I'm a new member to the forum so hoping I can get some useful advice. I have adept experience with online marketing as i have been involved with it before..Just made too many mistakes as a beginner and ended up falling off. Now that i am trying to make my way back into the field i wish i still had all my content but oh well..

Basically i need help getting my feet in the door with what i want to be doing. If i have ideas for niche markets/topics i need to know how to implement them properly so im not just starting another blog with no idea where to begin or how to take proper action. Anyone can start a blank slate blog and post an article about something they like but that creates no engagement.

Ive read through many of the articles on ClickNewz and as many of you probably have, gone through a few training modules. Ive done my brainstorming exercises and attempted keyword searches (unfortunately wordtracker is no longer free any suggestions with the same info WT provides??) and need to figure out that first step and direction into driving my interests into markets.

Simplistically put; I dont know where to begin with creating an affiliate market around my topics/niches/interests. There are always 100 different resources revolving around the same topics on how to do this that explain it in only a sightly different way. I may be overthinking and over analyzing my steps but this is always the most frustrating part of jumping back in to me..

If anyone could reply with successful steps they took to get up and running with examples of how they did so that would be great. There is a lot that goes into getting a site noticed and ranked other than just posting. Ide like to get started right away but want to do this right this time.
