If I was going to give advice to a guy just getting started I would say:
Looks - this is the easiest thing you can control. You don't have to spend a lot of money, just dress nice, look and smell clean, and have a good haircut. Just doing this will make you stand out nowadays. You will feel better about yourself and your self-confidence will improve.
Social skills - Learn how to carry on an interesting conversation. Keep up on a wide variety of general topics and talk to everyone you can until you can talk to anyone about anything. Soon it won't matter if you are talking to the old man at the grocery or the hotties in the club, you will be comfortable. Learn how to move a conversation from general blab to picking up and soon you will start getting girls.
Sure thing - Once you get a girl you can count on for sex keep her around and start looking for others. My inner game took a massive jump once I had a roommate/fuck buddy and could start gaming chicks knowing 100% that I was going to get laid that night, regardless. When I moved to a new city and didn't know anybody it really helped to know that there were pay-for-play options available in case I struck out. Once I found a girlfriend who would agree to an open relationship I had my sure thing again. And finally, when you get a girl you don't always need to pump and dump her, you can add her to your stable for the occasional hookup or booty call. Once you have a dozen or so in your harem you will be able to get laid whenever you want, and sometimes you will actually have to have sex even if you don't want to just to keep the girls happy. Then you are set.
