Run a reseller store?

There are many different affiliate program's/Reseller panels. Some are free and others; you may need to purchase.
There are various ways to run these stores and many methods on how to manage them efficiently.
I have found that if you are nice to people and make good offers which you can keep to then, people come and recommend.

Looking at providing your own advertising services?

The ability to create your own advertising network is now indeed a reality. By bringing a series of content-connected blogs together into a single, vertical, "thematic" network, you have the opportunity of strengthening your authority and value by aggregating related high quality sources while maximizing potential revenue for you as well as for those you have invited to join the new network party.
Tightly-focused , high quality, niche content remains the key ingredient to any successful and profitable blog or news site. But as niches are little islands focusing on very specific aspects of a larger whole, the ability to identify and bring together closely related content sources to create "thematic" mini-networks is the next natural evolutionary step for online publishers of all sizes.
