BANS Earnings May and June 2009

It’s that time … time for me to update you on my BANS (Build a Niche Store) and EPN (eBay Partner Network – eBay’s affiliate program) profits. I last shared my earnings for February, March and April so let’s take a look at May and June of 2009.
(Click image to see larger image)
My May earnings were $480.64 and my June earnings were $530.64. During both of those months my ACRU (commissions for bringing in new eBay registered users) were only at $28/per … so that was disappointing … but I’m back up to $40/per this month so hopefully I’ll have a good month. I just want to restate that I have not done any work on my sites in several months (possibly a year) … so the beauty of these stores is that if you do the “work” in the beginning and build a solid foundation with choosing a good niche, good SEO, and content for the site they can provide you with a consistent income for years to come.
I also went back and checked my stats and my average income for this year has been right around $530 per month.
I know I could be making much more with my EPN earnings but I’ve been very distracted this year planning our destination wedding and I just wasn’t as money motivated as I could be. LOL. But I will say that I now have the “travel bug” and I’m much more money motivated and look forward to ramping up my niche store earnings. *SmiLes* Suzanne
Do you build niche stores? What kind? Are you making any money? What are your biggest challenges? Do you have any advice? Do you have any questions for me? Let us hear from you below in the comments.
P.S. I just purchased the new guide, “The Number 1 Way to Make Money Online,” and it’s got a lot of great information in it on how to build eBay niche stores from start to finish. I will be going back and revisiting all of my existing stores and making some changes and then I will be adding at least 5 new stores to my portfolio over the next couple of months.
Glad you're here! I wrote my first eBook, "Blogging Idol Secrets Revealed," and it's my FREE gift for those who supported me in the Blogging Idol competition (and for my new online friends too LOL).
Go download it and learn how I drove new visitors and grew my RSS subscribers by over 800% ... in 30 days flat! Let me know what you think of the book ok?

That is some nice earnings for those two networks. Keep up the great work. I haven’t done any BANS sites, but I would like to do it one of these days. Thanks Greg Ellison

I would suggest that everyone who wants to get into BANS pay close attention to the information that Suzanne is teaching in her bootcamp. If you don’t you may find yourself with a niche site that would not produce. Good Job Suzanne!

Haven’t started these sites yet (have started a lot of other sites though). It is great to hear that earnings are up and I am sure you’re right that putting in some effort and focus could ramp it up even more.

Hi Suzanne
This is my first visit to your blog, I didn’t realize you had one before. I’ve seen you around the BANS forum though.
I have been building niche stores for a few years now, around 3 or so, and I love the new guide from A & K. There are lots of tips and tricks inside which I haven’t been using on my own stores and also the mindset they adopt is slightly different and refreshing. I too will be adding around 5-10 stores to my EPN portfolio over the next 8-12 weeks.
Good luck with the EPN earnings.
Ben

Hey Suzanne, I’m so bummed, I missed the introductory rate. However, on the upside, I managed to get a few emails about writing content for some of the BANs site owners in their forum.
Maybe with the revenue I can go ahead and get the ebook.

Hey Suzanne, had my own photo blog these last 6 months Leeds Photography
, truthfully in part because of the help your blog gives to relative newbies like me.
Whilst these figures are not great they do show that the foundations are what counts!

Now I`m definitely interested in niche stores. The idea of earning money when you`re on a vacation is to appealing.

Suzanne,
It sounds like you are havng fun with your niche stores and not letting it rule your life. I just go into the BANs Bug three months ago, and I know now that is tough to do. I’ll keep you in mind as I struggle along.

Hey Suzanne,
I liked the spirit of sharing the details ( especially when it comes to income) & I think those numbers are good considering your situations in your life. I am sure you would do magic this time.

Thanks and Best Wishes!

I would love to see some examples of BANS stores (besides the golf club one I keep coming across) – does anyone have any examples of profitable stores? I’m thinking about getting started, but would really like to see them in ‘real’ time …
Also, Suzanne, would you say that ‘the number 1 way to make money online’ and your bonuses would be enough information to help someone (a beginner, like myself) really build a successful BANS?
Thanks!
