what's your process for creating a website for affiliate marketing?

pick the niche by checking what's actually buyable first, not what you like writing about. then cheap domain, wordpress, a light fast theme, and get 10-15 posts written before you fuss over design. comparison and 'best x for y' posts are where the money is, but mix in plain how-to posts so it doesn't read like a coupon site. put the affiliate disclosure up on day one.
