Affiliate marketing is a tough business when you're in a niche with tons of competition. Due to my own experience (as an employee at a company, not self-employed), the best case scenario is a model that harnesses your own portals and products that ultimately generates leads for other brands/clients. But that's easier said than done with a team of one in a short period of time -- you really need a good deal of systems in place to get into the higher margin game.
