Since slimming my Ubersuggest key words list from the maximum 150 to 10
ive seen a huge uplift in impressions & rankings & traffic

Narrowing your focus intensifies your efforts --that's a form of optimization --a term that is commonly used here.

More is not necessarily better

Plan

• goal --> bank $500/week
• date --> hit goal in Q4
• platform --> 1 affiliate site
• industry --> home improvement

From the questions on work quality and bid prices I am seeing in reddit forums lately: There are more home improvement jobs then there are qualified contractors to do them (in the USA) right now.

So it is DEFINITELY not a buyers market right now and the odd-job hacks are still out there ...

Well, maybe there are people searching for better deals(bids) --if you get paid for those leads it may work. Who is going to buy that lead, from the affiliate network's pass-thru is not going to be your problem.

"data from the National Retail Federation (NRF) is that holiday sales in November and December have averaged about 19% of total retail sales over the last five years Winter Holiday FAQs" also see: Winter holidays historical highlights

Luxury or gift items v. more `evergreen` commodity items? Shoes, clothing, etc --this year --practical items? That depends I suppose on your targeted market segment.
