moomycow - That's great to hear. The more specific the better we can help you plan your attack. Quick suggestion: make your title tag more descriptive. "Cowsic - Reviews of up and coming bands" or something. Also, if you're the type of person to go gung-ho writing one day, then skip it for a few days, then set your posts to publish over the course of a few days.
Randstrom - Unless you are just offer testing, it's not a good idea to build a site around an offer, rather build the offers around your site. So, the brainstorming should go like this:
- Come up with a list of potential niches
- Research said niches
- keyword research
- competitive analysis
- SWOT analysis
- Determine how you plan to promote / market your site
- PPC
- Banners
- Links
- SEO
- and so on
- Get your domain / hosting
- Build your site
- Promote it
- Track it
- web analytics
- affiliate statistics
- Test and Tweak
- etc...
