This.
Years ago I launched a small blogging venture (nothing remotely miles and points related, and maybe calling it a "venture" is generous), so I sympathize - but for Pete's sake, don't give the blogosphere another "Maldives on points" post.
Your niche is not specific enough. Aim for a demographic or community of travelers, or focus on a type of travel, but it's got to be broader than just "helping the average joe", etc. - TPG, OMAAT, and all the rest have been doing that for years.
Hope it works out for you! Best of luck.
