Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m opening an affiliate site, where i advertise music products for some extra $$ aside from that im going to be putting up all kinds of production, photography, art, music, video etc. 
anyways, what do you think of the banner i made? Comments, suggestions etc, anything will be much obliged
and no i did not put wording over a pre made template, i made it from scratch

hi basically im thinking of applying to uni but i dont really have a niche subject. so if i wanted to do a course because im interested in the subject for e.g, then would i be ok to have no prior knowledge. i am aware there will be students that will know more. any experiences of people going into a course blind and learning what they need to know there.
i hope this made some sort of sense lol

I have been selling my designs (household products) on my website for the last 3 years. I have had these products made in China in the past but my existing supplier has now ceased trading. I do not wish to continue starting from scratch with another chinese firm and considered closing down business. But I still have a valuable site which has had extensive SEO investment and ranks in the top 5 pages on google for several keywords and we still get decent traffic daily. Rather than let the site go to waste I was considering selling other companies products through an affiliate program which looks like a genuine e-commerce site rather than a ‘trashy pay per click’ link-redirect site which sends people to other companies sites. Does anyone know of a good affiliate scheme that allows businesses to select and choose products and sell whilst using the suppliers e-commerce software or source code to embed into the our website.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!

When u are starting from scratch? Like facebook,etc? I dont know how much the business would make but it fixes a common ~niche~ i can say Millions of Dollers? Who would u consult or do? Fundraising is an option what else? Its a Interntet business?

So I have a large scratch on my car door…
These people will come up to me at the gas station or get my attention when I’m at a red light and ask me if I want them to repair it. It’s happened to me close to 10 times in the past few months. And they seem to be all sorts of people, some drive crappy beat-up trucks, and some drive fairly new, nice SUV’s.
What’s the deal with this? Are they all affiliated or could it really be that there are just tons of people out there randomly doing the same thing?
The reason I ask is because it happens so often and each one has the same pitch — also, I can’t find anything online about this. There has to be something online about it!! Is it some sort of scam? It always reminds me of the people who try to sell you crappy stereos “for a fraction of the cost since their manager needs them to get rid of it”.

Trying to penetrate the Phoenix market.
It takes about 8hrs to make a hat. Yarn isn’t expensive nor is all the other tools it takes, but it consumes a lot of time. I have sold them from $50 and under. So many people have complained about the price, that they didn’t buy it.
I’ve read Free by Chris Anderson and he talks about how free items get people to buy more. However, it takes so long to make the product that I cant afford to give them away. My competition is usually China made products that sell for 5 to 15 dollars at lower quality. How do I market my hats that are made from scratch, costs tons of time and sweat. Make a profit. Is there a business model for this sort of niche? I want to get away from just friends and family. Any suggestions are helpful because I want to pursue this full time.
