A good start would be @Jay M.'s ebook, "Raw Land Investing Simplified" available on Amazon. It's only $10 and will give a good, but brief overview of the business and all the moving parts. Reading that should either excite you or talk you out of starting down this road. Either way, it should give you some clarity on what you want to do next.
For more detailed information about how to pick a county, send a mailing, perform due diligence, close a property yourself, create a listing, and ultimately sell it, you should buy one of the "guru" programs available from The Land Geek or the Land Academy. I personally purchased the Land Geek one and have been having success with it. A free but maybe less thorough route is the RETipster blog, most of the same information is there, but it will take more effort on your part to put it all together. Depends if you want to save time or money, either way, get the proper education first.
Once you have a basic education under your belt, I would suggest joining the private Facebook group "Land Motivation". You can search for it on Facebook and find it. It's all land investors who have already received a basic education and are now doing deals. It's a great place to troubleshoot one-off things that come up as well as ask for best practices and tips from experienced people.
If you have any specific questions, you can always message me directly.
Good Luck!
