In your hour I would learn as much as possible about all the Tabs, click and read, all that you can.
I'm still learning now after over 2 years.
It would also be wise to invest in a standing order of just over $36 in T-Credits (125) this will give you the 1500VP to make Executive Affiliate. The rest of your investment, in my opinion should be used for advertising your gateways.
You will find your gateways under the black My Acc Tab.
