Best thing to start with, for rookies

Hey yall, I introduced myself before so might just skip that and instead introduce myself in a different way. As a long time lurker and someone that does have knowledge of many areas of internet marketing in theory, Im curious as to what do you all think would be a good step for someone new to turn theory into practice, what to begin with.

Personally Im thinking ecommerce or affiliate, especially affiliate seems to have lowest barrier to entry and eventually I wouldnt mind to get into link outreach etc.

However if you were just starting out now, what would you begin with and then build from there? Obviously I know its best to read as much as you can on here but as far as actually taking steps, how would you go about it?
Thanks.

Easiest way to start, hands down probably POD which stands for print on demand. There's not THAT much of that on this forum, but @podninja has made some sizeable contributions in that field. Check it out and good luck!
