Setbacks can lead to greater opportunities.

I wouldn't even really consider this a setback, because now that I dipped my feet in the river of affiliate marketing, I am ready to start a new site.
My first site was strictly about dividend investing for beginners, and I made it to 9 articles before realizing that 4 of them were essentially repeating the same things with the words switched around, and I was out of ideas. There is only so much to talk about with a strategy that specific, and simply for beginners.
I know that Wealthy Affiliate stresses to keep a specific niche, but when I work it in my mind the only logical option for me to have consistent, well thought-out, quality posts for a long time is to broaden my niche. I am going to be covering a number of different types of investments through different articles, and will cover different business ideas that I have been interested in. I already have 4 unpublished articles, 1 published article, and about 20 different article ideas that I came up with right off the bat that I can create with no repition and much easier than repeating the same material.

I am trying this method because I see it as the most logical way for me personally to approach affiliate marketing and driving traffic to my blog.
During my first semester at my military college, I was under a lot of pressure and forgot about affiliate marketing, which also distracted me. I need a niche that I can jump into and make articles fairly easily. This second semester won't be as bad, and can certainly find time to pour into making quality investment and business articles.
I will upload a lot of quality articles, and I just need a couple to be successful in order to be satisfied! I expect to upload between 70-90 articles this year. I am spacing them out to upload once every 4-5 days, being realistic. I am hoping that the website will be competitive on Google by 2021.
And if it doesn't work, I'll try a different strategy! That's the point of business. They aren't failures or setbacks, they are simply lessons that you have learned. They give you a different perspective on how to approach it the next time.
Could I get some opinions from my fellow marketers?
