In my case, don't get started with a site that needs specialized and elaborate coding. Keep your needs as simple as possible, and concentrate on learning and making money.
What's the one thing you wish you had known before you started as an A.M.?

this website.
When I first started AM, I was distributing flyers door-to-door hahaha, and then I was hired to work at Blockbuster for their total access website (online dvd rentals), right when they first introduced it in October 2006, nobody knew about their new program. If I knew what I know now, I could've made a killing. I don't think I'll have another opportunity like that, that was the same as having an insider trade secret in the stock market. I could've cleaned up.

^^ Those and the fact that you can actually sell affiliate products like you would be hoarding your own stuff. For example -- 50% of hosting leads I do are sold on IM or Phone, just like I would be selling my own stuff.
Also, it would have been good knowing that PPC was not only for the big guys and even starters could dabble into it. Yeah, I know.

I did the exact same thing. But now instead of wasting my time with technical crap I am always coming up with new tests and ideas. I then take them to my developer and he does it 10x faster and with better quality than I ever could.
Find a development partner and stick with them!
On that note... If anyone is looking to create a partnership with a developer/techie im entertaining offers...
I wish I knew that Credit Cards were a bad choice for a first website...
Haha, me too. Haven't made $0.01 off my site, Credit Cards
I should note that I have left the site alone, I realize it's not SEO'ed like it would need to be to make money. I left it and moved on to a less competitive niche
