Affiliate Marketing Secrets

HI all
Im looking to start my own ebay business but i dont want to start buying massive wholesale joblots of stuff to start with. Im looking to start of small and try to order maybe a few things of each different product just to see which one slls more and continue in that direction.
I have already found a niche that i want to be in, its kind of based on what my job is, I know people personally in this field and also have a bit off experience installing them , so i feel that i do know enough about the products and how they work to try and make this happen , it also gives me an added advantage as i can have two different selling fields.
Does anyone know some sites online where i can sign up and find prices. I can get trade prices from wholesalers in my local area , but i want to pay what they pay, not what thier mark up is.
My niche is electrical parts , components , cable , I can also sub contract the work with various people i know and supply the materials on a cost price basis , to maybe earn some money of the installation itself.
cheers

Ok, so i want to write something that people will enjoy, maybe a novella or a novel but before i continue, can someone give me some feedback for my first chapter. It is a little short but I just want feedback on my writing style and what i should include, not grammar and spelling mistakes. Here it is:
It took so long, but I finally found one. A seat on the tram. As I sit there, I watch 100’s upon 100’s of people getting on and off. They were commuters, tourists, students and everyone in between. The sound of the tram bells are intoxicating, you really get a feel for the Melbourne culture, they are something unique to Melbourne. As my hands delve deep into my pockets, I realize that I only have $50 to spend. That is not nearly enough to buy new clothes at the shopping centre. Looks like Nathaniel and I will have to spend it at the markets. As I patiently wait to see him bored the tram, all I have to do is to look out the window and see the beauty a city has to offer, street art, buildings and parks. The minutes that pass feel like an eternity as I anxiously wait for Nathaniel. Finally after 5 minutes, he is there.
“Where have you been? I have been waiting for you for ages.” I said.
“Sorry” he replied, “My mum had me do a few things before I left home and it took me 20 minutes to walk to the city.”
It was such a relief to see him. Just the thought that something had happened to him would’ve devastated me.
“I only have $50 to spend so I think that we should go to the markets instead, I can’t buy new clothes and then buy food as well. Sorry” I added.
As Nathaniel and I walked through the streets and alleyways, he began to look at me with a smile, and then let out a giggle.
“What? What is it?” I asked.
“Nothing Ryan, I just…….. never mind” he laughed.
I knew that something was different about him that day. Something that I could never have put my finger on, it was too hard to work out what it was, until he told me.
As we slowly walked through the market stalls, we finally found a place to rest and have a meal. “You know how you were looking at me and then started to laugh a while ago” I said.
“Yer” he replied. “What about it?”
I continued “Well, what was that all about? It’s not really like you. Is there something wrong?”
“Well actually, nothing’s wrong, it’s just that there is something that I really should talk about but I am a little scared to.”
When he said those words, I was jumping ecstatically on the inside, but I kept a poker face on the outside. What could it have been? If he was looking at me and then laughed and he thinks that he should talk about it, then it concerns me. What if it’s good thing? All of these thought ran through my mind and it was making me excited. I had no idea what he was going to say, but from what I know, it’s about him and me.
“It’s OK” I replied “you can tell me anything, I’m your best friend, your secret is kept with me. I promise. Just tell me”
“I want to but it is so difficult to. You don’t know what I am going through.” He grunted. “It is so hard for me to understand all of this, let alone talking to you about it. Just please stop with the questions.”
I knew that something was bothering Nathaniel. I am his friend, and a friend should always look out for other friends. Nathaniel and I have been close to each other for more than 5 years. This was something that he would never do. He would tell me anything, even if I had nothing to do with it. Him not wanting me to know something is not a part of his persona.
“You know what, I Have to go now. My mum wants me home by 3pm.” Nathaniel quickly uttered. He left the table and then rushed out of the markets and left. Something was bothering him immensely, and I have to help, but if I don’t know what it is, then how?

must you do?

My husband and I have been together (living together) for 5 years and have been married a bit under a year. We are full partners, love each other deeply, and couldn’t be more happy. Except for one thing. We both want a baby, super badly. But there are layers to this problem, this biggest being the age gap between my us. I am 23. My husband is 39. This does not and has not ever bothered us. We are great together. The thing is, that if I were married to a younger man, I think I would probably put off having a child for a bit longer. I will be graduating in the fall with a BFA in studio art. I wish very much to become an illustrator (children’s books). But my husband already knows that he will be an “old dad”, especially compared to me. To add another layer (!), he was previously married, and had a child…for a few hours. The baby died hours after being born, and if anything, this strengthened the intensity of his desire to be a father. He lost that little boy, and I would do anything to give him a child to love. But I’m afraid. I’ve heard everything from “there’s no right time to have a baby, you just do it” to “if you have a baby, kiss your dreams goodbye!”. Not to mention that I am a feminist, and I feel that I will be seen as stupid for choosing to have a child at a young age before establishing my career. We aren’t rich. He is currently building a small business that is gaining attention in a niche market as well as attempting to enter law school and become a child and youth advocate in the court systems. We both for minimum wage to put ourselves through school. But, again, I’ve heard that if you wait for the “right” time financially to have a child, you’ll never feel safe doing it. But, the pressure is on due to my husband’s age, and I want a family with him very badly. I’m a born researcher. I have looked into birthing plans, expenses, parenting techniques. I am not the sort to go into something wimbly-nimbly.
So I guess I just need opinions from experienced parents. Yes, I would like to have a perfect salary, home, career, etc… before having a child. But I also know that that might take a decade that frankly, my husband does not have to give, to achieve those goals. And we both come from poor family backgrounds, so at least we know it can be done. We will be the first college graduates from our families. We are striving for the lives our parents did not have. So yeah. Opinions?
Bonus: Any considerations of parenthood that you wished you’d known before becoming a parent?
