Affiliate startup question

[coolguythampy]

Hi,
I need help from you people. I am planning to go the affiliate route but cannot decide on the platform.
I have a PR 3 business blog with around 30 visits a day related to business.
I also have a web design site which is PR 1 and has been inactive for over 5 months.
Should I start off with a new domain for affiliate marketing tips, reviews etc or should I stick on with the present sites and blogs and work towards improving them? Will my readers expecting to see business news get disappointed by reading regular sales reviews?
In case of redesigning and using my web design site. Is it a good option? I do not work on that site and receives 200 visits a month. It is 6 months old.
In both cases the domains are no t related to affiliate or marketing. Should I start fresh or utilize the present situation?
Please help

I think what you should do is learn a little about affiliate marketing first.

One of the worst things you could do is start off in the 'internet/affiliate marketing/make money online' niche. Its much easier promoting stuff to people that have no idea what affiliate marketing is.

Find a niche and promote those products. When you have a little experience under your belt and making sales then you can try the make money online niche.

Too many people I find make this mistake and I admittedly did the same thing when I first started online 3 years ago.

Your domains and sites are just fine for affiliate marketing unless you are promoting affiliate marketing ebooks and products.

For your existing sites, you can promote products about offline business and ebooks, you can find great digital products at clickbank for that.

There are also lots of great affiliate programs related to web designs. That traffic of yours can flow off the sink if you haven't done any marketing on your site right now.

Research keywords related to your site and write articles about it and submit it article directories, that would keep you going to see results in a long run.
