Feeling a little discouraged..
Since I'm not just going to be selling one specific item, I'm gonna be selling (eventually) a huge variety of things, how does that work with keywords and content? I don't know, I need some serious assistance, and I only have a few hours each day to work on this stuff, until the weekends anyway, and by the time I get on I feel like Kyle and/or Carson aren't available anymore and neither are most of the more experienced full-time members. So I guess I'll just post this tonight and hopefully I'll get some responses by the time I'm off work tomorrow =/
If you wanna see what I have on my site so far, feel free to look. allthingsgreen.siterubix.com
It's not much yet, and I'm really determined to make it work, I just need help.

What Kyle said is spot on. There comes a time when you feel overwhelmed with the amount of things that need to be done. Break the huge tasks down into little parts. Take a look at the WAbinars. Jay did two series on getting started.
Here are a few that will help.

And of course my training on writing articles. These can be content on your site or articles to help you drive traffic on the Article Directories.

Thanks so much! I will get to watching those WAbinars as soon as I can =] I really appreciate the help and input!
Also, a lot of people are searching for different types of green items. Lime green, mint green, neon green, etc. You can tackle all of these pockets of keyword as well. I have a good technique that I use for uncovering an unbelievable amount of keywords:
http://www.jaaxy.com/blog/alphabet-soup-the-most-comprehensive-keyword-research-technique/
Make a list of 10 green items and then write about them. Do a bit of keyword research on them. Here are some things that I quickly came up with:
-green leaf wall art (under 20 competition)
-lime green abstract art (under 100 competition)
-green furniture (67 competition)
-green painted furniture (19 competition)
-green bedroom furniture (51 competition)
-blue green baby bedding (91 competition)
The one thing that you need to be careful about is that green is also used for "eco friendly" so don't confuse a lot of the keywords for these instead of the color.
People that succeed online or offline push harder when they get discouraged. Those that fail give up...just remember that. This is your tipping point and if you can overcome times like this that seem a bit overwhelming, you will be able to achieve any level of success that you want. :)
Thanks so much I will definitely look into those. One thing I was kind of confused on the process I guess. So I do the keyword research, type up an article/page about the good ones, and then later I'll add Amazon and other products to my site?
Yeah, find keywords and then write about those topics on your site "informing' people about the topic. Then you can incorporate promotions (affiliate) or you can incorporate adsense onto your site.
You can write about difficulties about find a green case, you can also write about iphone cases in general. go to google alerts, make an alerts for "green ipone case" "iphone cases" and yes use quotes, this way articles about cases posted on the net will be sent to your email. Join some forums, search iphone case + forum. Learn why people want green cases, only because it's their favorite color? Maybe. Learn why people want things, people want things for different reasons. Find these different reasons and make write articles about these reasons. Find information in forums and even articles related to your product, read the article and comments left in the article, read what people are saying and why they want something, dig deep into their brains even if that don't come straight out and say it in their comments
If you're going to be selling A lot of things your will need A lot of content . Its ok, I do the same thing.
I know, I guess I just don't know how to start with the content.. like say the first thing I want to sell is a variety of green iphone 4 cases or something. Do I just write up a whole page about iphone 4 cases and how difficult it is to find decent styled green ones?

I agree with Kyle as well. Take one topic at the time, say green leaf wall art that Kyle suggested :).
Write a blog post about green leaf wall art. This can be a review site, "10 coolest green leaf wall art" and then you link each product to their merchant site.
Let us know if you need more help,

Thanks for the input! I appreciate it! =D
