Yes Progress!!! I am super excited and motivated!

Hello fellow warriors. Let me start of by saying that I am not new to marketing as I do a lot of offline marketing with local businesses and have a few other online ventures that bring me in some decent money. In the spirit of trying to bring in some different income streams I want to try my hand at affiliate marketing and even selling my own product eventually.
Why am I excited you ask? Well I spent all day yesterday it seemed using Market Samurai and a few other keyword tool looking for a nice niche. Seemed I would never find one. Yes I found many that seemed ok, but nothing that stood out to me. So this morning I woke up determined to make some more progress. Well I think I have found a nice niche that I can compete in.
1. I have found about 11 keyword phrases that have to do with my niche topic. All together they get about 45,000 searches monthly, all SEOC under 180,000. Of these I found about 5 that are really really nice with low competition under 50,000 SEOC and still about 20,000 searches monthly.
2.I have found my affiliate product that I want to promote.


Now My steps are:

1.Create my landing page (Squeeze Page) that still soft sells and collects information then directs to my affiliates sales page.
2.Start to market my niche:
-Article Marketing: I plan to do about 8 -10 quality content articles per day. Do I need to actually do this many article daily on each keyword phrase? Man that is a lot.
I plan to manually submit to the main 3 or 4 article directories- EZinearticle, goarticles, etc. T hen use article distribution software for the rest. Is this a bad idea?
-Video Marketing: Will use distribution software to upload my video's to all the various video sites: Youtube etc.
-Start building backlinks to my landing page. I have a lot of work and research to do here. Social book marking sites I presume.
3.Stay focused and try to analyze what is working and what is not with this project. Once all is going well find a new niche and rinse and repeat.

Please feel free to critique or let me know if I am missing anything. Like I said I know I am just in the beginning stages of this project still but I am fired up to have found a nice niche and product (So I think). And wanted to post to see if anyone disagrees with my plan or has any valuable input?
Thanks,
Matt

    Seems like a good plan, and great starting point.

    You are right, staying focused is an important part, and so is Not getting distracted too much.

    You have the first part sorted- you have a plan. Now start following it, and your efforts will pay off.

    Looks like a good plan. One suggestion: wait for EZA to accept your articles before submitting them to the other article directories if you're submitting the articles without making any changes in them.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    Thanks Dennis. That is great advice. Especially for someone new to article submission. Why is that so important if I may ask? Once manually submitted to the top 3 or 4 directories do you see any issues with using a distribution software to mass submit to the rest? Would submitting the same article hurt me?
