Someone eager to learn looking for recommendations E-books/Guides/Advice

Good day,
This is my first time posting again in years, I started off on this forum doing some blackhat methods for pocket money as a teen. The only thing that ever kind of worked for me were super simple blackhat methods and scaling it up with bots and buying loads of accounts. Think of Twitter + PPC or IG + CPA. I would quickly get demotivated from small ROI and it being blackhat meaning accounts getting banned and me feeling somewhat "guilty" for promoting shady things. Blogging/SEO/Creating a website has always been really appealing, hence I've tried and failed miserably on all the websites I've created over the years as a teen. Copy pasting, buying cheap content, auto content spinners, autoblogging, buying backlinks,I think I had that same blackhat mentality of if I just scale up (more is better) it will work out. Now I'm a bit older and patient I would love to give creating a website another shot. I think before buying a domain and hosting plan it'll be a lot more benificial to do some reading and get a bit more knowledge. So my question is if anyone would recommend an E-book, training platform, forum post, videos, it can be anything, something
I can learn from and dedicate my free time to the next few months (a good source of information applying to the present circs).

I hope this doesn't come over as a beg for spoon feeding me a method or anything else, cause it's really not my intention .

Thanks in advance!

Welcome back
You didn’t specify what courses are you looking for? Are you looking to create blogs/ contents and promote some affiliates/ ads ...
I found a lot of info here, all scattered, I copied the info I trusted and pasted it in my iPhone notepad so I can read them with a cup of coffee. I’m no expert but have been very regular here and the guys/ girls been pretty nice, never had a question that was not answered in details. I’m still scratching the surface and moving very slow in some project specifically the CPA and affiliates ...

I’m pretty sure some guys will jump in and paste a good number of links for you here. I suggest that you be more specific on what you want so you can get best answers.

Sounds like you lack sustainability in your strategies.

I had the same issue, it's more about knowing the depth of how things work.

I'll recommend everything.substack.com to understand more of biz in general

Honestly the best newsletter i paid for

Thanks for the replies! I purposely didn't specify exactly what I wanted to get into because I'm just not a 100% sure what works right now. I know google and ecommerce in general has changed a lot the past few years. I guess a smaller, niche specific website, in something I'm informed and interested in myself. But then I'm open to totally different things too. Monetization wise, at this point I'd be really happy knowing how to make a nice-looking optimized website that receives organic traffic that I can build and improve on! (Maybe a micro-niche blog)? Is that still a thing?

I don’t know, I’m lost. You have to know what you want, no one here is going to write you a book and give you tons of advise when at the same time they may be shooting in the dark because they don’t know how to answer you.
please be specific and list what you are looking for.
why make it a mystery? List what you want and see what people advise you here, otherwise your post will be buried in the black hole of BHW

They are just platforms, substack is for newsletters.

Thanks for the reply, you're mistaking my intentions. I'm not looking for someone to guide me or write me a book. I thought broadly SEO and other aspects work the some for a big range of different kinds of websites and strategies but that might be my mistake. Largely I know how to create a website but would like to learn how to create content, get traffic, rank, monetize. It'd be fun to create a micro niche blog again like I've tried in the past but have succes with it this time.

I will be checking these out right now, thank you!

I have been going through these. They seem to apply to a niche blog and can atleast give you a starting point.
