The horror. The horrah. Another diary, another twat trying to ammuse the WF gaylords with his mumbling stumbling efforts to get money for nothing, clicks for free (c). I won't update this thread with mundane daily shit, I'll just log something topical and semi-important and see what kind of mockery you guys make out of it, after which I'll try to adjust accordingly.
Little introduction, to make this a bit more personal. I'm a Euro peasant who had couple of entrepreneurial efforts in his life, offline, each time ended up profitable yet always caved in to his inner bitch and went working for the man because everyone else did. I've spent my past 5 years working for one specific cunt who shafted my paperwork, and now because of that, every time I apply for a job I get asked questions that shouldn't be asked. But that's TL;DR story and it doesn't really matter here.
Recently I got picked up by this company that I really want to work for, UI/UX design is what I enjoy doing and I figured working with other creative folks won't hurt my career, I want to work in that kind of environment, for a while at least. But I have to do the "trial period" first, one month trial, and then 3 months probation, some shit like that. Fuckin pain in the ass. All of those things got me to think how dumb I am for always trying to put money into other people's pocket and how I'm scared to go out on a limb for myself.
That being said, my goal is to go down the Nung River of IM and see how far I can go. Since I'm living in a semi-Euro shithole-land, my last salary was $45 a day. So to keep things realistic, my first goal is to reach that level, $45 a day. Also, the bottom line is, I don't want to be a fucking errand boy for the rest of my life.

WHAT: website for affiliate sales, probably Amazon. With this site I think I'll pick up the ropes of how things work and I'll be able to build a long haul authority site later. But I won't do 2 things at once, I have enough problems with my AD4K as it is.
HOW: I saw some case studies where people made set-and-forget type of blogs with Amazon links, they all look spammy as hell to me but I guess the clicks roll in and sales get made, that's all that counts. I want to make something that will use Amazon affiliate links but make it look at least somewhat clean, legit and branded. I need to decide on the niche now.
I'm currently using demo Market Samurai to see what kind of niche I should go for. I'm down to single digits, only couple of niche candidates left, weeding out and should do in the next couple of days. I may be too picky about it, oh well.
When I choose the niche, that's my Nang river and I'm not going back, so I want to choose carefully.

QUESTIONS: since I don't have the answers, I ain't got the answers, I'll ask whatever I feel like asking regarding this topic. Feel free to help if you want to.
1. Looking in SEO competition tab for a certain keyword in Market Samurai, matrix looks greenish, but 7 out of 10 results are big name websites, like global multinational companies. Other results are reddit and famous fashion magazines. Is this a red flag? My demented logic tells me that these big brands are like behemoths, huge but slow and lazy and all over the place, niche-wise. But then again, I do talk out of my ass on this subject.
2. Do you think that I should choose my keywords that ask a question rather than ones that just describe the product?
Example: Faggette car wax. Is it better to go for "how to apply faggette car wax" keyword, or target the much broader "Faggette car wax" kw? My current opinion...it seems more logical to me to target the question, so when someone asks google for that question, my web will be the answer, and I'll have a visitor that has the "I need to find a solution" mindset. Which is good for selling...right? Or am I missing the point?
3. Is there an example of someone dodging the Amazon / Clickbank route, cutting the middleman? For example, have any of WF'ers broke deals with manufacturers and sold their products straight from the factory through their websites? Just curious. That seems like a lucrative thing to do once you have clicks coming in.
Too many cooks, that is all.

2009 accounts are for sale? Fuck me, where do I sell? Naw I'm kidding, I wouldn't give up my WF membership despite the dickrolls being exitable for long time now...
