Introducing Build A Niche Store!

 When you hear “eBay” and “money” in the same sentence
you probably think of becoming an eBay seller …

Well I have a surprise for you because it’s the eBay affiliate program that’s taking the web by storm at the moment and a great program called ” Build A Niche Store ” (or BANS as it’s nicknamed). This program enables you to really dig in and profit from eBay’s huge marketplace … without actually selling a thing. That’s right … no watching auctions, no answering bidder questions, no inventory, no packing, no shipping … let me explain.

 Build A Niche Store (BANS)

BANS is a product that helps us quickly and easily set up niche stores that showcase products that are currently up for sale on eBay. Our job is to simply research the niches we are interested in and to promote our stores … because we already know eBay will do their job … sell the products! They are the world’s largest online marketplace and they’re willing to pay us for driving buyers to their site. BANS is a valuable tool that allows us to set up niche stores quickly and easily … and I’m grateful I found BANS.

What is a BANS Store

The BANS product helps us build website stores that showcase products that are for sale on eBay. Through our admin area of our site we enter an eBay category number (or numbers) and/or search terms for the product that we want in our stores. The program is designed to instantly search eBay and fill our store pages with all of the products on auction that match our search criteria. This gives us a store full of links to these auctions. We are showcasing other people’s inventory and we help them by referring new buyers to their products.

I believe in treating others as I’d like to be treated so let me fill in some detail about the program and explain what it would take for you to get started with your BANS business.

How It All Works

There is no charge to get started with the eBay affiliate program and it’s fairly simple to learn about. As I mentioned, eBay will pay us to send buyers to their site. eBay provides us with an affiliate ID for tracking purposes. When we set up our BANS stores we enter our affiliate ID in the space provided and BANS will magically insert our affiliate tracking code into all of the auctions that are listed on our site. That way when someone clicks on any of the links in our stores eBay will know that we’ve sent that person to eBay’s site.

What Are They Paying Us For

We can get paid a commission by eBay two different ways. One way is when someone clicks on one of our affiliate links we will get paid a commission for ANYTHING this person buys on eBay for the next 7 days. eBay tracks and stores the “cookie” (identification) from our visitor’s computer for 7 days and tracks anything they purchase back to us. We get paid 50% of what eBay charges the seller to list and sell the item on eBay. For instance, if an item sells for $100.00 and if eBay charges the seller $5.00 in listing and end of auction fees … we get paid $2.50 for sending the buyer to them.

The other way we get paid is by sending brand new users to eBay. If someone follows one of our links and registers for eBay’s site (free and easy for them) and then they either place a bid or purchase using eBay’s “Buy It Now” feature … we get paid $25.00. This “cookie” tracking is for 30 days from the time they click through our link.

Drive Traffic ~ Make Money

So our job is to drive traffic to eBay. Plain and simple. The more people who click through our links, the more people who register … and the more people who bid and buy stuff … which means commission for us. I am very good at driving traffic to my sites and I will teach you how to drive traffic to your sites too.

What You Need to Get Started

BANS Product

You will purchase the BANS program for $97.00. It is a one-time fee and you can create an unlimited number of stores with this purchase. It will also give you access to the most helpful and active forum I’ve ever seen for product assistance. I am an affiliate for the BANS product so if you purchase it through my link please contact me right away. I have some very helpful bonuses for you that will help you get started successfully. I made tons of mistakes when I got started so you might as well learn from MY mistakes and do this the right way.

Domain Name and Hosting

You will also need a domain name and webhosting. Again, I’m an affiliate for what I believe to be the in the industry for these products. So, if you’d be willing to use my links for these products … I will thank you by helping you get everything set up and running smoothly.

A domain name will cost you about 10 bucks a year and hosting will cost you about 10 bucks a month. This type of hosting package will allow you to add an unlimited number of stores to the same account too. The idea here is to build several stores and grow your own portfolio of money making eBay affiliate websites.

Promote Your Stores

Once we have you all set up it’s time to start promoting your affiliate stores. This is where I really shine and I can help you learn how to do the same. I use mostly free methods and that’s what I suggest you do too to get started. I have paid for some of my web promotion tools and I can tell you more about them after you get the hang of everything. Some have more than paid for themselves and others I wished I’d passed on … live and learn. I won’t ever recommend anything that I don’t totally believe in … and that’s a promise.

See Some Sample Stores

Go to the BANS site now so you can see some sample stores and get a little better idea of how the product works. After you purchase your BANS product remember to shoot me an email. If you used my links I will get those bonuses out to you as promised and I can help you with your set up if you need me.

Meanwhile, please let me know if you have any questions … I’d love to help in any way I can. *SmiLes* Suzanne

    Suzanne.. I have seen you on the BANS foum and I have a question for you regarding social networking:

    Presuming you have more than one store, do you enter all of your stores on each of the social network sites?

  4. admin June 18, 2008 3:51 pm

    Hi Rick ~ Right now I have 3 stores. I’m not exactly sure what you mean by “enter” all my stores so I’ll take a guess. ;)

    I don’t list any of my stores in my profile so if that’s what you mean, than no.

    I have submitted each store to some of the sites and then I will submit blog entries from my blogs with links to various pages of my sites. I don’t believe I’ve ever submitted inside store pages to social sites …

    I have had great success using a separate blog, writing blog posts regarding things in my stores, and then submitting those posts.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Hope that helps and let me know if you have any more questions. *SmiLes* Suzanne

    This is basically what I was asking. If you have three stores, do you list all 3 in Qassia for example.

    Nice post on BANS there, youve written it well. I personally am in love with BANS and think everyone should have their own store in their own specialist niche. Why not? Passive income is the best type of income and we all could do with a little subsidy couldnt we :)
