Tips & Advice for a Total Newbie?

So I've spent the better part of this week trying to take in as much information as possible from GFY and what all of you have posted. Not only are you quite an entertaining bunch, you are all a wealth of information, as well! I'm hoping you can help steer me in the right direction so I can start my foray into the adult world on the right foot.

1. So I need to start off as a CamGirl, and from my research, I've learned that I need an external webcam - not just my laptop's built in one. Is the Logitech Pro 9000 still a good one to purchase and use as my cam? I'm also on a budget here so can't get too wild & crazy with this purchase, but something to get things rolling with and then I can upgrade later if need be.

2. Once I get the external cam, what site should I join to begin broadcasting? I started 2013 laid off and my savings will only last me one more month of rent, so I need to start bringing in some $$$ quickly! [If any sites/their audience prefer a certain look, I'm a total Mediterranean mutt (Italian/Greek/Persian/French - speak all the languages too), petite (4'11" + 118lbs), and curvy (my av is me)]

3. I've read online to not go with a studio and work directly with the cam sites that are already out there since the cut is the same. Any truth to this? Or any great reason to go with a studio that I might be missing?

4. While I'm venturing into this world, I want to use my brain and entrepreneurial drive to start my own website and not just rely on my cam profile. That way I can increase my presence on the net and hopefully that will translate into more money for me. I already know the basic principles of design and HTML, but can anyone recommend where I can get up to speed on search engine optimization?

If anyone has any additional tips/advice, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks to everyone on here in advance for any guidance you can provide!
