Budding wine marketer with some concerns

I'm just getting into affiliate marketing and I'm determined to market wine; it's my passion, it is a market that I can easily be competitive in, I've found several promising keywords, and it is something I could develop regular content about without going insane. I'm not looking to get rich quick, but I would like to be able to turn marketing into a full-time income over the next few years. I've already found several wine clubs that look promising, and I'm researching them now to see if they are something I feel comfortable promoting. Magazines also look promising for a little extra income. Once I get a good list together, maybe I could even find some travel-related affiliate programs.


Under the advice of some of my friends that have already gotten into marketing, I checked Clickbank. At first I was disappointed. I didn't really see anything that thrilled me. Then it dawned on me that maybe that just means I need to create the sort of products that would thrill me. I would prefer to do video ecourses to writing ebooks, but the problem is my appearance. I look much, much younger than I am. I'm worried that a guy that still gets carded might not come off as an expert on video. There is a little David Ogilvy on my shoulder telling me that "content is king" and I should just do the videos without worrying about that, but there is another part of me that thinks I should either stick to writing the ebook or hire someone else to do the videos. What do you guys think? Is the inner critic something to be largely ignored, or an important guiding light?

Also, do you know of any products that you would personally suggest? If so, I'd like you to email me a link. I'm new to the affiliate thing, but I understand that some programs have second tier earnings, and I wouldn't want you to miss out on that.
