Micro Niche Marketing: Become an eBay Seller

Micro Niche Marketing Made Easy: Build an eBay Niche Store

Meet the newest craze in our online business: micro niche marketing. Folks are jumping in to get started using some of the most exciting affiliate marketing software to come out in years — BANS, or Build a Niche Store, an easy and super fast website builder that focuses on the eBay affiliate program.

Be an eBay Seller…Without Selling a Thing

The BANS micro niche marketing model follows a fairly simple game plan: First, target a specific country to sell in, say the US, the UK, or Canada. The reason for this is that the products in your niche store will be listed in ebay.com, ebay.co.uk, or ebay.ca.

Next, choose a niche. This could be designer handbags, sports equipment, collectibles, electronics, etc. In the BANS admin panel, you’ll input this micro niche marketing category so the self-generating Ebay affiliate store will know which products to pull into your display.

With the store products already determined, you will then build the website. (Yup, this is sort of backwards from any other website you’ve ever built — where you created the site first then had to show it to merchants hoping to be approved to sell their products.)

Moving on to content creation, you can add as many pages as you want to your new Ebay referral site. The site is going to be highly targeted and contain a store with only specific products related to your niche.

The final steps will be your marketing efforts to sell the wares using natural search, PPC, forums, social networking, SEO, article directories, link building, and Squidoo lenses.

The Benefits of BANS + eBay

As an eBay affiliate, you’ll have the ability to focus on being a marketer and not have to worry about overhead, customer complaints, returns, or anything a retailer must deal with. Listed below are just a few of the highlights of being an eBay micro niche marketing affiliate:

No inventory & no shipping costs
No shopping carts and no payment processing
60+ million products and 12 worldwide marketplaces
Automatic updates to your store 24/7 as items are sold and new items are added to the eBay marketplace
Easy software set-up; works with blogs and websites
BANS is not limited to eBay; you can add AdSense and affiliate links elsewhere on the page

Now here’s the best part: You can earn 50% to 65% commission on eBay revenue and $25 to $35 commission per new active user referral.

What You’ll Need to Start

The cost of BANS is just $97. That’s about what you’d pay for a day or a week of PPC ads that may potentially produce zero revenue! It’s a one-time fee and you can build as many micro niche marketing stores as you want.

The set-up time: about 30 minutes per store. You will need to have a domain name and a hosting account, and be somewhat familiar with FTP. And FYI: Your website should be hosted on a Linux server with MySQL database access. In most cases, setting up MySQL means going into the control panel for your account and clicking on “Create Database” and entering a name for your niche store. It only takes a few minutes to set up.

Since this is a platform for running an eBay database the procedures might sound like techno-speak to a web beginner. Be sure to read the manual and ask questions at the BANS site if there’s anything you don’t understand.

Other than the website, the only requirement for running a or Build a Niche Store is that you’ll need to sign up to be an Ebay Affiliate Partner.
