Nah, affiliate programs are good for mainstream. For example, sell Amazon products, or BestBuy products, or whatever. Just don't let the people buying it know that.

You have to do your research, and find something that isn't too saturated, and you think you'll be able to get good SERP. People need all sorts of shit, so anything & everything. Then put up some sites, contract out to the Phillippines to get articles written, and your site updated with fresh content. If you manage to get in the top 5 positions in Google for search terms, you'll make some sales. Then rinse & repeat a few hundred times over.

Or just sell leads. Put up some of those "Enter your e-mail & zip to win a free plasma TV" sites. Sell the leads for say $0.80 each, advertise via PPC for say $0.12 per click, and you'll probably get a 60 - 70% conversion ratio.

Start an online food delivery site for your city / state / country, and partner with all the restarants in the area. Charge a per-listing fee, and hype up your site as the next big thing. Create a commission based sales force to do the selling for you.

There's loads of shit you can do...
