I see your post count is somewhat low, so either you are totally new, or you have been too busy DOING stuff to participate in forums. I'm hoping for the latter. My advice is pretty simple, and that is to be diligent. Don't just jump on anything that is thrown at you because it looks lucrative. Make sure it's something that appeals to you in some way, because nothing sucks worse than throwing a bunch of time and money into something you don't enjoy only to find you're not only broke, but also miserable.
