I agree that it is easier to generate website content in a niche that you know. Problem is the business of affiliate marketing is about making money. So i would edit that by saying that you should pick a niche that you know which is profitable.
You can also pick a niche that you do not know but are interested in. Doing research for this would be a thrill because you are genuinely interested in the topic.
I personally have built websites in niches that i didn't know a lot about but wanted to know about. The process of researching content, useful content, for the sites was for me exciting and highly motivating.
The problem i think is a lot of newbies feel that they have to be experts from the start before they venture into a niche. This is not necessarily true. You can be sure though that by the time you get your website up, you will be an expert on the relevant topic
Just my two cents
