Niche stores can be a great way to make money on the Internet. Thousands of small businesses have discovered that BANS (Build a Niche Store Script) is an inexpensive way to introduce their products to new customers and begin to generate a cash flow.

The problem, as even inexperienced users know, is that the Build a Niche Store script gives you only nine pre-made templates within the administrator.  There are thousands of BANS, and nearly all of them use one of those nine pre-made templates. Each store looks very similar, and merchants have a difficult time differentiating themselves from the masses.

Perception is everything when it comes to sales, and if my store has the same layout, color scheme and set up as every other store, it looks to my potential customers as if I have the same, dull products as they find at every other store. I need to have a site that makes my store look atypical and unconventional so customers pause, look further, and take time to discover what I have to offer.

That’s where the product, That’s where the product, “Build a Niche Store Premium Templates” can step in and help out.  By altering the code on the Ebay template, Ian Fernando’s product provides up to nine different templates for a BANS stores and up to 18 different themes for a BANS website.

Demo Template #1

Most storeowners aren’t computer experts, and have no interest in or knowledge of code and programming. Still, we want to give customers a reason to stop at our site and see the unique products we are selling. For those of use who fit this description, these Premium Templates provide an answer.

Using the templates is a breeze, and I found it an easy process to install them. Anyone who runs an Internet retail site has enough point and click, download and upload knowledge to quickly get them up and running.  It only takes three simple steps:

• choosing and downloading the theme,
• uploading it to your websites theme directory,
• then choosing it to be your Template.

Demo Template #2

From there, it’s the same straightforward process to create your store and display your products as you’re already used to – your store just looks a whole lot better.

The point to this process is, of course, increasing the number of potential customers who actually become buyers on your site. These colorful and different layouts do drive more traffic to the store, and that’s going to mean more cash in pocket.

Demo Template #3

The best selling point to me is the 100 per cent satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy with the templates within thirty days, you can get a refund of your money, no questions asked, no debates or justifications, no problems. That’s the kind of business I like to be, and that’s the kind of business I want to do business with.

It’s getting harder and harder to stand out in the BANS business. These Premium Templates are simple and effective way to get that unique look that will show customers that your store is something different, and something that they’ll like.

Ebay Partner Network

My Ebay earnings dropped from $300 a month to a low of $195.18 last month. I think a lot of this is due to the lack of spending on luxury items.

Pepperjam Network

My PPC campaign went fairly decent. I spent a total of $50 and made $110for a profit of $60. I was playing it safe. This was with only 1 campaign on 1 search network (MSN). I pretty happy that I ended up in the positive for both programs.

Here is the break down;

Ebay Partner Network: $195.18

Pepperjam Network (PPC): $110.00

Adsense: $12.14

Gross Income: $

Costs: -$50

Net Profit: $267.32

Not bad! That’s with all sites on auto pilot, with little to no SEO. I’m still working to improve each of the 4 BANS and PHPBAY sites I’m currently running.

Let’s hope that next month is much better!

Do you want to make money on the internet, and as soon as possible? Setting up an internet store is a proven way to monetize web traffic. However, becoming a web merchant can be a long process and requires a large investment in money and space for resale goods. So how do web merchants bring in the big bucks without breaking the bank? They set up an eBay niche store.

There are two major eBay niche store programs out there: Phpbay Pro and BANS, which stands for ‘Build a Niche Store’. They have several key elements in common. Both allow you to build a store on your website using eBay products that are sold by other vendors. This offers quick and easy money, sometimes taking just minutes. Both use the keywords and phrases on your website to determine what products will sell best to your audience. Both stores can enhance your search engine rankings by adding relevant and valuable key words to your website. However, there are a few key differences.

Phpbay Pro is unique because it is also a wordpress plug-in. WordPress is a very Google friendly format, so this can mean being higher up on a search engine results page. Also,  Phpbay Pro masks the links, so they come up on Google as fresh content, which again can increase a search engine ranking. Users report that the customer support at Phpbay Pro is nothing short of amazing, which can be a huge bonus if you are new to the niche store concept.

BANS has an excellent range of templates, which allow users to customize the look of their niche store. Another benefit is that they are easy to install.  However, BANS does not have the same wordpress options as Phpbay Pro, and therefore will not reap the same harvest of web traffic for your website. BANS also is generally considered buggy, with quite a few annoying and malproductive quirks. Although BANS offers an attractive addition to your website, they will bring a few headaches along for the ride.

If you’re afraid putting this kind of money-maker on your site will compromise your site’s integrity, think again. Phpbay Pro and BANS both allow users to choose their vendors and categories, which can prevent inappropriate items from getting onto a website. They also both use keyword driven listings that are guaranteed to be a good fit with your website. Whichever you choose, there is no reason to let your website go another day without adding this easy and lucrative money making feature.

I’m showing you this to let you know that it is possible to earn a little extra money every month with a BANS or phpbay store.

August EPN Income

Three hundred dollars may not seem like much but, to a newbie like me, it shows that there is hope for a increase in knowledge and income.

Remember, the only thing I have done is establish a website or blog around a specific niche, add very little content, and make sure I use the niche keywords in the header and title of my blog/website. I still have lots of work to do with my websites as far as SEO and gaining backlinks.  If you want to see an example of one of my sites then you can check out www.eghilliesuits.com (still needs a lot of work). This site is bringing about $70 a month just sitting on the web.

I’ll be sharing exactly what I do to earn form EPN and affiliate income as I learn on the go. Be sure to check back soon for more tips.

Many software products have been created that claim to be able to provide users with a steady source of affiliate income.  The problem with these products is that they rarely live up to the expectations of their users.  If you have ever been disappointed by a software product that promises affiliate income you should consider using phpBay Pro.

phpBay Pro is an exciting new product that actually works.  When added to your existing php powered website or WordPress blog phpBay Pro will encourage your visitors to sign up for eBay and make purchases.  You will earn a commission each and every time your visitors sign up for a new eBay account.    If you are worried about not making money through eBay sign ups don’t despair, eBay will give you a commission each time a website user places a winning bid on the auctions listed on your site with phpBay Pro.

In addition to providing you with a chance to earn affiliate income through eBay, phpBay Pro gives you the chance to add keyword rich content to your website or WordPress blog.  This additional content will help increase your websites value and reputation with search engines.  A higher search engine ranking will expose your website to even more visitors increasing your chances of earning affiliate income through eBay.

Another benefit of using phpBay Pro is you do not have to limit your earning potential to eBay alone.  This amazing program can be used with other affiliate programs including Mediaplex and the popular Pepperjam affiliate network. Once you choose what affiliate program you want to use phpBay Pro lets you set up multiple stores designed to target a specific customer base or niche that is unique to your website or WordPress blog.

If your website is targeted to visitors from a specific reason you have the option of restricting your auction listings to items located in a certain area.  With phpBay pro you can list items that are located in 17 different regions.  The auction listings will be displayed in the currency and language of the region or country that has been specified by the user.  There is even the option to list items using postal zip codes creating an extremely specific list of auction items that is perfect for websites and WordPress blogs aimed towards the residents of certain city or town.

One of the best features of phpBay Pro is the customer service and support that is offered by the creators.  phpBay Pro has been available since 2006 and upgrades are constantly being made to make sure the product is supports the most recent, and popular affiliate program.  More importantly, installation support and detailed documentation is provided to all new customers.  No more worrying about purchasing a software product that you cannot use.  The creators of phpBay Pro have made it easy for users to get the product online and earning affiliate income.

Website owners that have been trying to find a way to increase their affiliate income should consider using phpBay Pro.  It is one product that makes it possible to earn additional revenue with any existing php driven website or WordPress blog.

Here are some products I’ve pulled up from ebay. This is to show you the potential BANS site you could build from this niche market.

Let me know what you think.

Some of you may remember my previous post about trek bicycles. The post just explains how bicycling is very popular and can be a profitable niche market if you play your cards right.

Well, I’m here to tell you that I’ve found another niche idea from the Trek bicycling market. It deals with Trek bike frames. This is great because each frame costs hundreds of dollars and that’s excellent especially if you are an ebay affiliate.

There are plenty of ways to profit from Trek bike frames. You can;

• Build a BANS(Build A Niche Store) site
• Create a review site
• PPC ads
• Article Marketing.

I’m sure you have other way to generate income from this niche market idea. Here are some keywords to help you out.

You could build an entire BANS/website around trek frames. BANS will also provide fresh content for the keyword term. I would hurry and jump on this niche market before it gets saturated!
