    Hi there, I want to open a shop and I am wondering where to start with products. I want to add affiliate tech products, such as the Ipad/iphones and any other tech products, even domain names if possible.

    Where is the best place to find good affiliate products which I can add to a store?

    Also are there any tips for being SEO friendy? Maybe having a blog for the shop or something?

    Thanks and God bless

    I can suggest you Amazon for affiliate program. Add your product into a shop and make a blog where you post reviews about the products you sell. Then do some SEO and advertising. That is a good start i think :)

    Have you already chosen a shopping cart software?

    There are many of them like: magento, zen & cube carts, OS commerce, prestashop, Miva order, etc.

    Be careful about adding affiliate links to your store, online stores are better suited if you have some sort of direct access to the goods and moreover, affiliate links would lead the visitor to another page unless you want to practice dropshipping.

    For affiliate products I suggest http://www.pricetapestry.com/

    It allows you to easily create a niche store price comparison website based on what affiliate feeds.

    i think the best place to start is in choosing who you will work with, like prince said, there are many program out there that can b used, i am currently trying a new one named izzonet, it looks pretty good, they say they have some very nice features for later down the hall, the marketing side of things, i will report findings if you wish.
