In my last post, eBay Partner Network - eBay’s Affiliate Program, I talked about the eBay Affiliate Program. If you are interested in building some sites and don’t necessarily have the web design knowledge or are looking for an easier and faster way to get some sites up, then Build A Niche Store (BANS) is the product for you.

BANS is a tool to help you build websites in 15 to 20 minutes that can have hundreds of pages depending on the niches and categories that you choose. You need a hosting account (it needs to be UNIX hosting), a domain name, and you need to already be a member of the eBay affiliate program, EPN. Once you get your copy of BANS, installation is easy. 

All you need to do is upload your BANS files to your domain hosting via ftp then follow the directions for installation, choose your category or categories, enter in your campaign id number, and now you have your new site. Customize the site to meet your needs by adding a header banner or logo, changing colors, changing the layout of the auctions, and adding some unique content. You can also add a paragraph or two on each individual page to make them more unique. The best part is that you can set up as many sites as you want with one copy of BANS.

I currently have 7 stores set up. I am planning on adding some more content to these stores and to build some more stores. Just one of my stores has more than paid for the initial $97 cost in its first month. I highly recommend that you get a copy of BANS. It makes making money online with eBay so much easier. With a good niche and some marketing, you can be well on your way to making decent income.
