What is the best way to make use and monetize Ebay? Enter BANS aka Build A Niche Store.
What is Build a Niche Store?
Build a Niche Store is a website package that allows you to create a full, turnkey website featuring Ebay products. The package uses data feeds that will continue to keep the pricing and items up to date and live on your website.
All you need to do is set the website template up, customize it and drive traffic to it. Drive enough targeted traffic, and you get sales.
There are basically 3 ways you can make money with a BANS or Build a Nice Store Website. You can make sales and get Ebay Commissions, get people to sign up to the Ebay and make a commission off the new member, or you can have ads on the website like Google adsense, and make money when people click on those ads.
Your best bet is to get people to buy or sign up as members of Ebay, but you can use the ads as a way to minimize or at least get some kind of revenue is no sale is to be made.
What Comes with a Build a Niche Store Purchase?
When you purchase, you get the downloads and templates for building your own websites, an installation manual, and a user manual. You also get access to the Build a Niche Store user Forum, a place for all users to get questions asked and help each other.
The software and templates are yours forever once you purchase, and access to the forum is lifetime.
Who is Build a Niche Store For?
Really, the software and templates provided with a BANS purchase can be used by novice to advanced. Even a beginner can get a website up and running…although it may take longer if this is your first go around.
You should be familiar with minor html code, web domains, and FTP or File Transfer Protocal, as you will be creating the templates and uploading them to a web host.
You will also need to create your own (or buy) a nice web banner.
What was my experience with the Build A Niche Store Software?
For my first Build a niche Store website, it took me about 2 hours to create and have it up and running. I had some minor difficulty at first and had to refer back to the manual a few times when I got stuck.
I did take hours to create the banner. I was new to image creation, so that is where I got hung up a little…I really wanted my banner to look good.
After setting the color palette, and adding content (important as you want to make sure your website is content rich-articles, resources, etc.) My site was up and ready to go.
What I am doing now, and continue to do is off page SEO (the manual gives good instructions on doing the on page SEO to attract the Search Engine Bots)
My Recommendation?
This is a great tool to make use of Ebay sales, and a quick way to create niche websites. Once you get good, you can truly have a site up in 2 hours, banner included.
Once you get the site up an running, you just need to drive traffic. But the templates are quick and you can add pages and categorize them quickly…almost like using a blog format.
You do need to do the work on SEO and driving the traffic, but the site creation is quick.
Lastly the forum is great, and people are very helpful in trying to get you going. It is not like some of the affiliate marketing sites, that can be coy and downright rude to members.
