Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m not sure i did a correct choice, but i quited my job and started my online business. I feel stressed now, i just don’t know how to get started. Can someone kindly help me for the first step, how to find a niche?

Hello. I have been stressing myself out with starting a business. I keep coming across different approaches to make money online, but I can’t choose one. I might end up making niche websites and putting ads and affiliate marketing online.
The real issue is, I’ve come across so many things that say I can make six figures a year, that my mind now says I will make six figures a year, when I’m a teen.
Should I worry about starting this business, or should I worry about getting good grades to have a good job after college that will pay six figures? Is this online business thing going anywhere?

Before i start, please give this question some thought to what it is i want (best answer will be rewarded)
I want some good business ideas for making money online with out relying on search engines and affiliates in the future!
I am thinking on a large scale and of course over many years and a lot of time and money spent to get this really big.
What i mean is:
Relying on search engines and affiliate programs at first to grow the business of course. But I don’t want to rely on any affiliate programs like AdSense for my income nor the search engines forever, i want to be able to forget about them and have a online business that stands on its own 2 feet.
Some might say search engines with PPC, they are good, but this is not what i want to start, the competition is at the top.
Having my own PPC ads is something worth having a look at, like Facebook, it is not a search engine, but they do have PPC ads and Facebook don’t need search engines for users or any affiliates for their income.
So any ideas? even if they take a long time to get established, I am not looking to make any quick money or any decent money for few years, I am in it for the long run.
Thanks for reading my long winded question.

Hello Fellow Yahoo Members:
I just listen to a lengthy sales pitch from a gent by the name of Brian Bailey. It appears that he is the founder/creator of this work from home web business: homerevenuesystem.com
I would love to hear from those who have experience with this individual and his business. Is it legit? He is offering a 365 days money back guarantee for those who do not make money with his system.
This appears to be affiliate marketing, because he showed a clickbank earnings report. The one time cost for joining is $97, but if one try to leave the main web page, one is prompt and can get the one time cost drop to $49.99. Please, I would love to get some feed back on this. Thanks

I am having terrible trouble selling my ebook Celebrity Ghost Stories. I have done everything to promote it: put it on the front page of my true ghost stories site (which gets over 1000 new visitors every day!), mentioned it in relevant blogs and forums, promoted it on Myebook.com. Yet despite all this, I haven’t sold one single copy/1
Could it be that the paranormal ebook business is not a very profitable one? Should I pick another niche?
Huh, so much for all those who say that selling ebooks is a lucrative business!

Admittedly I’ve no experience in business at all, but the idea of having your own business – being your own boss – sounds an appealing one. How do you come up with a decent idea, though? Is it all about looking for a niche market or doing something established already? Are there any surefire prospects or is it all hit and miss? Anything worth trying?
Thanks.
