The best advice I can give is to take it into your own hands as entirely as possible. There is money to be made, but keep in mind that the stock market does not create money (ie: print out bills) -- the money merely changes hands in one form another. The amount of money in the stock market which is distributed by companies via dividends or share buybacks is fairly small, so it's important to realize that if you are seeking superior inflation adjusted returns relative to the market average, one group of people is losing their money while another group is winning that money. (And you could easily find yourself in the losing group!)
The reason I say this is because I believe that once a person realizes that the money from the stock market doesn't grow on trees and that the market is a dog eat dog environment, they will be more skeptical of public systems such as ones which offer to 'make you rich' with their stock strategies after you pay them a $500 a year subscription fee. It also demonstrates that, while working strategies do exist out there, you have to do your own research to find them. If a public strategy existed which claimed to make you a millionaire (and actually was legitimate), it could only work for so long. (remember: for each trade, there must always be both a buyer -and- a seller. Tons of people may want to buy into this strategy to get rich, but for how long will the sellers be willing to sell at discounted prices?) Soon, the startegy ends up more or less arbitraged away into market average returns.
So, for a few starting tips:
1) Do your research and develop your own strategy. Try to avoid people who are selling their own systems, because they are often frauds. Ever hear the phrase: "Those who know how to trade get rich. Those who don't, become teachers"? There is a lot of truth in that.
2) Once you find a working strategy, automatically assume that it is wrong or that their is some flaw in your methodology. If you merely take it and run with it, you could easily be chasing a pipe dream. Work on it as if you're trying to crack a safe -- do everything you can to try to find a weakness in it. Triple check to make sure your calculations are not wrong. Fiddle with the parameters of your strategy -- does it fall completely apart when you do so? Test it over different time frames to make sure it holds up and is steady. Factor in the costs of trading (commissions, spread, and slippage.) Is it still considerably good? Give it a margin of error -- for instance, assume you can't get in the trade immediately but have to wait.
3) If it passes all of these tests and more, dive in, right? No... Set up paper trades and follow them for a considerable length of time. Factor in the costs of trading while doing so, too. Is it still holding up? If so, you might have a winner.
4) Don't throw all of your eggs in one basket though. Perhaps you can diversify among stocks to test your strategy, but the best of both worlds is in diversifying in your strategies. Discover three, preferably four or five winning strategies and split your money between them (and perhaps again between the individual stocks in each strategy.) Strategies can and do become worthless over the course of time, and it's wise not to have everything invested in only one of them.
