What to do with these?

Afternoon Folks,

I'm new to the IM industry and have been studying it for the past two months now, hours a day. I've been researching videos, blogs, and tons of articles to learn the terminology, strategies, techniques, just about anything i can get my hands on. Now i'm ready to pursue this en-devour and try my hand at affiliate marketing.

First i bought two domains PartTimeProfitOnline.com and FreeMerchandiseReport.com. Now i'm not sure on which direction to take these.

With PartTimeProfitOnline.com i wanted to start a blog style setup where as i am a beginner in the industry i would keep track of all i do and come across in the industry and track what i use and what works and what doesnt. And in the mits of it all try to add a few affiliate links to the blog if i could on things i have come across or used.

With FreeMerchandiseReview.com i wanted to do...whatelse....product reviews for things i think are worthy, useful, and could be profitable to other affiliates.

So my questions that i would like to know from yall is the following:

Should I link the two sites together and work off of one another or run them seperately?

Does this setup work or is it overplayed?

Is this a good setup to go with or should i switch to a different direction?

I appreciate any info on your opinions

Thanks.
