Hi Kev,
Boy do I understand where you are! I had one of the worst cases of 'paralysis by analysis' on the books.
It is entirely possible to pick a product, sign up as an affilate and begin an adwords campaign in one day. The downside is that you can lose the shirt off of your back in a week if you don't have a plan.
I broke the paralysis with a pen and paper. I sat down and decided what I wanted to sell, how I was going to sell it. I just forced myself to pick something - you can always refine your strategies as you go along but pick something! Once I wrote down what I wanted to do, I wrote down what steps I needed to take to get underway. If your technical skills are not great (mine aren't!) then keep it simple.
I think the reason it actually worked is that I set aside one weekend to do this and I did it OFFLINE. The more you surf, the more information you will encounter, the more your head has to process and nothing gets done.
Sit down, decide what your first product/service will be (should be something you are interested in), decide how much you want to spend to get it off of the ground. Once you've articulated this, determine what you need to get started - a website?, an adwords account? What is the most basic level of knowledge you need to get started. Note" I said 'get started', not make your first million.
Only when you have made a commitment to a plan should you go online to look for additional information. Don't allow yourself to become distracted by a promise of quick wealth.
I hope this helps, Kev. Good luck.
