Kindy gutsy of you to actually post this. good job. Pick a method that you seem to understand and seems like it will be easy for you to implement. Then, stop reading & downloading stuff and start using that method. Once it starts working for you, start trying to switch it up; see how that same method can be used to branch out to other areas.
Once you've accomplished that and you feel comfortable with it and have a system worked out pick another method to try. Lather, rinse, repeat.
