You know what worked for me?

Research Bitcoins - where and how to buy them, anonymize them and transfer them.
Learn the basics of PGP.
Go at least 10 pages back in most of the subforums on this board - there's lots of answers for what you seek there.  Start with this topic - http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=15383.0
Remember that inherently, what you are about to do is probably illegal wherever you live. This means that you could both be arrested and prosecuted in a criminal court for whatever it is you intend to buy online.

Seriously... it's not that hard. You'll learn a lot more if you take the time to research things than if you're told what to do.

Totally disagree.  It is hard to learn.

Maybe you are technically proficient, that makes a huge difference.

My advice to the OP is don't rush.  It may take you days or a week to get a good grasp on everything needed to make a successful purchase.  But once you've done it, it's easy.

You can get BTC in 10 minutes if you use a service like bitinstant.com (google it). You can deposit money at wal-mart or any place that sends moneygrams and you have the coins 10 minutes llater... then transfer the coins through a couple accounts before sending them here to SR if you want to be extra safe.
Some people use a combination of Dwolla and MtGox to send funds strait from your bank account to your bitcoin wallet especially is you need large amounts of BTC.

I'm not going to write a step by step guide because there are dozens of them all you have to do is a simple search..

Like seriously go to Google and search..
Use the forum search and you can find what you are looking for just as easily as I could if I did a google search and forums search and then posted the link here for you
