A properly structured survey will yields tons of information about what people in that niche are thinking and give you some great insight for effective keywords. Another way to get to know and *own* a niche is to do a successful product launch. If it's well done, the launch will build your list, increase awareness, build alliances w/ partners and put you in a position of authority. It can also give you insight on who else has authority in that niche based on how effectively they can market your product to their list.

I didn't had much success with affiliate marketing when I started out. I tried the basics of picking a merchant, doing PPC, etc. I'm still not good at that. However, what I realized was that I didn't need to. I built a site for a niche that I know really well via a hobby of mine, and discovered eBay actually sold a lot of relevant things for my niche. I combined the two and BAM, my first affiliate success. Just had my first $100 day two days ago actually. Now I'm working on redesigning the site and find that I am able to give very specific direction to my designer because I know the tastes of the community in my niche. I'm also adding functionality that they will like and since eBay is hurting these days, I'm looking to expand my monetization strategies to include selling ad space to people who are on Etsy (since Etsy STILL doesn't have an affiliate program!) since my knowledge of the niche led me to discover that thats where many in my niche were moving their businesses to. Niche knowledge is everything. You can outsource the rest ;) Dead on. I didn’t had much success with affiliate marketing when I started out.
