Next Tutorial will be on Setting up your Build A Niche Store

If you have any questions on installing Building A Niche Store please leave a comment here on this post I will be more than glad to assist you in Installing your Bans store.

BANS (Build A Niche Store) is a website builder which enables you to create a network of traffic pulling, money making niche websites focused around the eBay affiliate opportunity.

You simply choose your nichebuild and develop your sitepromotemake moneyrinse and repeat.

Thats the system and thats exactly what Build A Niche Store enables you to do!

The BANS and eBay Combination

Each eBay marketplace has an affiliate program which enables you to promote eBay listed products in exchange for a healthy share of eBays revenue for each sale that you refer.

The 12 eBay marketplaces that BANS currently supports (Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Spain, France, India, Italy, Netherlands, Singapore, United Kingdom, United States) hold a combined product inventory of over 60 million products.

These 60+ Million products cater to just about every imaginable niche from fishing rods to antique Chinese vases, engagement rings to Ipods and its all these products which you can control and then market using BANS.

As an eBay affiliate your aim is to connect relevant internet browsers through to relevant eBay products and your BANS built niche stores are the medium through which you can achieve this

The more niche stores that you build the more people you will transfer to eBay and the more eBay affiliate commissions you will make.

So How Does It Work?

Successfully using BANS revolves around following a simple 5 step system

Step 1: Choose Your Country

Your country choice will determine which specific eBay marketplace products you will be marketing.

If you choose eBay.com then you will be creating niche websites focused around eBay.com listed products and will then be marketing them to online shoppers in the United States.

If you choose the United Kingdom you will be doing the same for the eBay.co.uk marketplace and UK based shoppers and so forth.

Step 2: Choose Your Niche

With your target country chosen you then install BANS and once installed your first choice inside your new BANS admin panel is the niche you want to target.

If you choose the golf category BANS will build a golf eBay affiliate store, the diamond rings category then a diamond ring eBay affiliate store.

Straight out of the box your store will:

1. Contain all of those products listed on eBay relevant to your chosen niche.
2. Contain a sub-category navigation based on eBays hierarchical category structure.
3. Have all the search features of the eBay marketplace.
4. Have your eBay affiliate id embedded into each of the external product links to eBay.
5. Be completely SEO friendly.

Stage 2 is complete

Step 3: Develop Your New Website To Match Your Market

With your basic store built next comes development

BANS is a complete content management system with the development features to match any professional website builder.

The aim with this development stage is to match your market which means make it feel like its related to your target niche (through design) and add width and depth to it through the Store Page and Content Page features.

With a little bit of time spent inside your BANS admin panel you can transform your straight out of the box store into one which is themed to your niche and has store pages which target keywords that your market is actually using to find the products listed in your store.

Once you get into content creation you can add as many new pages to your site as you are willing to write or get written. As with any website or blog, every new page you add targets more keywords in the search engines which means more targeted traffic and more eBay affiliate commissions.

Again all of this development is done online and whilst logged into your BANS admin panel.

Step 4: Market Your Website To Your Target Niche

Once youre happy with your new niche store its time to turn your attention towards marketing.

If youve targeted golf then you want to attract golfers interested in purchasing specific pieces of golf equipment, if its a used motorcycle store that youve built then youre looking for those people who are about to buy a new bike.

By following a basic set of marketing principles including content creation, SEO, article marketing, forum marketing, Squidoo lenses, social bookmarking, link building, USFreeads and PPC you will soon be finding buyers for the products you have chosen to market and will be making a steady supply of eBay affiliate commissions. (Please note that there are a growing number of threads in our member forum that discuss these strategies).

At this stage you can then choose to spend some more time developing your niche store (particularly adding more content pages), pursue a more aggressive marketing strategy, or

Step 5: Begin Building Your eBay Affiliate Empire

Once you have familiarized yourself with the software and have built, developed and marketed your first site you will have a good understanding of how the system works.

You can then begin adding to your niche store portfolio by building new stores to target new niche markets.

If you commit to the project, take action and use our member forum as a support structure for your development you will soon find yourself with your own growing portfolio of eBay affiliate websites which are successfully funnelling buyers through to eBay and adding a nice monthly income to your bank account!

There are no pre-set limits as to the depth of each store that you create or the width of your entire portfolioyou get back what you put inand with a product inventory of over 60 million products to market there are more opportunities than it will ever be possible to target.

And Thats All There Is To It

Choose your country, choose your niche, develop your site, market your site, rinse and repeat!

If you follow this system you will find that BANS is the perfect platform for building up a new and long term income from the internet.
