Start with a small amount of quality content, that will get signups. Pick a couple of niches and once you have the volume get a merchant account.

Do step one and you'll make 3 - 4 times what you would have made as an affiliate, add step two and it'll be 5 - 6 times within 6 months to 1 year.

Pick 3 or 4 niches and start 1 or 2 quality sites for each one, update as often as possible with quality content and if you're reasonable at SEO you'll have a decent income if you work at it.
