I've been promoting mostly mainstream niches on a $35 per signup sponsor and I do ok with them.

I found this microniche 50/50 rev share that been an easy sell, usually around 1:100 and retains a little above average, but since it's a microniche theres not a lot of traffic for it.

My ROI for promoting mainstream stuff is about 300% and my ROI for the microniche is about 3000%. But I make more money with the mainstream because it has a much bigger audience and because there aren't many places to advertise the microniche.

So should I keep doing what I'm doing, focus on whats bringing me the most money and continue pushing the microniche lightly, or should I take a big risk and ditch the mainstream and promote the microniche like crazy and hope it works?

I mean I look at people like Quiet, Marc De and Lensman and they make money because they sell popular sites that have the biggest audience.
I think you have to keep up your mainstream stuff and find EXTRA time to work the micro niche. Like most micro niches, it will probably cool in time and you don't want to lose focus on the mainstream stuff and then have to start over when the micro niche slows.
If you spend 10 hours a day working now, work 11 hours and spend that extra hour on the micro.
mainstream porn has been making money forever, don't abandon it.
