Profit from the eBay Affiliate Program

Using BANS: Build a Niche Store

eBay affiliate program.

You've heard of affiliate marketing and you've heard of eBay. Now let's discuss eBay affiliate marketing.



The eBay affiliate marketing program is quite lucrative as marketing programs go. Baring sales of information products and internet services, the eBay affiliate program pays some of the best commissions of any affiliate program online.

eBay pays its affiliates a 50% commission on their fees on all products sold. They will also pay a flat commission for each new ebay user who registers. This kind of commission rate is unheard of in hard goods sales, which typically payout 4-15%.

Now, keep in mind that that 50% commission is on eBay fees, not on the final price of any given item.

eBay's affiliate program is run through the eBay Partner Network. At face value this might seem interesting to you, but highly impractical. After all, affiliate marketing can be challenging.

You have to build a website, optimize it for search engines, find a target audience, and find a way of delivering your products to the market.

Sounds too complicated, right?

Alternately, you can do what I first did when presented with the eBay affiliate program. I already had this website, so decided to add eBay listings to my pages where there was a specific product recommendation I was making. This worked well, I would earn commission on a handful of items each month, in addition to 1-2 new user signups. But this process was limiting, and I knew that there was more potential here.

So I began to search for a way to highlight the eBay affiliate program on my site, and what I found was BANS.

BuildANicheStore, aka BANS, is software designed to help users create a website specifically built around an eBay topic or theme using the ebay affiliate program.

It takes beginning webmasters step-by-step through the website building process, allowing them to create their own highly focused mini site on a particular topic that appeals to them and that has a strong following on eBay.

Let's say that your topic is baby strollers. With BANS, you create a small website describing the different brands of baby strollers, the good and bad features of any give type of stroller, and a complete eBay store full of every baby stroller currently for sale on eBay.


Users looking for eBay strollers find your niche site, get presold through your information, and click on eBay links from your site.

This will give you a commission on the products they purchase.

Your BuildANicheStore site is simply an informative portal to attract visitors and commissions.

Once set up, the site generates income on its own.

Users are reporting an average of $50-100+ per month, per Build a Niche Store site, depending on their niche topic, how nice their site looks, and their success in marketing it.

After you build your first BANS site, you can create another and another for the cost of a domain name. This will build you a profitable, residual income.

Several people are earning income exclusively through the eBay affiliate program using the Build a Niche Store software.

While I never suggest putting all your eggs into one basket, I do believe that building a few BANS sites will earn you a nice residual income, while teaching you some of the basics on designing and promoting a website.

The nice thing is, your eBay niche theme can go hand in hand with your other businesses. Sell bath and body products? Build a BANS site about relaxing bathroom accessories to go with your products. Sell kitchen products? Maybe a BANS site about kitchen appliances can complement your current business.

In addition to the eBay affiliate program, you are able to advertise anything else you want on your BANS site.

My Current BANS Sites

There is a big "hush-hush" when it comes to sharing the actual BANS sites that members are creating. They are terrified that someone will copy their website and steal their niche market.

Though, I will admit, that fear does exist in me, my goal with this website, Stay a Stay at Home Mom, is to help you, my reader. So I will share the BANS sites I am creating so you can see how it all works.

(Please don't copy my niches...create your own...it will be more beneficial to you and me.)



Direct Sales Supplies




Discount MREs


As I create more BANS sites (plan on doing 1-2 per month) I will share them here for you.

I also want to point out that the Stay a Stay at Home Mom Resource Store is also a BANS site, and is another way you can utilize this program with your own site, if you currently have one.
