Keywords are at the foundation of every PPC, SEO, and article marketing campaign. I know personal affiliates making 6 figures a month just with PPC alone. But like all business models you need to start small and build your way up.
Many newbie affiliates fail here. They go to some popular keyword software that spits out the same keywords that everyone else is using copy and paste. Spend some time thinking of keyword groups and ideas. Take a whole afternoon and brainstorm. You will be surprised and what you may come up with.
Come up with themes, these will be your ad groups. Within each theme you will go deep and wide to find related keywords. Here are some ideas for keyword 'themes':
beats
instrumentals
rap
sequencer
hip hop
songs
music production
famous rappers
recording
etc ...
