Hi,
I just started doing pullups and found some info on the net saying it's better to work on pullups every other day.

Pullups are so hard!

At least one day of rest between: some people may need more, depending on recovery ability (ie: as you get older, you might find you need more recovery time).

Thanks, I was thinking at least one day in between. They are very tough, but I wanna do one!!!

Have you tried negatives? You kind of assist yourself with a bench or step on the way up, then slowly return unassisted to the start position / hanging position. I couldn't do pull ups either, but someone at my gym suggested these and it really helped. Good Luck!
