Good thinking.
You have started off right, already. If you think and plan ahead you can avoid a lot of mistakes.
Without getting into specifics, there are a few very basic ideas that I would keep in mind.
First, listen to Lisa's sage advice. She is a real success story, not an imaginary millionaire guru overnight scam. If you haven't been there already check out her 2createawebsite.com for a lot of good help.
Second, and again you will get this from Lisa too, remember that the two critical areas are content (writing) and marketing. There are a lot of things to learn but those are the two essentials for success.
Third, check out carefully where you learn. For example, there are many sites that are useless if not harmful to use. In particular, no matter how you work, eventually you need to know at least the basics of html and css. Even if you use templates, etc., you need to make simple adjustments. Many sites are terribly outdated and inappropriate for designing modern web sites. For good information the best in this area is probably w3schools.com. Similar factors are at play in other areas. You just want to be careful.
