Hi Pixie,

Good you've been reading the newbie forum and keeping record of ideas. Smaller niches (but ones that have some demand) are strongly recommended when you are brand new. It's extremely important IMHO for affiliates to see early results or they give up.

In general forums are tough to monetize. I've heard many forum owners say that. People are there to chat not buy. However I would think some forums could work if they focus on certain markets. Like a Mom forum that advertises baby products and toys.

Forums are also very tricky to run and moderate. I love this forum and we are lucky to have so many awesome members, but in every forum you have to deal with spammers, scammers and flamers too.
