Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Is it just any forms of entertainment (like movies, TV, music, etc) that are mainstream and commonly liked? Whereas there are indies that are more for a niche audience?

I’d like to start a blog, not to make money, but to organise my writing and to make it accessible to a larger audience. I am aware that I need to narrow down my blog topic so as to be able to market it effectively. I would like to write about current affairs and prominent issues in politics, law and technology. Is this too broad a niche?
I’m thinking the following sorts of posts:
– Opinion pieces
– xyz subject explained: e.g. something in the news put into context and explained simply
– Personal life columns: light-hearted, off-topic posts about things I encounter in my life
– Tech how-tos/guides

My professor assigned us this thing where we have to come up with an idea for a new channel. here are the details…

“Most cable networks do not attempt to reach a mass audience as the traditional broadcast networks do. The cable networks are content to attract only segments of the population who seek specialized or niche programming. Rock music fans have their networks; country music fans have theirs; travelers have theirs; and movie buffs have TNT, AMC, Encore and many others. On many receivers, you have channels for business, cartoons, comedy, cowboy movies, documentaries, nature shows, sci-fi, etc., etc.
Your assignment is to develop a new cable network that will launch nationwide starting in July 2013. IMPORTANT: Your network should NOT offer programming seen on existing networks. Originate your own lineup of shows. Minimum: 3 daytime shows. 3 primetime shows. You don’t have to talk about plotlines and provide character development in describing these shows. Concern yourself with themes or types of programming. Give us titles. You may NOT steal programming, including reruns, from any existing network.
Prepare a 5- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation of the proposed network. Who is the target audience for this program? A key element of this conceptualization is to identify the network’s TARGET AUDIENCE and potential advertisers for its programming. Get to the point. Highlight only the most interesting aspects of the new network. Entertain us.”

So, I had some ideas…. BUT THERE ALREADY ON AIR! everything i think of is taken. For instance a LGBT channel, a horror channel, a art shopping channel… ect. Thing is that i have never had cable or dish tv, so i have basically no clue of what is already on.
So, any ideas?

The vast majority of my audience are free users. That kept in mind, I need a affiliate program that would offer me commission just for getting users, signing up for their website to become a member of their website and no purchase required from there and the affiliate getting commission for each member that signs up. Being a affiliate for a social network or driving new members to a social network, would be ideal, but really any affiliate program that would offer commission for any new members who sign up to the website. Know of any affiliate programs like that?

Hello, yahoo contributors. I have a question that will question my shallowness. I am interested in how much work does it take to monetize a blog.
To rule it out, I’m talking 500 $ a month. This is.. let’s say, my top goal. My question really comes down to numbers. How much money do pay-per-click ads generate? How much money do banners generate? I know this all comes to traffic, but how much traffic should I have to be able to cash out 500 bucks a month? I know a successful blog comes down to a niche, to passion, to quality content. But the only thing I care about right now is dough. Being smart, as I consider myself to be, I know I could to this. I have no problem in writing low class material that would bring stupid audience and no principles when it comes down to this.
Please don’t judge me, I’m not really like this (you can ask my girlfriend, she knows I’m awesome), but this is the truth when it comes to this particular case. I would appreciate it if you could help me (again, what I’m looking for are numbers).
Thank you.
