Affiliate Marketing Secrets

My university has recently started pushing students into an area that me and my girlfriend are near experts in, and we’ve noticed a big hole or niche that we think we could successfully fill while giving a lot of benefit to students very cheaply, I know there are private businesses on campus like 7-11, Wendy’s, Java City etc. and I was just wondering what would be the proper channels to go through if I wanted to make it happen? I’ve got quite a bit of money that I could invest, so that shouldn’t be an issue. This also isn’t something that could be done in a classroom so I don’t think the it’s going to be seen as competition or seen in a negative way by the school.
