Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Me and my brother are starting a house/flat lettings agency. We are aiming to target a niche market, the DSS, pets, etc property hunter.
Currently I work as an insurance broker, as such I have a good knowledge of financial obligations that we will need to fulfill.
Really I am only looking for any additional advice that anybody may have, such things as approaching potential landlords, getting them to accept DSS, etc.
Thank you in advance!
(please, no off putting replies, I have decided on the nature of the company and have no doubts about what I am going to aim to accept)

I have an overstock of Swix Glacier wax and I am trying to find the niche market that wants it.

I’ve come up with the idea of creating a social network, with the niche market being cyclists.
The idea being not to pull people away from existing social networks such as Facebook but still providing additional tools that your basic forums don’t cover.
I am hoping to get some views before I begin writing any code, as there isn’t much point if it isn’t going to get a good reception from the end user.
The social network shall have your standard, underlying features such as the ability to connect with existing and new friends who share a similar interest in cycling, whether it be your average commute or a full time sports interest.
You shall then have additional tools such as the ability to share routes you have done, rate routes that others have posted (enjoyment, difficulty etc.) and keep track of your progress such as miles and performance.
Other potential features include the possibility of creating groups (such as local cycling clubs) and events which you can share with your friends or make them public and invite other members of the community along.
There would obviously be privacy concerns, which is why no Personally Identifiable Information would be collected however this shouldn’t impede the service as you will still be able to share the content.
What do you think, does it have potential? I was thinking that students could play a big part in the market, especially with commutes which you may make.
Thanks for any feedback, not too much information… just in case 😛

So, I want to buy another gaming laptop. I’m coming off of an Asus G53SW, which was brilliant except for the power pin which kept breaking. Eventually, it got way too frustrating to RMA my laptop so much so I decided to get another one.
My minimum specifications are as follows :
Core i7
8 GB RAM
nVidia 660 or higher
500 GB HDD (I don’t mind not having an SSD)
The laptop must be well built and mustn’t break as easily as the Asus did
It should also not be too heavy because I tend to change workplaces. It doesn’t need to be ultraportable. Just enough to carry it to another building without tiring me out. 14-15 inch laptops are usually fine.
My current choices with all the associated thought processes are as follows :
1. Alienware M14x – It’s small, pretty powerful for its size, is known for really good build quality (and also has a power connector that’d be very hard to break through daily use lol) and, let’s admit, looks really pretty. The problem is that the screen isn’t 1080p, it has a slightly weaker GPU than usual and is kind of pricey.
2. Sager NP9130 – I hadn’t heard of these guys for a long time, and I know they serve a very niche market, which is why I’m slightly unsure about buying from them because I don’t know much about the overall build quality of these laptops. However, they pack a brilliant punch in their laptops.
3. MSi GE60 – This one seems like a really good option too. It’s the cheapest of the lot, and still packs a massive punch in a pretty good package. However, people have raised issues about it’s build quality. It also happens to use the same power connector as the Asus I’m leaving.
Any help and suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance!

I created my blog around four months ago and it is based on specific period in film history – a niche market but not too narrow. I have a few followers, post three times a week and around 50 to 100 page-views a day. I actively follow other similar blogs and comment on them. My blog has since stagnated with its growth, mainly, of comments/ followers/ page views. If anyone can give me tips to get my blog going again, that would be great!!!

Basically, I have discovered a niche market in which I think profitability will be extremely high. However, the products themselves are sold and distributed by another company, although they only retain distribution warehouses and their products aren’t sold in supermarkets- so I am curious as to whether I am get their products and ask supermarkets to sell them?
