Yachting and Boating Niche
I have built a website yachtinglog.com which has a number of pages and posts in the yachting and boating niche.
However this niche is not one of the popular Internet marketing niches. As a result.there are few affiliate programs that give a reasonable payout. I am capable of writing good content but find it difficult to make a call to action that can be monetised.
There are a number of Amazon products that are related and I have made some videos as my own products. I am again having difficulty in monetising these products and have been considering a membership site.
I aim to keep searching for suitable affiliate programs but have some doubt as to whether tis niche is a good long term prospect

Hi !
One thing I am good at is feedback ( well sometimes , when my filter is on, :) jk) and if you want to hear mine maybe it can help.
So I went on your site and the first picture I saw was your header. It didn't speak to me of excitement or I want to learn more .
Me being a person that loves the ocean, lakes and boats. I think the banner needs to be a bit more attractive with a little bit of action to it rather than boats sitting at a dock in my personal opinion.
If you want to see what images attract audiences then try looking at Instagram and see what people are liking and commenting on, Id say go with the one with the most comments and then find an image that your able to use that is similar or direct message the person that took the picture if they would be willing to allow you to use their photo on your page or for a price.
Even on Instagram if you hashtag #boat or #yacht the ones with the most likes or comments , there is some type of action going on with the picture. Now whether its people having fun on it, posing or its attractive or moving in the water... whatever , just some type of action going on so that it sparks interest right away
Also I would suggest you change the layout of the site to where it has categories of topics that are easily accessible without having to scroll and the most relevant posts be at the beginning of the page. I saw glasses first and my interest thermometer started to decrease slowly.
I used to love looking for places to rent boats or yachts with friends when I had the money and people are looking for that , something eye catching , fun , entertaining
Maybe , do video tours of boats and yachts, or those 3d tours that real estate people do with houses but you do it with boats. and maybe have your main post that shows on your landing page be about boat and yacht rentals and being able to actually tour the boat prior to renting it . Our the best places to rent boats and yachts.
Maybe even a post about persuading the reader as to why they should rent a boat or yacht in their lifetime
Are you able to affiliate with these two affiliate programs?
