Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I know a bit about it like…write what you know,(find your niche), they are simple and sometimes free to set up (Blogger, Tumblr, ectr) ,you can make money thru advertising like AdSense, AdGenta, Text Link Ads or thru affiliate programs , Im not going to get rich overnight or maybe never , it can take alot of work to be successful
What Im looking for is a website that can teach me the basics for beginners, I googled ” blogging for beginners free” and was OVERWHELMED by the number of responses. So.can anyone recommend a beginner friendly website that teaches step by step tutorial style for blogging?
Please no haters or judgmental people need answer
Thanks in Advance

I first ran into Anonymous on Youtube after watching Tom Cruise Scientology vids. I am not affiliated with either organization AT ALL! I have read (most) of the info on Wikipedia about Anonymous, And also Chanology but I don’t really get it. What is their main goal? Also what is their beef with Scientology? I totally disagree with Scientology but what is Anonymous’ protest against them about?
Please no complaints about how I categorized this question…I really have no idea what section it should be under, thanks!
What I really want to know is…what is their ultimate goal, and where does the wikileaks come in? I know this is a complex and unorganized question, sorry, but I think to adequately make sense of it for me I will need a looooong answer. Thanks for your attempts, no haters please, I really just want to understand.
