fengshui is compilation of concepts or formulas, that calculate which direction or location is the good energy and how to use that good energy to enhance your wealth or health luck.
there are no simple tips. authentic chinese fengshui is not about put a windchime here, a mirror there and your house is all in harmony.
it's a long process. first you need to know and study all of the formulas. then calculate the areas/ directions you need to use for the different parts of the house. for example, you already know which areas are good, you put the living room and the bedroom there. the bad areas are left to the toilets and storage rooms. then you also need to cross check this with other formulas. in fengshui it is better if your arrangement/ solution is supported by 2 or more formulas - this makes it even more powerful.
i do not think that there is somebody out there who would want to share these formulas with anybody for free, and i do not think that there is a website that also do this for free. so, the cheapest you can do is get a fengshui professional to do it for you for a fee.
on the other hand, you can always read what most western authors had concocted - their own version of fengshui, in which you only need to clean the room! that is easy, which most western people love to hear - free and easy! then put a windchime here and a mirror there, and everything will be fine.

Feng Shui is the art of achieving harmony and balance with one's surroundings. Based upon the philosophy of chi and natural energy, one can manipulate this science for personal aspirations such as: wealth, progress, career, romance, etc.
It is comprised of different disciplines (Eight Mansions, Flying Stars, Dragon Breath, etc.), they all revolve around calculations, logical rulings and the Five Element Cycles. It is a science that can be used regardless of religion, race or creed.

It's about the flow of energy through your home, and arranging things to maximixe the positive flow of energy.
Barnes & Nobles has all kinds of books on it, they even have a neat little kit in a box that they sell up by where the registers are that comes with stuff you'll need to make your home feng shui.

Feng shui is the study of location, placement and time.
It is a complicate study that takes time to learn.
However, you can find out some knowledge yourself.
