I would try expired domains - the.domain.name is a great site to grab expired domains as they come up every day. It does searches on keywords so can find valuable industries related domains.
Low fees and can get a website created for them - they rebuild the old site so you can redirect the pages to a new designed website.

I know a lot of affiliate marketers - and am one myself. There are numerous affiliate conferences where you could find people to help. What exactly do you need?
