As some of you are well aware – I am a big fan of the Build a Nice Store eBay affiliate script. Starting Oct 1st, I will be writing a 15-20 part series with specific focus on how I have applied my own knowledge and achieved moderate success with Build a Niche Store in less than 2 months!

UPDATE: 10/01/2007 - I was given a $5 discount code for ALL TO USE when registering a term on the MDW page. During Google Checkout, simply use “NicheMarketing” in the discount code box and you will save $5 bucks!! Thats a bargain!!
As I was browsing through some of my favorite spots yesterday, I continually ran into quite a few people talking about the Million Dollar Wiki site. Granted, I had read about it over a week ago at a few places, but could not make a decision on whether it was …
