My advice would be too look at forums like these(a few out there)  and keep an eye on new coin releases.  anyone who says GPU's wont make you money at this stage in the game need to only look at black coin and white coin to know this to not be true.
My other advice would be to keep an eye on troll box's too on exchanges and get the general feeling for a coin before heavily investing in it or mining it.  Like i said if you are going to use the standard route of using coinwarz and multipools then yes your going to struggle to make money.
I don't know if you guys go into the trading side of coins too but that is where the real money is once you have mined your coin, for me anyway.

What a lot of people are missing is patience and expect what mining they have done to make them instant profit, wrong, sometimes it can take a few weeks sometimes longer after you have mined to really make decent profit.
