Is there any market or subject I can write about and get approved fast?  list me whatever you can write
 
No. Nobody can give you a list of things you can write about, and there is nothing fast about AdSense.
 
The subject you write about should be one you can write about with authority - that you personally have skills or experience with. You shouldn't be culling the web to find your subjects.
 
in the other hand, I want to ask now about Affiliate which is as I know is not prohibited by AdSense or Google Search as well, 
but besides of AdSense if they approve me as soon as possible (let's hope so) 
And Affiliate, is there any other monetization method that I can add to my websites without having a fear from AdSense itself to close my account? For example: selling my books or products...is there anything else?
 
You can use any other way that doesn't violate AdSense policy if you plan to use them with AdSense. Other content (affiliate products/links, advertising, etc.) must meet the content policies for AdSense (ie: can't violate those) and no page with AdSense ads can have more affiliate links, products, or other ads than the amount of original content on your page.
 
If you plan to use other monetizing, it's the publisher's responsibility to read and know all the policies to prevent using something that violates policy.

It sounds like you are completely missing the point of Adsense!  What you are talking about is their definition of 'scraping'.  Finding a niche in the market on a topic you know nothing about is about the worst thing you can do.  What possible value could such content be if you have never been to a place you are writing about, and can't offer any personal experience, knowledge or opinion..???  
 
Adsense is for ORIGINAL content.  If you don't have anything that you personally are passionate about, and on which you can write from your own personal point of view, then you should forget about Adsense.

What Adsense wants is fully original content.  Buying other people's articles is likely to create duplicate content, and is pointless. 
 
If you are writing about a recipe you have used, then you should write in your own words, and explain what you did, which is unlikely to be the same as what anyone else did even if they made the same recipe.  You are likely to have your own variations, too.  
 
Having said that, it's very difficult to be approved with a recipe site nowadays, no matter how good it is, as there are already so many.

Don't you know if you wrote the information from your own knowledge? Or have you been buying articles?

Replying to the 1st section of your answer:

Well, I'm an SEO specialist, means I gather information from Google Search and create new different content but in the same field;
 for example: let's say that someone is talking about winter camping in Alaska and there's maybe 4000 articles in the public web talking about that ( those are just imaginal numbers: I'm not sure what's the exact articles), but this is not our subject, 

Well back to the topic,  like I said: I gather information and find the missing blanks and so on... I create a new rich-full content which is more likely the same idea of those previous articles ( ~4000) but in a new way and further pieces of information in..

The problem now is that whatever I do: the plagiarism check would be around 10-15% copied content which is not, 

for example: in this case, winter, let's say that a sentence would be: Alsaka Winter's is the worst season you'd camp in if you don't have the proper equipment like I said this is just an example, 

anyway, in different words: the sentences could be the same in whatever niche/market/subject but what to do!

Another example it just came up to my mind while writing these words, and it's about my cat, trust me my cat is here in the front of my PC and trying to type something like I'm doing, lol.

anyway, even if my cat goes to Google search and type something non-understandable more than 1000 result at least would appear in there, what I mean is what should I do: maybe 99.99% of knowledge that human looks for is there in google in a variety of words and different ways to talk about,

 I mean that could be a problem if google measures the duplicated content by static rules and Robots, and I'm sure they are not using that but using AI;

Like I said before I'm s SEO specialist and I got a lot of info in these fields and Tech field as well, anyway is there any info you guys want to add to my words? Excuse my bad English...

now replying to the 2nd section of your answer and it's about Recipes niche,
Yes I know there are plenty of websites if not millions talking about that in the public web and Tech as well like I see in your previous answers in other's questions

Anyway: I know that you guys tell that AdSense is not going to approve those kinds of websites blah blah blah...
like I said again, lol: I'm an SEO specialist and niches or making a lot of sites in any niche or market wouldn't be a problem to me, the problem here is the niche selection itself; 

I mean AdSense and sometimes Affiliate is the only way to monetize my website, in most cases I can't use Affiliate in those websites.

The question here is: Is there any market or subject I can write about and get approved fast? list me whatever you can write; even a 1000 issue/subject, I'll take them all, I'm so serious




in the other hand, I want to ask now about Affiliate which is as I know is not prohibited by AdSense or Google Search as well, 
but besides of AdSense if they approve me as soon as possible (let's hope so) 
And Affiliate, is there any other monetization method that I can add to my websites without having a fear from AdSense itself to close my account? For example: selling my books or products...is there anything else?


Well I talked a lot, and I hope you get the meaning of all what I have said 
and with that being said I hope you reply to all of my questions especially #2 & #3
and till the next time Adios Amigos :)

Thank you Kukana & Gracey for this juicy answers

replying to Kukana: Well, I should say you didn't get the meaning very clear of my purpose of writing
in those kinds of cases I don't write with my self, YES I BUY ARTICLES, but not any re-written article, I buy articles from experts in whatever the field would be, in another meaning: YES I ADD A VALUE AND BOOM BIG VALUE to the old Content, meaning that I don't copy and replace other words and say that I got an ORIGINAL CONTENT, well no one can do that
like I said even if my cat types something that no one can understand, at least 1000 result would appear in the search, and if we measure that as a first when selecting the ORIGINAL Content, there would be none...

For example: about Winter in Alaska, like i said for e.g: 4000 people are talking about that, but I try to add more value (my experts writers would do that) that doesn't exist in before, that's what Google Search looks for, and that's what I think AdSense looks for, I mean a new content, and that's what Advertisers their selves looks for
if I'm an advertiser, I'll look for a website that gathers further info and gives better value to people which they are more likely to click on my ads and buy my products, not just people that are distracted with a lot of misleading info or dispersed info in a lot of websites, 
This is what Google the company itself wants to give to the world, 
Google got a lot of services just to keep their customers happy and get whatever they want in a click of a button

Another example of duplicated Content in your opinion as I think: let's say there's a Phone's company called Apple, they create phones? Right? So there's no chance for any other company to get in this competition to create a new phone with different specs? Is that right? Is that even possible?
Well, there's an OS called Unix? Why we have to create an OS called Windows or Android or macOS? assuming that we already have the ORIGINAL one itself
it's like I'm yelling at you, trust me I'm not, I'm just clearing my idea and opinion

another thing I want to talk about and it's eCom website, eBay for example, well eBay add no value to the visitor unless they buy something, I mean they are not giving info to the world, but even so...they have AdSense on their website...not just eBay, there's a lot of sites like that
News magazine as well, they add no great value, and they all have the same news in, let's say that they are talking about crime in NY city, what they can add as a vale? Or how can they write uniquely? The answer is they won't and they can't...

meaning is there's no way to create new Content uniquely unless we're writing about our daily diary, lol...

here's what I do when creating Content: 
I do some research and for example, let's say a chicken recipe
Well I know that millions are talking about that in the Web but what I do is try to combine them in one article but in different words but in the same time I add other things, for e.g., I talk about Protein and pros of chicken food in winter and so on
in this case, I didn't just scrape the Content, I add more value to it and improve it to be better than the one that does exist

Here Google search would love to give me traffic because I add more value to visitors more than others or whatever who are talking about the topic (like I said: I don't write...my experts' writers do...so they can add the value that visitors are looking for)
and on the other hand, advertisers would likey bid more on my website because I attract more visitors then others do...

in this case, it's a win-win-win-win 
YES Four Wins
(WIN for the visitor who'd take a bunch of info on a silver plate and even more...the value that doesn't exist in my competitors' website,
WIN for me to get paid based on AdSense clicks,
WIN for the Advertiser him/her self because he put his ads in a place where it's more likely to sell(service/product)...
And a WIN for Google Adwords because they reach more costumers and drive traffic to their advertisers)


if we measure what you have said about the ORIGINAL Content AdSense would block most of the website in the Web
I mean: Let's say that for e.g., NYTimes are talking about the news? Okay, AdSense? Okay, Walid ...so we don't need ads to appear in the Guardian...
let's say that Buzzfeed has a section where they talk about Holywood, for example...
so we don't need viral nova to talk about Holywood because Buzzfeed already tells a lot about...
another example and its about educational website in my country, well I'm an Arabic person and most of the people here in my country don't understand English or German for example and let's say there's a physic or science theory that the ORIGINAL source is in the last two languages (English/German) would that be a problem if someone translate the theory and add his value as a teacher and give it to people in my country?
It's not the government problem that people don't understand English or German..nor me or AdSense or even the translator ...

I've written a journal...lol
But what I mean is there will be no one who can create the original Content anymore if we take this topic so serious...
there would be no AdSense anymore as I guess...but I'm pretty sure that the whole duplicated Content in your opinion is wrong like you said (  If you don't have anything that you personally are passionate about, and on which you can write from your own personal point of view, then you should forget about Adsense.)

well, anything you'd like to add to this discussion Madam Kukana please, 
like I said it's like I'm yelling at you while I'm not, trust me I'm respecting you and the time you give me to talk about this topic

Well, now Gracey; 
I don't think that I'd break the rules while I'm selling affiliate products or my owns...
and I'm so careful about anything I add to my website...thanks for the advice

Again I'm so excited to hear a reply from you guys
Thanks

There are millions of news aggregator sites which are all duplicate content and many display adsense ads.
Jul 11, 2019
To start, it is becoming incredibly hard to be approved for Adsense these days.  Upwards of 95 to 96 per cent of new applicants are declined. The demand for original, quality content stymies many "wanna be" publishers entering the game.
 
It is possible to see plenty of examples of "successful" AdSense sites that wouldn't be approved in 2019. Or, they were successful because they were truly first in the niche, and hence original.
 
You can't solve the "original content" problem by hiring writers -- at least the type of inexpensive writers you are probably seeking. Content writers/journalists that do their own research, conduct first-hand interviews, and truly explore topics with originality and depth don't come cheaply -- certainly not cheaply enough to be rewarded with the likely revenue from AdSense.
 
Legitimate news sites of course include material from other sources as well as their own reporters. But to be approved for AdSense these days, the bulk of the content must be original. (I worked a couple of years ago with a local publisher who provided much original writing, but also included a news wire feed on its website -- and that news wire was enough to get a "denial" when they tried to open an account.)
 
Perhaps, if you are serious about publishing, you should reframe your objectives from trying to get AdSense approval, to trying to build a viable, advertising supported business. In that, you would think more about the needs of the advertisers in your market, as well as your readers, and tailor your content and marketing to them. If your content is good and locally relevant, you'll make a whole lot more money with direct ad sales (and perhaps some affiliate offers) than with AdSense.  AdSense, at best, will be a top up for unsold inventory.)  
 
But think you are heading down a slippery slope for disappointment if you think you can solve the problem by having inexpensive "content writers" generate your "original" content. 
 
 
I run four websites, and about twelve blogs.  Two of the sites are monetised with Adsense, and I think three of the blogs currently.  I have written, over the past 20 or so years, thousands of pages or posts.  Never ONCE have I culled the Internet for ideas.  I'm a writer, not a plagiarist!  I might occasionally check a site for opening times, or prices, if I don't recall something.  Or if I'm writing a film review, I might check the names of actors.  But I would not DREAM of re-writing someone else's content. Nor have I ever bought someone else's articles.  What's the point??  If someone else writes good articles, they should run their own website, or write a book.  
 
You mentioned writing about a chicken recipe, for instance, and said:
 
"Well I know that millions are talking about that in the Web but what I do is try to combine them in one article but in different words but in the same time I add other things, for e.g., I talk about Protein and pros of chicken food in winter and so on"
 
What you have written is what Google calls 'scraping'.  
 
I have also written about chicken recipes.  Here's how I do it:  
 
First, I make a note of where I found the recipe (online or in a book) so I can cite the original.  Then I make the recipe myself, and take photos.  I maybe change one or two things - adding different spices, perhaps - but the first time I follow the recipe as far as I can.  If we really don't like it, then I'll forget about that and try something else.  But if we like the recipe, I'll jot down what I did, and what worked well.  For instance, I might make it in my slow-cooker (crockpot) instead of the oven.  Then I'll think what else I might do differently, and will try it again, a few weeks later, with other variations. 
 
Only when I've made and served a recipe myself at least twice do I consider writing about it on my recipe blog.  And only if it's at least somewhat different from the original.  I will explain in my own words what I did when making it, and if I had any problems with it, and I will also say what I served with it.  
 
That is the only way to make a recipe original, and potentially suitable for Adsense.
