Still I have no idea how to earn a lot of miles, travel a lot etc. without spending too much money. Anybody care to help a newbie out?

Well I'm a newbie too, and not quite as "professional" as the others yet. But the other day I signed up to Qantas Frequent flyer, and even if it takes a long time, a free flight within the next 6 years after adding all the points together will be worth it!
Also, when you search for flights, try and be as flexible as you can with dates, months, layovers, different airports and so on so that you can try and find the best possible rock-bottom price. This is great:
