If you have ever wondered what BANS or the build a niche store can do for you, money wise, I am here to tell you that there is a ton of money to be made operating these turnkey stores. And the good news is that if you can get a wordpress blog started, chances are great you can start to get started with a build a niche store.



So what are BANS?

BANS or build a niche stores as they are commonly referred as, are simply sites created from ebay for people who are affiliated with eBay. What happens in a nutshell is the site owner will grab the RSS feed from a specific (most of the time very specific) category of eBay and paste it as a page onto their site. What results is that the site owner gets a constant stream of new content, which the search engines love, and a bevy of long tail keywords for their niche.

Better still, since the long tail keywords that are produced from the feeds are typically at the tail end of a buyer's search funnel, the conversion rates can be as high as 50%. In other words, you don't neccessarily have to get a lot of traffic to make money with BANS.

For the ultimate beginner, there is a wordpress plug-in called PHPBay Pro that doesn't require any amount of experience other than how to install a wordpress plug-in. This is probably the simplest solution of any that I have found out there as it doesn't require having to create and install a database from the backend of a server. The only downside is that the stores typically have the look and feel of a blog (of course, if you know how a little about wordpress themes, you can easily make a blog look like a static storefront site as well).

The other more popular option is the actual BANS sites. The downside to this option is that the there is some backend knowledge required in order to make this work as the BANS software requires a knowledge of how to create a database. The upside is that the BANS sites come across as more professsional and look more like store fronts.

Whatever you choose, Build a niche stores are a hot way to instantly start to make money online. There are some BANS owners that are making $500 a day and operate nearly 300 BANS sites.
