Build A Store
Written by admin on February 8, 2009.
You are probably here because you need to make money. This is what I do. I have been creating websites since 1997, and actively making money online since 2002. Through this website, I am trying to give back to everyone who helped me make an income on the internet. Follow the seven steps highlighted in my posts, and you will be making money like I have been. I learn more every day, and hope to spread the wealth through tips and guidance to you. Follow along and join this journey of making money online.
Every night on the news there are more and more stories of an economic crisis. In January 2009 alone, 129,000 jobs were lost in Canada. Chrysler is shutting plants down, forestry mills are shutting down indefinitely, tourism is sinking. Governments in both Canada and the USA are sinking into large deficits in order to spend their way out of an economic disaster. You, your family members, or your friends may already have been laid off, or have an insecure work position with a possible axe coming any day.
The best part about this entire situation?
You can make an extra income from home in your spare time, leveraging the power of the eBay Partner Network. You can start with spending as little as one hour a day, or go full steam ahead and take your new business full-time. This is a foolproof business, you WILL make money if you dedicate atleast an hour per day. That’s all it can take.
What is EPN and how does it work?
EPN stands for the eBay Partner Network. This is the best converting affiliate program available on the internet. Ebay is the world’s number one auction site, with millions of users and thousands of auctions daily. With this program, you list eBay auctions on your website with your own unique ID, and if one of your website visitors goes to eBay, and wins an auction, you will receive a commission. Ebay’s commissions are generally at 50% of the final fee charged to the auction seller. If you think about it, you can make some very large and very generous commissions, all from the comfort of your home.
How do I incorporate EPN into a website?
There are several ways to do this. The easiest and quickest way to get a website online is using the Build A Niche Store software. With this software you simply upload the software to your webhost, install the website which is an easy 5 step process and then decide what type of auctions you would like to display on your website. It’s all set up using the administration panel of the software, and is VERY EASY to use. If you know how to use any Microsoft Office products, you’ll know how to use this software, it’s just that easy. Once you have your site built, you create original content, such as a couple articles, and you are on your way to making some money with EPN. Another piece of software is phpBay, which works with the free Wordpress blogging software, and that is explained in more detail in our step by step e-book.
How much money can I expect to make?
Honestly, the amount of money you will make is dependant on how much time you are willing to put forth with your stores. The more content you have on your stores, the better your keyword research using tools such as Micro Niche Finder, and the more backlinks you have to your store will all impact your success. Ther are many eBay affiliates who work full-time 40 hours a week on their eBay affiliate business, and earn in excess of $8,000 a month. I’m not in the $8,000 range yet, but I am comfortably earning an extra $600-$800 per month with EPN. Not only do you make a commission on the auctions you refer people to, but if a new user signs up with eBay and wins an auction within 30 days, you can make a referral commission worth up to $40.
Where do I start?
We’ve provided links to BANS (Build A Niche Store), phpBay, and Micro Niche Finder. Once you use these tools to build a website and add some content to it, you will then fill out an application for the eBay Partner Network. Now you are ready to make commissions. There are a few steps along the way with keyword research, domain name registration, hosting set-up, website installation, and content creation, however, this is why we have compiled a step by step guide for you to use. This guide will show you how to get the products you want to display, on the website you want to create, and how to do it, each step of the way. The information in our guide is priceless, I wish there had been a step by step guide for me when i started with the eBay affilliate program back in february 2008. I would be making a ton more money than I already am!
