Earnings / Profits for My BANS eBay EPN Niche Stores – May, June, July and August 2010

by on September 7, 2010

It’s that time again where I share my EPN (eBay Partner Network) earnings with you and I’ve been about the same for this time period (with the exception of last month which was up slightly).

The newest numbers are:

May $660.12

June $691.61

July $576.91

August $798.90

I don’t have much to report since I haven’t added any new stores and haven’t done any advertising or new promoting for the sites.

The one thing I did do is I paid my favorite graphics gal, Chrissy – Christa Jensen Designs, to give each site a makeover with new headers and to update the color scheme. Some of these sites looked horrible before so I’m certain it was worth every penny to have this done. I know it will increase the time spent on my sites and I believe it will also improve my click through rates (thus more profit for me).

I still have people asking me if they should do a BANS (Build a Niche Store) business and that’s hard for me to answer. There are a lot of products out now to assist you with setting up niche affiliate stores and I’m not sure BANS is a place I would start.

As an alternative you might consider your own information product. In fact, I am getting ready to launch my first ever information product (an eBook in one of my non-internet marketing niches) and I can’t wait to get it to market. If you’ve been interested in possibly doing your own information product you should check out The Info Product Model. It’s from the guys who started BANS so it’s top quality information for a very low price (under $100 bucks during the launch period – I wish it had been available when I started this process *sigh*).

Sorry I’ve been laying low on the blog here but that eBook has been taking up most all of my time and I think it’s going to do very well for my business. I’ll keep you posted once I get it to market and then I can share the process I used … what works and what I would change to do over again. Hope you’ve been well and let me hear from you below! *SmiLes* Suzanne

Im jealous. I wish I had those numbers coming in every month. It’s a nice little passive income you built up there.

Congratulations keep up the hard work. I’m thinking your going to crack $1000 in a month pretty soon

Hey thanks Chris … do you have any niche sites? If so, how are they doing? Can I help with something? ;)

I envy that stats. How long did it take you to achieve that amount passively? and through how many sites? I’m actually getting much interested with EPN now, thanks to you LOL. I’m more into clickbank and amazon these past few months (on my personal blog), and it really is hard to compete with those who have already established their money pages.

Regards,
Jason

PS: sorry, if I ask too much :)

Hi Jason ~ I’ve been doing niche sites for a few years and my earnings have been pretty steady (with some variance when eBay has changed their payout structure). Are your sites true “niche” sites? Does each site focus on only one product line? How far down do you drill for your keywords? For me that’s been key and I’m happy to help you if you want to shoot me an email. I do a little bit with Clickbank and Amazon but not a whole lot these days. Let me know how I can help … sometimes you just need to make some minor tweaks to make a huge difference. *huGs* S

You inspired me to work fast.

Suzanne September 13, 2010 at 8:11 am

For me it really depends on your niche. I like to choose products that are something people will spend their money on … for instance my son did a site on corn snakes and although he’s done great SEO and comes up #1 for all of his terms it’s a lot of kids doing research and they don’t have MONEY to buy anything so lesson learned there LOL. eBay is definitely one way but don’t forget to look at all options: PepperJam, Clickbank, Amazon, etc. and don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.

This is impressive. I have never tried the ebay partner network. I have been using amazon for a long time now, and i have had results close to yours, but not on a regular basis. I may add this to my site along with the amazon and see if i get a little more.

How does it work? Arent the ebay products always changing?
