Only thing I can tell you is one, build a team, as trying to build an ARG alone can be hell; and two, once you have the beginning set up and ready to go, do not post it here, at least not 'in-character'. Come to think of it, best to read this and this (Rules for puppetmasters and puppetmaster help subforum, respectively).

I'd also suggest, if you have never followed an ARG all the way through that you either read up on past games (see the archive section) or follow a current game through from beginning to end.

Why? this will give you a feel for flow and your audience.
