Extra Income | You Can Make Money On EBay With Out Selling Items

If you are not familiar with BANS (build a niche store), its basically a script that creates website specifically designed for EBay’s affiliate program

EBay’s affiliate program is much like any other affiliate program. You get paid in a couple ways.
1.When a user clicks on a link from your site and goes to ebay and buys an Item through auction or immediate purchase EBay pays you 50% of their a commission. Example: is eBay makes $5 you get $2.50

2.When users that have never registered to eBay sign up for eBay and bid on and Item. You get $25

BANS is software that helps you to create all the links you need to specific products on EBay.

What you need to use BANS with eBay

1. An eBay user account and affiliate account.
2. A web hosting account: I use Hostgator, as do many others with BANS sites. buy a Reseller account if you can afford it. I’m using a standard hosting package with my 10 sites right now but can see that I will have to upgrade if I keep making BANS sites.

3. A domain name. Currently GoDaddy is selling “.info” domains for $1.99

The strategy behind using Ebay’s affiliate program is to focus in on a specific product or group of products. For example Scissors there are many types, sized and brands of scissors. You could build an entire BANS site on just scissors.

Example : Left handed scissors, kid safe scissors, vintage sewing scissors.
This doesn’t mean your BANS site has to be limited to just 3 pages but you should have 3 primary keyword to get users to your site from Google. Once you have keyword authority for those primary keywords you can then start targeting others.

That’s the basic rundown on what BANS is all about. If you want specifics see this post on BANS


Once you have your BANS site up and running you work on getting backlinks and keyword authority.
