Affiliate Marketing Secrets

So my fiance and I were looking into starting an online business – probably some niche in electronics. But to the bottom line, I was wondering is it legal to post items on your own website and then have them shipped from somewhere else. Example: A customer visits my site and purchases an HDTV. I do not have an inventory – so when the customer makes the purchase can I order it from another company (Sam’s Club, Best Buy, etc..) and have it shipped to the customers address? My fiance says yes, but I don’t think it can be done that easily.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Preferably someone with experience. Thanks in advance.

I am going to set up a website in affiliate niche. Who tell me how I can find a website design company that provides cheap website design? Thanks in advance.

I’m a sales manager for independent authorized AT&T dealer for direct sales where I hire my sales reps as a 1099 and they get paid on a commission basis.
I have a rep who recently started with me who quit another office where he did the same thing. The problem is the previous company is stating he signed a contract where he could not worth with any AT&T affiliated companies for 1 year within a 100 mile radius or else they would sue him.
It seems like a complete scare tactic to avoid competition swiping up disgruntled workers. In my understanding the only legal way this could be done is if the company compensates the former worker for the time stating he cannot work for another company and if he does, then he is subjected to being taken to court in violation of the money compensated to him for agreeing to do so.
Does anyone have any knowledge on this? He’s a young smart guy and it seems he’s just being bullied.
Also, if it is wrong is there any legal action that can be taken against the other company?
Thanks in advance!

I was already convinced to join his course- but still want to get somemore proof, hence asking here. . some if his students are commenting in youtube or the names amd pictures are posted on his website . . Pls share your experience. Is it really worth to try or really useful course to start an online store? I want to sell women’s clothings, but Im worry what kind of niche he will suggest me. He’s in US and I was in Hong Kong- his course is really applicable?
Thanks in advance.

In Tim Ferriss’s prescription for creating a business in the 4 Hour Workweek, he advises finding a market first, then making a product for them.
I have followed the steps in the book and identified a few niches I could market to. For each niche I have found several small trade magazines. So far, so good.
The problem is, after contacting the ad directors at a few of these magazines (to ask for back issues and their current rate card), they all hit me with a barrage of questions like “what’s your product URL?” and “what is your product?”
This is a catch-22, because I want to validate the magazine before I come up with a product idea, let alone launch a website.
What do I tell these folks? Has anyone here created a muse successfully following Ferriss’s steps in the 4 Hour Workweek? What’s the best way to ask for this information when you DON’T EVEN HAVE A PRODUCT ?
Thanks in advance!
