Great ideas!
Although both ideas are winners, I would go with your second idea. You can put together a web-site/ blog. The best way to understand how to do this is to visit johnchow.com. I have no tie to him other than his site inspired me to get started making $$$ on-line through blogging. In a nut shell if you blog quality information and update it regularly traffic will flow to your site. You can monetize the site by working w/ affiliates and selling advertising. Read all of John's info and check out how much he makes blogging, it is serious money.He has a free downloadable e-book with instructions on how to get started. You do not need to charge visitors anything, the ads and affiliates pay you as visitors click through their ads.

Good luck!
