advice?

At least you aim high. I just aim.
Actually AIM = Adscape Internet Marketing, my old company before we started WebproLeads.
Regarding IRC, 99% chance it's not me. The day I have enough spare time to sit around and bullshit in a chatroom is the day that I've got too much time on my hands and too much money in the bank. ...no offense to thost that do; it's just not my style.
Now for some real advice:
It doesn't matter what you do, if you do it with some innovation and creativity, you'll be successful. Internet Marketing is much more than PPC -> Landing Page -> Profit. If it were, this industry wouldn't exist.
The best thing I can suggest is to learn every aspect of marketing. Learn photoshop, learn html, learn some sort of server side programing language, learn server administration, learn sql, learn ppc marketing, learn media buying, learn cpm marketing. Learn it all.
Think outside the box. Get creative. Look at what your competition is doing and do it better. Set up a system for split testing. This can be simple or overly complex depending on your abilities and what you're looking for in reporting and analytics.
Most of all, don't be afraid to fail. You never really 'fail' in this industry. Even if you lose money, you're still gaining valuable data and insight into your offer, the industry, your user base, etc.
@: OP
I'd start with a bigger budget. Start saving and make sure you have at LEAST $5000 for testing.
I honestly do not know of a better guide than this:
http://www.diorex.com/the-affiliate-playbook/
Read that. From my own years in the industry, that is pretty much gospel. To be honest, I'm glad my competition doesn't bother with reading guides like that.
Whatever anyone tells you remember this... the money is in PPC.
