Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Can anyone help figure out some ideas? Could doing something simple as blogging about politics but to niche type of base maybe catch on to make money?
I’ve thought about selling wholesale on Amazon and Ebay but that doesn’t seem worth doing on my own and I’m working with a cousins company that does it and probably make more than if I did it myself.
Of course no one would give ideas that they would use themselves but I wonder if anyone can maybe throw some ideas on things I can really try from home that might might have potential.
I’m considering going back to college for business but admittingly if I can do something from home that could help others as well I would.
Any ideas would really be appreciated and I might delete this thread by tommorow so other people don’t take ideas from this topic.
Thanks !

Thank you for reading this question and attempting to answer my query.
I did my graduation, completed my BHM, bachelor’s degree in Hotel management, in year 2007, from an IHM, affiliated to PUSA, NCHMCT. after completion i got a job as a normal steward in Oberoi group of hotels and resorts, where i gave my best efforts and became supervisor in 3 years. After completing around 4 years with the organization, i thought of exploring other properties, luckily i got two offers too. I was on the same level of Supervisor/ Team leader, from Leading group of hotels, Leela, and other was an executive, a level above supervisor, with carlson group of hotels, in the same city. i opted for Leela, as its a big brand, and joined , but somehow was not able to work longer, as found the work environment, and working style, and the amount of work/stress too much, also met with an accident during that period, which made my mind to quit from that hotel. I realized later it was a hasty and quick decision. I was jobless for a month, during which i tried to change my industry, but somehow, also got an offer from another 5*hotel, where i got selected as an ASSISTANT RESTAURANT MANAGER, which gave me some satisfaction. I joined that hotel, and was able to sustain myself and survive, with the operations of FOOD and BEVERAGE. This hotel has again got busy operations, with very very difficult clientele. clientele, who cribs and cries / complaints for discounts, becomes fussy, thinking anticipation of hospitality with utmost flexibility in hotel norms and policies, tries to take uneven advantage. Working in such environment after being an ARM also, i worked for around 14 hours, minimum. i hardly got time for my personal life/family, its time only on off days which i spend with them.
I have resigned from my employer, and its almost three months now, that i am sitting ideal. I have been looking for opportunities, and have got selected twice again in two different hotel brands, i tried to join the hotel industry again but was unable to keep myself satisfied, as the industry remains the same with the same work style, and more of fatigue and pain, less time for your own self. Its around six different different hotels i have seen, and always found myself not enjoying this work for the long run/ lifetime. I am looking for job oppurtunities in sales& marketing as i have done distance study from symbiosis pune, PGDBA in Marketing management. If anything else i can opt for please guide me .
I am looking for jobs nowadays, and trying to find out some good opportunity. I would be highly obliged, for some useful guidance from you all. Please help me.
Also if anywhere i can approach for any guidance and some1 can provide me with the useful details, i will be very thankful.
regards..

English Riders answer please! I have been riding for several years, and I am experienced. I want to make it into a professional field, but I want an opinion on what point in your riding career would you be considered a “Pro”. Thanks my fellow horse lovers :3

Where I am now. I have currently achieved my masters in chemistry while working towards my phd the last two and a half years. I have finished the synopsis and proposal (half-way examinations for the phd degree) and I will have about another two to two and a half years until I earn a phd.
I have been looking ahead in terms of what I want out of life and my career. I desire job security just as much as everyone else. I believe that the job security I long for is just a pipe dream for researchers in general. Relatively few tenure track positions are available in science and from what I hear it is not a rare occurrence to have over 250 applications for a single job in what is supposedly a niche field. This job competition will exist regardless of the situation of the global economy and to a great degree has made research unattractive(quantity over quality is rewarded.) I have enjoyed teaching while being a teaching assistant(running general chemistry labs and Q&A sessions with undergraduate students) and I have a “gift” for presenting information.
My coworkers urge me to continue in research and tell me I would make a great researcher(this being their gut response) in my field or any field I choose to migrate towards after my phd. The qualities mentioned by my coworkers were:
Problem solver
Care/dedication for the science and project at hand (quality research not quantity)
Willingness/eagerness to learn
Effective or “gifted” communicator
The questions that I really want answered are:
Which is the more viable career move? phd in chemistry or dual masters chemistry/education
Would I be able to teach multiple subjects(beyond chemistry) with only minors in the fields?
If I had the phd would I be overqualified for teaching positions at a high school level?
Could I get a job in management with my chemistry phd? Other non-conventional careers?
As an undergraduate I had my B.S. in chemistry with minors in physics and mathematics.
A masters in education is another two to two and a half year long program unless courses are carried over from my chemistry masters.
Current age is 25 as of Feb. 2013
Currently I am being paid to continue my phd research versus a masters in education would require me to pay to stay in the program.
Currently have a number of publications.

I’m currently dissatisfied with my major and want to change it.
My strong subjects are English and History, average with Science, and terrible with Math (especially calculus), but I’m good with trig and algebra. I have an outside talent for art, but I personally don’t believe it’s strong enough to take to a professional level.
My personal interests include mainly video games and film, but I want to make it clear that I don’t intend to get a job that is heavily involved in or dependent on either industry. I want to have a career that I actually have a good chance of getting and keeping a job in, and would prefer something broad as opposed to niche.
Based on my strengths and personal industries what should I major in?
(I did post a similar question earlier, but I was too wordy and specific, so here this is)
