BANS Upgrade To Version 3

Posted by Paul B | March 6, 2008 .

I’ve been using BANS (Build A Niche Store) to earn money for a good few months now and the results are still great. The reason I rate BANS is down to a combination of it making money and it’s ease of use, there are probably better blogging platforms out there than WordPress but WordPress wins on the easy of use front, it’s the same with BANS, it’s hard to go wrong. If you are looking for an easy way of adding an e-bay store front to an existing website or to build a new website based around e-bay products then you can’t beat a bit of BANS! Not that you can forget the basics of promotion once you have your website in place, BANS makes the content easy, it’s still your job to get links and traffic as you’ll need visitors to make money with the BANS system. The advantage of niche marketing with e-bay over making money with Adsense and PPC ads is that a few targeted visitors can go a very long way!

What’s New In BANS Version 3
A couple of the changes are cosmetic, some should really help improve your earnings.

1. A new better looking easier to use (IMO) control panel.
2. The ability to cloak affiliate links (not only better for SEO but also click through rates)
3. Much better customisation of the way individual items are displayed, you can add or remove e-bay item elements from your listings
4. Several new listing layouts
5. Another 8 e-bay countries supported!

BANS is available through ClickBank for only $97, I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again for my money I think that’s a bargain. The e-bay affiliate program has huge potential for all niche marketers and BANS makes it very simple to get a slice of that action. If that wasn’t enough the purchase price not only includes the current version but all future upgrades (version 3 was free for me) and access to the extremely active BANS members forums. The only concern I had before buying was that I was worried that as with a lot of CMSs my store would end up looking the same as everybody else’s, not so, this is how some existing Build A Niche Store users are making money from the system.

A Couple Of Niche’s In Which I Make Money With BANS
Because of the huge amounts of product variation on e-bay it’s really possible to build a store front around any niche you can imagine. Some which are earning money for me as I type now include domestic fish tanks and equipment, fresh water fishing tackle, dancing outfits and Nintendo 64 games. If you can think it the chances are that e-bay sells it, if e-bay sells it then you can profit from it. There’s no reason at all not to jump on the BANS bandwagon.
