I do!
(i wish...)
One way to find products to pitch is to log into CJ.com. Sort advertisers by highest EPC and highest network earnings. Note the advertisers and products. Then type those results into Google/Yahoo and see how they're being sold.
Dont want to sound bragging but FYI i and beleive many here do much more than that! .
Yep... but only in adult products.
Not true, at least for me. I don't have any sites that I would be ashamed to show to a 5 year old.
Sex sells, sunshine.
If anyone would care to venture some guesses, I'd love to hear it. Or, in other words, can I hear of a specific product (that perhaps you don't compete in) that would fall in the high price/high commission category?
Changes with seasons. LCD TVs were pretty good for us, netting about 10.25% for example.
I know someone else who is doing well with snowblowers and space heaters.
The first week of January is huge for dating sites.
The second week of January - end of January is big for flowers, chocolates, diamond rings etc.

Is it best to have a site dedicated to one product -- say, snowblowers -- or a "catch-all" site that focuses on new products as they become popular?
are you refering to building a website, or working with the PPC/Adwords straight to merchant?

website. My site is a useful tool for certain group of people.
I spend less than $100/month in PPC now. I don't think PPC to merchant worth my time spending on. I would rather build a merchant datafeed site with a ok domain name, if lucky enough, I may grab some return users.
over $1300/day from one single website!? Out of curiosity how much traffic do you get?
Depends on your business plan and abilities.
Catch all sites have the ability to cross and upsell and can bring in huge amounts of traffic. A good example of this is Shopping.com.
Single purpose sites have the ability to focus in on a single niche and do very well in their specific niches. A good example of this is PDABuyersGuide.Com.
The key to both these models is to maintain focus on your business goals and not loose sight of your abilities.
Both these models have worked for a lot of people.
Find out what works for you, do you want a pricing comparision, a reviews site, a classifieds marketplace, forums? Do you want single merchant, multiple merchants?
I tend to prefer a model that requires planning. I might look at an affiliate niche for months before I can come up with an idea on how to integrate it in my portfolio. Many on the other hand test the program the second they signup by using PPC, I have never been able to figure out how that works.

It's great to see that even the great don't have(or need) all the answers.
But due to the saturation going on in my market I think I may be going back to how I was last year... what to do next?
New feilds = new learning and testing that could result in losses of thousands... big risk there unless you have a partner, which I don't have :-(
I don't think anyone doing AM full time got there by having a risk averse attitude.
