It definitely sounds like a good starting plan, one that you have thought through pretty well. For tools, go with as many free ones when starting out. Sign up for free trials and you still also notice that you'll be learning an extremely valuable and powerful IM method if you aren't already familiar with it - CPA. In the short term, CPA earns fast and requires the least amount of time to get started. My best CPA offers start earning the same day that I start them and just continue to build more income after day 1.
SB is a must have. Spend the money here for sure and wait for some of the other programs until you have enough $ coming in. The other critical software you will want to have when starting out is a good e-mail auto responder program (especially if you're thinking of creating review sites). Many programs come with free trial offers so you can start immediately making $ before you even buy it.
Capturing targeted niche traffic is so valuable in IM and sometimes overlooked by people starting out. Many top IMers say that CPA is their largest income source and even switch to this method completely. Building your e-mail list takes time but from the first one you capture, you will be starting to earn immediately.
The Adsense sites work well when you buy packages. Start work on ranking those sites and don't be afraid to dump the weaker ones and purchase a few more. Time is the issue with adsense sites so you may wish to add these to your IM mix only after you are making decent $ on your other campaigns.
Your offline strategy may need to take a back seat for a while so you can really focus on your online methods. If you are confident that you can start making solid earnings with this offline method right away, then go for it. One of my offline money makers became a favorite niche subject of mine to promote and is now a full-fledged online store tied directly to review sites with my CPA offers. The traffic between the two is incredible!
I started out in IM 6 months after quitting my real world job that wasn't keeping pace with my expenses. During that initial few months, I was selling 'junk' that I had on eBay. Looking to expand my eBay business, I began reading and absorbing as much free material as possible before getting my feet wet in IM. Now, I still sell on eBay but a majority of my income comes through CPA. Adsense sends me my checks still but is very little of what I do.
I wanna wish you much luck in your ventures!
