If you have never done this before then in reality you need to take a different approach than the standard one. There is where so many newbies fail. If you look at 100 Amazon affiliate tutorials you will find 99 of those have same flow, same basics.
01. Find a great Product from Amazon
02. Check if keywords can easily ranked in Google
03. Get Domain, Hosting and Content
04. Set your Wordpress site.
05. Start building content and also do the SEO stuff.
This is a great setup for someone who know little bit about the process or for a newbie who is determined to get there no matter what. But most newbies have doubts, they worry and they get distracted. They want to see quick money and after 3 months working their asses of if there is not a dime earned they get totally disappointed and give up.
For an average newbie the most important thing is earning their first dollar or even first 50 cents. Seeing money in your account does amazing things. It puts your motivation on Steroids. So first thing to do is finding cheapest and the most easy item to sell. This item could have only $5 and you might only get 20 cent per sale but the point is you will get getting those 20 cents. Also there you can test traffic sources and various ad placements and everything. Once you are confidant and start understanding the whole thing then you go for the kill. You invest money to get domain, hosting, content and whatever your project needs. This is when you will able to follow all those cool tutorials without making a mess.
There is another thing you should know. getting an Amazon or AdSense account is not easy as it used to be. Years ago when I applied for Amazon I just as a blogpost and for AdSense I got the account for brand new 5 page site. Not anymore. These AdSense approve only old sites which has been around at least 6 months. As for Amazon they let you register and use their ads but they approve your account only after when you start making sales. Then they will do a manual audit on your site and let you know if you are good to go. So these things need a preparation too.
