If you're looking for guidelines and tips, you probably shouldn't be playing for real money... If you're an aggressive player - even if you are weak - you will be rewarded sometimes. In the end, everyone can calculate odds, but the cards that come up don't follow odds on any single hand and people do get lucky and outdrawn.

Secondly, if you don't know who the fish is within the first 20 minutes of sitting at an online table, you're probably the fish. Most tables have a couple of strong players that sit there all night and take money away from fish that come in and out throughout the night. Choosing a table is 1/2 the battle in online poker. You should have a decent idea who you're playing before you actually 'sit down'.

Lastly, just because you're playing, doesn't mean you're learing. There's a million tutorials and articles on the net to google and read. Read first, try second. I would also recommend regular live table games first if your friends know how to play. Also see if there's any cheap charity tournaments in the area/free bar tournaments/etc.
