Advice needed for cheap room treatment picture included

Alright looking for a little advice on treating my room. It will not be used for recording vocals or anything, just for making beats for the most part. I attached a diagram I made of my room and where the desk is and everything. I'm looking for the most effective cheap method, whether I build it myself or I buy something I'd like to keep the cost under $100. Thanks.

The following advice is free, not even $100.

Your setup needs to be symmetrical. See this:

How to set up a room

This will cost a bit for the materials:

Then add corner bass traps and absorber panels at the side-wall and ceiling reflection points. That room looks pretty small, so you will probably benefit from more treatment on the rear wall behind you too.

What would you recommend I buy, and where from? I looked into that article and read the two articles about the reflection free zone and how to set up a room. So I guess I should get something for the wall to the right of me, something for the corner behind me, and maybe the wall to? Anyways what would be the cheapest way I could go about this, are there any sellers on ebay that sell some decent quality cheap foam or bass traps?

From what I can tell from your drawing, it's probably best to move the desk so it faces the right wall. Put absorbers on the walls between you and the monitors and in the corners. Forget foam, it's too expensive and won't help bass. Honestly, $100 won't get you very far so your best bet is to make your own traps. Check out what other people have done here for ideas.

I would put it on that wall, but the thing is that all the bedrooms in my house are behind that wall. I'll look into making some, thanks.
