According to Debby Wolfie, a home gardener (Real Simple), you can begin by using a starter plant instead of planting from seeds. Planting seeds is indeed much cheaper, but they require special soil conditions to germinate and grow. Starting with a starter plant is a little cost more, but the chances of your herb growing successfully are higher.
Plant what you need and keep it manageable

There are so many varieties of herbs. However, think about what herbs you really need, both for flavoring and garnishing food, for medical purposes. Especially, if you only have limited space, start by planting 2 or 3 herbs that you might use often. The more used, the more manageable your herb gardening will be.
Use well-drainage soil

Herbs like moist, well drainage soil. Some herbs don't like compost-rich soil or even wet soil. They will make the herbs grow badly or not even grow at all.
A little fertilization

When planting herbs, give fertilization not too much. More fertilization will indeed make the leaves grow a lot, but with low quality.
Location for herb garden
The location of the herb garden is something you may have to think about first. Most herbs like sunny spots, some herbs can even thrive with 6 or more hours in full sun. Place the herb gardening in a spot that is easy for you to see and pick up. If you consider indoor herb gardening, place the herbs in the bright light of a south-facing window.
