1). Get your battlestats to around 400 to 600 each;
2). Rapidly take on the various targets in the Baldr's leveling list ;
3). Get to level 15 by doing attack+leave from targets in the aforementioned list;
4). See if someone in your faction needs a spouse to share rent/upkeep on a private island, and if not, see if another low level wants to marry and go halfsies on renting one with you;
5). Start renting a private island that has an air strip (it is the only reasonable way to make profits from travelling);
6). Start traveling to various countries to buy plushies/flowers/items (there are guides on the forum about where to go and what to buy);
7). Save up about 10mil to buy a large suitcase to further increase your travel profits.
A lot of newbies also sell losses to get money to cover their various expenses and build networth for stocks/bank, but some players/factions have a dim view of doing that, so the choice to do so is up to personal preference.
In my faction I'm usually the "newbie who advises younger newbies", so feel free to pm me any specific questions you might have.
As Shooby said, there are forum guides for practically anything, along with a wide array of wiki pages for more specific game mechanics. Google searches on a particular query followed by typing "Torn" at the end are surprisingly helpful for locating particular guides, and the guides section of the forum also has a compendium page for them.
