Abel, I guess the bottom line is you need to stop spending money on 'easy' tools/ebooks, and start putting a few dozen hours into a campaign or site. If you're hard up for even $30, take a step back and rethink what it takes to profit. Any idiot can drive revenue, but the ones that make mad profit are the ones who continually try new things and learn from mistakes.
Let your first lesson learned be "The ebooks are shit, do not buy" and start trying different strategies out for yourself.
You should only pay for 4 things.
-Hosting
-LP Design/content/ad copy
-PPC
-Beer/Pot
