No offense, but I really hate it when something useless/baseless is posted followed by thank yous from the community. Your post is a clear example of the aforementioned.
Some rules to follow, if you want to succeed:
1. Don't expect things to be handed to you;
2. Read, Learn and Experiment all the time, until you find the perfect method;
3. Think long term;
4. Treat IM as a business;
5. Prepare yourself to lose some battles, before you win the War.
Good Luck!
OP asks 2 questions, your response has nothing to do with OP's questions, yet you follow through with your 'lecture.'
Honestly, I think it makes you look like you're baiting 'thank yous' and it makes you seem like a reddit karma-whore.
At OP: I feel that rather than asking yourself "which method should I use?", you should be asking yourself how long you should be sticking with a method. Think of it as a new skill that you're attaining. IM is a big world, and within it you can find different means to the same end: Each of these means is a skill subset in and of itself, and you need time to develop skills. I suggest you stick to whatever method you have going on now for another couple of months and see how it goes. Don't be afraid to PM members who clearly know what they're doing and ask them for advice, just don't ask to be spoonfed, demonstrate to them that you are actually putting forth the effort.
I have been rewarded greatly with knowledge from some of the big guns here on BHW, and I must say I would not have learned the things I have learned so far had I kept switching methods around.
