The first thing you will want to do is make sure your system is optimally set up for multiboxing. This means shutting down any non-essential programs.
If you are comfortable with following tweak guides, I'd suggest starting there. Of course, the very first rule of any tweak guide should be BACKUP, so make sure you've backed up your system. Even if you aren't using a tweak guide, I still suggest backing up your system. I run a weekly backup.
If not, at the very least, you'll want to make sure your system is clean. Run a spyware scan, malware scan and a virus scan. And not just quick ones, either. You should ALWAYS have an antivirus program, that is not what I'd call a non-essential program. If you're running Windows 7, I'd also advise running Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. No, none of this has anything to do with multiboxing specifically, but it does have to do with system security and MMOs are huge targets for compromised systems.
I use Avast! AntiVirus, MalwareBytes and Secunia PSI {Thanks Blast3r}. Every single one of these programs is FREE, so no excuses! Check this thread for what people recommend.
Finally, if your game provides an additional layer of security such as an authenticator, USE IT. If you can invest hundreds of dollars in subscriptions, programs, hardware and games, you can pop another few bucks for an authenticator.
Next you should install your game. There's many schools of though on this. Some run everything out of one folder/install {per computer}. Some use 1 for the main, 1 for the slaves. Others use an individual one for every instance. Some use Symlinks to have partial installs.
From here, you can start setting up your multiboxing program.

Once you have that set up, it's time to move into the game. This is where you'll need to set up your macros and such so that they keys you're sending via your broadcasters actually translate to ingame actions. One exception is ISBoxer, where you can set up your macros in ISBoxer via ATGs.
Each game will use a different format for it's macros, but they all have some common actions required for making multiboxing work.
The first thing you will need is a means for your slaves to target, to insure that everyone is attacking the same thing. This can be a macro command or an ingame hotkey.
The next thing you will need is a means for your slaves to follow your main.
That is the bare minimum any game will need to make multiboxing viable.
For the most part, WoW has the most complex macro system than other games out today. However, there's not really any good documentation here on it for beginners, and WoW is the game most multiboxers are likely to be playing, so I'll add that to this guide.
For other games, I'll post available links.
