Lessons Learned so far in Making Money

[Great Certainty]

Ive been quite a while here in bestblackhatforum . I got here through searching for Dan Kennedy stuff. I bumped into this forum a number of times before but was hesistant to join in as it looked pretty scary :D
But nonetheless i signed when i saw the post by http://bestblackhatforum.com/User-SeoKing-Corp for the hardtofind christmas package http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-GET-...#pid550790. This thing is gold! I've been listening to Michael Senoff's stuff for quie a while and have been really really curious of the HMA system.
I've been learning some stuff here in BBHF such as the reps or reputation.Clicking that + reputation button. I also learned that before I was a leecher that's why I don't know the password and can't open some compressed files.
But then I gave BBHF due diligent study. Found out the password and found out how things work here. Like adding reps to people uploading and re-uploading stuff as gratitude for their efforts. Buying the real product after you've gotten results with it and seen that it's legit information that works.
I've also learned some mirror creating. Set-up my mirrorcreator account. And re-upload some stuff that I downloaded from here and some stuff I got from somewhere else.
Yeah It's also awesome when people post reviews of proudcts up in the thread. From that I learned that a lot of WSOs are shit.
I also tried Fiverr. I have some design software skills but found out that for me it might not really work. But I'm considering using the arbitrage technique taught in some products related to fiverr.
I've also learned some copywriting stuff. Like Carlton's yardstick of sorts of writing in a cold realism to the fantastical magical claims. With that I learned to be more critical of sales pages :D
Right now I'm working toward setting up an authority blog to set my self up as an marketing consultant based from the stuff I got from * h2f christmas share and from the deep research that i am doing.
I can't still get my hands on the HMA training stuff and implementation guides. It would be awesome to get those. I manage to download some of the HMA stuff from [url]http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-GET-HMA-Hidden-Marketing-Assets-Richard-Johnson-3-Day-Certification-DVDs?highlight="richard+johnson" here[/url] but it's slooowww to download without a prem in [Reported by Members as premium hosting that SUCK! Use MEDIAFIRE :) !!!]. And the other files i downloaded apart from part one gives errors.
I also have done some odesk work in the past month. Though am not liking being bossed around really.
So right now I'm exploring to earn more money from my art sales with the stuff im learning from hma, then using those as case studies for my marketing consulting services, then exploring some of the other money earning stuff here.
I also did some 99 designs stuff but found out that my style and knowledge of design seems outdated and the skills i'm learning doing design are not as flexible as say learning copywriting here or business systems for hma. So I think I won't be doing taht anymore.
I'm looking forward to being more active here in BBHF. Develop the habit of repping and re-upping and creating mirrors. Posting reviews and what not.
Hoping to hear from you guys. About your ideas and suggestions.
I'm early 20's out from college for 2 years no stalbe job because i'm more entrepreneurial. kinda broke right now, living with my parents happily. But of course looking forwards and working hard towards making my situation and my family's situation a whole lot better :D And getting some wicked fiber optic internet connection so that i could share to the max here in bbhf :D
And managed to learn some workarounds to :) like adding in wp-contents/uploads at the end of the web url
