I've noticed the same thing. While research is a key component, you also have to actually perform the action in order to learn it.
It's only once the core skills become automatic that you can focus more on developing your own unique methods.
The problems inherent in learning blackhat im run deeper. A lot of the time I find that the information I'm after is simply not publicly available. It is to be expected considering the nature of the trade, and I am also guilty of keeping my own secrets (the few that I have..). But it does have the effect of making this job a very individual one; which makes it that much more challenging.
It essentially boils down to doing your own brainstorming and your own testing. Which does come with expense in terms of time, money and headaches.
As for biggest mistakes: Adware marketing. The only of my 3 (thus far) failed projects from which I didn't learn anything useful other than "there is no magical money-making button".

My biggest mistake was to work with the shitty free domains and hosting. Most of the newbies use to do it and it is the main reason of failure in Internet Market.
So i will suggest you to invest a little money and stay away from them. In the end you have to loose them....

My biggest mistake: Losing one of my IRL jobs because I didn't have time for it. Instead I was clicking ads on PTC sites for 1 cent a piece (IRL job gave me 15$ an hour).
Yes, I was young. But hey: Thats how I earned my first 10$ online!
And then I decided to spend them on autosurfs................

quitting before I even started.
1.5 years ago I said I was going to start a website. I bought a domain and host but I did not know how to set it up. It was with godaddy and I was looking at the settings and stuff and wondering how I start this up. Then I was like screw it and quit and got my refund back.

not using my epic programming skills to take all the great and working black hat software applications out there, integrating them all into one single package, improving on working examples and hopefully making tons of money like the authors of current working black hat software packages do =)

well few years ago i've invested a lot, i mean real lot, in a site that I thought would finally bring me some stable income, since i wanted to get out from affiliate game (as we all know it's not stable). That site turned out to be a fail. I think that was my biggest mistake.
in the same year I bought $4000 alienware laptop which turned out to be total crap. Now alienware is way cheaper but I still won't buy it as I know it's super crap and its hinge is made from plastic! (yes i know because i ever checked it out)

These are some mistakes that I continue to make:
- Getting lots of new ideas constantly --> jumping from idea to idea before profiting from the previous one
- Trying to do stuff in "the most efficient way possible" --> afraid of wasting my time doing stuff (like building backlinks) in a bit time consuming way --> not building enough backlinks (--> reading too much BHW
- Getting comfortable with the IM service income I get (which is not even that much, like 1000-1350 dollars a month) --> Not working enough on my own sites/products which would enable me to quit offering services altogether and scale up my business.
In short: Lack of focus.
But I am getting better with this and the amount of action I am taking for my own projects and sites is constantly increasing.
this is pretty much me spot on!
this is truly and inspirational piece of history man. you could write a book on this shit! (royalties for the idea please
)
