A big one is signing up for CPA's vs. MGR for long term profit. I suggest for a new player to set a goal of hitting 10 CPA players their first go round. Take the money which should be at least $600.00 and INVEST IT IN A GOOD SITE WITH CONTENT. Now you take your "capital" and go after the long term MGR players from that point.
I could give you some other secrets but that costs more than $600.00
Bottom line kids is this, don't waste time going after all CPA's. The quick money is nice but it's 100X nicer to look at my stats daily and see hundreds of MGR profit coming in knowing that I've done very little to earn it. I put in the hard work first, now I just maintain relationships with these PRECIOUS MGR players.
Work the hardest to identify your MGR players that actually produce. Then take the time to maintain the relationship. It doesn't take much but will pay big dividends down the road.
