A New Way To Make Money With eBay

When you hear “eBay” and “money” in the same sentence your probably think of becoming an eBay seller.

While I sell eBooks, you might think of selling things you no longer use or need, or getting into dropshipping, where you sell and someone else ships your items, or even worse, buying up tons of (excuse the word) crap, storing it in a spare room of the house until you get around to listing it. You place your listings in the eBay marketplace, buyers bid, you pay your eBay seller fees and what you have left is your profit margin (which sometimes, just really isn’t all that much).

There is, however, another way to build a great eBay business, but doesn’t involve you selling, managing, or storing a single item. It’s based on the eBay affiliate program and a really fantastic tool which makes this opportunity not only possible but also super easy. This tool is called BANS, or “Build A Niche Store“.

In case you haven’t learned this yet (hey, we’re all new once), affiliate programs enable you to promote products for other companies as an individual, and you make a commission for the sale of that product or service when purchased through you. You’re essentially a middleman, without having to do the markup or anything like that. People pay the same price whether referred or not, but when you’re the referrer, you get a cut of the profit.

The coolest part is that you can market the program or service any way you like usually.

Looking again at the eBay affiliate program, the way it works is that eBay will actually pay you up to 75% of the revenue they make from the sale of any and every item in their marketplace that you promote, PLUS up to $35 for each new active eBay member you refer to them! Can you imagine getting 75% of the profit for referring your friends to your favorite brand of tissue? Or $35 every time you introduce a friend to a new store? I mean, this is kind of a no brainer, eh? (You can have a read about the eBay.com affiliate program here.)

So the bottom line is that not only do you get to partner with the best branded marketplace in the world, you also get access to and control over ALL of the products listed in this marketplace. The eBay product inventory becomes YOUR product inventory and yet you do NOT have to stock items, deal with customers, organize shipping or process refunds.

Digital cameras, diamond jewelry, vintage cars, laptops, lawn mowers, Italian villas… the niches are endless!

If you know eBay you know how BIG it is – there are NO limits.

At this point you might think – Is there really any decent money in it? Well, eBay’s top affiliates make over 1 million dollars a month. Personally, I’d take 10% of that, wouldn’t you?

In all fairness, eBay does provide some basic free tools to help you succeed as an eBay affiliate and build a business on it but it has been the development of a tool outside of eBay that has really opened this up as a legitimate business opportunity.

The tool, as I mentioned earlier, is called “Build A Niche Store” and what it enables you to do is build eBay affiliate websites targeted to any eBay niche you want. These act as the medium through which you funnel targeted visitors to eBay.

Here are a couple of examples, one targeting Race Cars and the other Golf Equipment:

Race Car eBay Affiliate Website
Golf eBay Affiliate Website

As you can see, these are professional looking websites that contain all of those eBay products related to their target niche inside a searchable store format, each of which automatically contains your eBay affiliate id.

These stores then automatically update as new products are listed for sale and old listing expire from the eBay marketplace and the software has built in development features which enable you to create new store pages, add content to these pages, create content pages, modify your template, and so on.

Basically, in the space of about 10 minutes (once you are familiar with how the software works) you can create a fully functional eBay affiliate website targeted to the niche market of your choice. Attach it to your blog or build a brand new niche website (Domains are going for less than $9 a year at GoDaddy.com!) with some articles (either PLR or ones you write yourself) and you’re good to go! Your store content is all search engine friendly which will provide the foundation for attracting targeted traffic from the search engines and you can then use the development features to attract more targeted visitors which will in turn mean more eBay affiliate commissions.

It really is a brilliant concept and I’ve been hearing great things about the guys behind the project and the member forum which you get lifetime access to when you purchase the product.

Build A Niche Store comes with a step by step user manual which will walk even the most technically inexperienced through setting up their eBay affiliate website, 9 professional template layouts which can be customized (from inside your admin panel) to match your target niche, lifetime member forum access, comprehensive product support and possibly most importantly – an UNLIMITED domain license which means you can build as many of these niche websites as you want for the small one time fee.

Think about how many niches eBay caters to!
How big could your eBay affiliate business be?!

I’m working on my own stores, and I’ll post them here when they’re done, but don’t wait on me… Check it out today…
