If you want to be in this for the long haul, you really need to have some concrete plans in place, and CB is just one of the pieces of the puzzle.
Read some entrepreneurship books or a business plan book if you need some ideas.
Else the folks in this forum have always been real helpful.

Excellent points, Andrew.
And be prepared to fail with some products. That was one of my biggest fears, but the reality is that not all campaigns are always going to work, so don't let that discourage you. Plus,
testing is an absolute must.
It's always wonderful to come across someone new to internet and affiliate marketing, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and ready to go, but then the reality that
it's real work (at least, at first) sets in and suddenly the walls come crumbling down and suddenly, it's all just a scam. LOL
While we're on the topic of good books on business, I'd like to offer a few suggestions:
The e-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber (Easy reading, lovely style, and great info.)
Super Affiliate Handbook by Rosalind Gardner (Classic IMO. Printed it at Kinko's and still refer to it from time to time.)
The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. (Okay, not a business book, but a darn good book on how to write clearly and concisely -- a skill you'll need if you want to succeed in this business.)
There are plenty of others, but I'd love to hear some other suggestions as well -- or maybe I should start a new thread?
