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.

KEYWORDS:

“trek frame”

• 1,300 Searches Per Month
• ONLY 5,140 Compeing websites

“trek road frames”

All numbers are generated from Google. If you add these numbers together then you are targeting a potential 2,053 visitors a month.

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!

If you’re like me and have been using BANS (Build A Niche Store) for a while, then you know that finding resources is vital to your affiliate success.  Many of you BANS users may already know about The Niche Store Builder The The Niche Store Builder is run and owned by Mark Hansen.

Mark Hansen has been around website development since 1994.  His skills revolve around web application development and search engine positioning strategies, specifically focused on e-commerce in ASP/VBscript.

Mark created The Niche Store Builder to help individuals learn and apply the necessary skills needed to run a successful eBay affiliate website. Though this community is built around the BANS script/software.  There are plenty of tips and resources any affiliate marketer can use and benefit from.

Mark provides a ton of quality content.  From the basics of uploading files to step-by-step tutorials showing you how to run a successful affiliate website in 12 weeks.

Mark also provides solutions to some of the most popular questions with integrating WordPress and BANS.  He provides step-by-step videos showing you exactly how to implement BANS with WordPress. Mark provides these detailed step-by-step videos on his blog free of charge.

That’s the one thing that blows me away about Mark.  Most other webmasters/Internet marketers would charge an arm and a leg to access these videos.  Mark provides all this plus outstanding interaction and support for free.

Great job Mark and keep up the good work.

I just wanted to share my ebay affiliate income for July 2008. I run about 5 BANS sites which are NOT fully SEO optimized for the search engines. I do have one site that is okay but still needs a little more optimization for certain keywords.

Now let me remind you that I used the same methods (longtail keywords) that I provide on this blog. I don’t do anything different. I just optimize each page according to my research, add content, and find backlinks. I also write an article or two and add it to ezinearticles.com for a little link love.

Here is the break down of my income;

July ebay affiliate income = $241.90

Yearly ebay affiliate income (since the April 08 EPN switch) = $741.02

My goal is to have 10 fully optimized BANS sites that are generating a combined total of $2,500 per month by December 2008. It’s a short term goal that I think is reachable. I’ll be posting frequently to keep you posted.
