I want to get into trading with alt coins, and i want to know where to begin. Just looking to make some extra btc. Please help, thanks!

Just to remind... trading is not always profitable so use only what you can afford to loose.
Nothing is quick and to become a successful trader you need have a lot of experience or be incredible lucky. Don't think anybody going to share his real good working strategy (I would definitely not if had any) and some users could even try to mislead and manipulate you towards their own profits, just be cautious.
I think you should first get some knowledge and catch the terminology by reading post dedicated to exchanges so you know what people are discussing. Then begin to trade using small amounts and see how the market works. Maybe later after developing your skills you can try automated trader e.g. CAT to increase your profits.
Popular exchanges are poloniex.com yobit.net and bittrex.com
good luck
