Please help me

Hello everyone. I have been around this forum for about a month now, and been browsing it ever since, so I am not really a new user. Anywho,I am new to the whole affiliate marketing, and adwords advertising technique. Ever since a year ago, i've been wanting to do something big, to work hard and earn some money to be able to pay my bills. I came over many websites, like the rich jerk, or google cash, trying to sell their e-book for $50+, but I was able to get them from torrent download.. I read them, and now I understand how adwords works, and the CPC, and budget, and the bid amount. I have registered with clickbank, but I don't know what niches are good to invest in? I have been through their whole market of affiliate programs (business to business, business to computer, fitness, etc.) But there is just too much competition for most of the things. For example there are so many people who have adwords for downloading music, or becoming rich. I have my own domain, but I do not know what I should do. I am very confused, after reading maybe 4-5 of all these guidelines to making 30k+ a month.. Please, any help would be highly appreciated.

Today after searching the "music download" market, I finally put up an adword for it, with about 460 keywords to help get some clicks. I put the cost per click for the ad to about 0.85, and set my daily budget to 10 dollars. Now the keywords I had used were not too general, but after 5 hours I had reached my limit. So I went to my clickbank account to see if I had gotten any sales but it still says $0.00 I thought that this would be a good market to put an adword for, but that's not what it looks. I had advertised for hotmp3music dot com/ since they offered a good commission. I have gone through the clickbank market place so many times, and I still can't find anything that really interests me... I really need some help, someone who could teach me the tricks, or help me learn and not make the mistakes they have made when they started like me.

No better experience than learning in action. So far you have spent $10 and decided you are foiled. I woudl say read a lot more of SEOChat, so far you have about 1 hour on the Forum and that is not much.

There is a great Affilaite section, I spent a lot of time lookign at that. At the end of the day you need to find something you cna get excited about.

Contact the manager to the program you are promoting and seek guidance from them. Reselling another person's product is not easy, because you have limited margin, but it is a good begining step because a lot fo the work is done for you.

Keep up the work and do not get discouraged so easily.

I'd suggest creating a website on a subject which you have a strong interest in and building quality content which can gain traffic through SEO as well as AdWords, rather than concentrating on the get rich quick affiliate schemes.

It's less likely to be able to make a substantial profit advertising affiliates these days as AdWords reduces the quality scores which increases your bid and also because of the amount of competition.
