first day at affiliate marketing

hi I've been reading blogs and forums for some time now and have finally decided to go forward in pursuing affiliate marketing. I'm just at the beginning stages of installing all my necessary tools. I am planning to start my first campaign on POF because of I've read that its very easy for newbies to start there. I've read the STM step by step guide and have a few questions that probably sound stupid but here goes.

1. what are some solid affiliate networks to join first if i want to start with POF?
2. how do i get an affiliate manager? do they come with the network or...?
3. i dont understand the part in the guide that talks about installing the server? my close friend recommended Voluum and told me not to use prosper202 or cpvlabs because they were. the STM guide suggested i buy the Beyond Hosting starter VPS and ask them to install the tracking soft ware "prosper202". So what should i do? should i just use prosper202 and beyond hosting start VPS for now? if i use Voluum do i still use beyond hosting? i guess that was a few questions in one but I'm just a little confused and want to get my point across for sure.
4. i have many more questions but i guess i will ask after i try to figure it out on my own. I'm just trying to follow the step by step guide and not skip anything.

thanks tons guys. probably wouldn't be getting into this industry if there was no STM.

1. There are loads of good affiliate networks out there - here's a list of all the ones with active reps on STM: http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...kype-Directory
2. Yep, get a membership to a network and you'll get an AM free!
3. If you use Voluum you will only need a server for your landing pages. You'll still need somewhere to host landers ( see this thread for one solid option) but you won't need Prosper.
4. Fire away - that's what we're here for.
