As alumni of Doug Rucker's school, I'd definitely suggest connecting with Doug Rucker. He's a cool guy to deal with, honest and up front. He's probably forgotten more than most will ever know about this business and industry, and doesn't hold anything back.
I've been in business for just about a year now. Having gone to Doug's class, based on trial and error, mistakes and wasted time I've saved $1,000's of dollars. With Doug's help and processes, I've profited SEVERAL $1,000'S dollars. I average well over $100/hr.
