Build a Niche Store Empire Series in 12 Weeks - Introduction

February 3, 2008

In less than 2 days I had more than 300 emails from people requesting they be considered for the Build a Niche Store Empire series! The response was much more than I had anticipated and choosing the group was a very hard task! With that in mind, I feel the group chosen will be most beneficial to ALL BANS users since each person was chosen for a specific reason that will help ALL of us further our goals with the Build a Niche Store product!

Even though I could not choose everyone who wanted to be a participant, I am confident ALL readers will greatly benefit as they follow along with us.

Lets get this ball rolling.

Week 1 - What is Build a Niche Store and Who exactly are the Participants?


Build a Niche Store is a wonderful little software script that allows everyday people like you and I, to take advantage of the very lucrative eBay Affiliate Program. In the short 6 months since I decided to us BANS to monetize about 15 of my own domains, they have grown to earn more than $2000 per month in residual income that just keeps on giving and growing! The ultimate goal will include using Build a Niche Store on more than 100 domains, with each adding to our income and helping us free ourselves of the daily 9-5 grind!

$2000 / 15 websites = $133 per month for each website. Multiply that by 100 sites and you have $13,333.00 each month!!

Now, I realize that managing 100 websites can be a large task, but the best part of Build a Niche Store is that once a site is live and running, you only need to spend 30 minutes to 1 hour per month on it for continued success!! 100 sites = 50-100 hours a month! That’s less time than a part time job!

Who can use Build a Niche Store?

Truthfully… Anyone can use the script! After you purchase it one time, you can use it on an unlimited number of websites and the only limitation is your initial budget! In a testament on how easy it is to use, I had my 15 year old son try it out a few months ago and develop a spare domain I had sitting in my GoDaddy account. With very little work, he earned $40 in January! I know, not much and definitely not enough to support anyone, but the key is… he launched the site, did little to no optimization, and it STILL earned a small bit of revenue within its first 60 days! He too, will be following this series to not only add a few more domains with his initial earnings, but also so he can fully optimize the store he already has.

Out of the box, BANS is the perfect work from home script for:

  • Stay at Home Moms or Dads
  • College students wanting to develop residual income
  • Domainers looking for ways to monetize domains 
  • Retirees
  • looking for a way to monetize domains
  • Website resellers looking to profit from content based sites
  • ANYONE who wants to ditch their day job and work 1-2 hours a day!

Essentially, if you can read and write an email… you can be the manager of a Build a Niche Store Empire in no time at all! Building your first site takes less than 30 minutes, even if you never setup a website in your life!

Key Features of Build a Niche Store

  • Unlimited Number of Niche Markets to Build your Store Around!
  • Highly Configurable Script to suit your own layout taste!
  • More than 10 Layout Templates INCLUDED with BANS!
  • Create your own custom content pages!
  • Flexible ad space for additional advertising opportunities!
  • 2500+ Member user Forum of ACTUAL BANS store owners!
  • 100% Supported by both the Community and the Developers!

A Few Sample Stores

As you meet the participants who will be taking part in this 12 week series, I am confident several will post a few links to their own stores as well.

Meet the Participants

When I originally decided to develop this series of posts, I decided I would assemble a group of approximately 10 volunteer’s , who were willing to contribute their own experiences along the way. As you will see throughout this first week, the group contains a very diverse set of skills that will provide everyone a look at the building process from the viewpoint of not only skilled developers, but also the view of some that have never even used BANS before today! 

In total, we have 11 participants, 12 if you count me! :-) The split is roughly 50/50 male and female. The group ranges in age from early 20’s all the way to Retiree’s! Experience with the web ranges from none to very skilled and fortunately, we have a few users who are very skilled in the PPC marketplace and have used that form of advertising to drive very respectable income through their stores!

If you are new to BANS or an experienced user, this 12 week series is sure to be a benefit to all!

    When I first looked into getting bans, I researched affiliate site. “sign up here and get free this,free that,50 bonuses etc” lots of hype and promises. When I finally found Marks site, I started reading,and reading and well you get the drift. I could see he was the real deal. heck, he didn’t ask me to sign up, or buy anything. I decided to purchase through him, because I felt that I would learn what I needed to know, right here.
    It must have been good timing, 3 days after getting bans Mark has the 12 week Build a Niche Store Empire series!

    I never thought that I would be a participant but I feel very lucky and privileged to have been chosen for this. i am excited, and nervous
    I have been floundering on the net since 1995, and now I feel that i will finally be able to start making a living on line.

    This is going to be so exciting! I’ve been using Mark’s tutorials since I started using BANS in November, and am thrilled that he’s formalized it into “BANS School”!

    If you are serious about BANS then you need to follow along. I’m amazed at how some of Mark’s advice payed off in his informal series, and can’t wait to implement his program in a more disciplined way.

    Thanks Mark & team!! Let’s all get RICH!

    Mark,

    This is EXACTLY what the BANS doctor ordered!!!

    I am a 4-month internet marketing newbie and we all need a step-by-step approach to follow with everything we’re trying to do and learn at the same time.

    I’ll be following and putting into practice as much as I possibly can because I believe when you guys decide to do something it is ALWAYS quality.

    Kudos and let’s get making money!!!

    Best,

    Jeff

    Hi Mark & Kim,

    There’s been many a time that I have almost ‘lived’ at your http://www.thenichestorebuilder.com website, reading, learning and self-motivating. There’s so much to know about getting beyond just using BANS, and also to make BANS websites earn a lot of money. But your website have helped me heaps. Thanks so much for sharing.

    So looking forward to learning more.

    Hello,
    I am so happy to have found this website. Somehow I landed at a post about niche store building at bloggingexperiment. Max, over there, posted a video about a test he did in setting up a BANS store and then calculating an annual income from multiple sites.

    Based on Max’s video, I purchased the BANS software, and also purchased Micro Niche Finder (optional!). I decided to just jump in, thinking I would get all questions answered over at the BANS forum. Oh dear, that is so time consuming and some people are short to the point of rude in their answers.

    I used Micro Niche Finder to choose a few domain names and I purchased six of them from GoDaddy. I then signed up for a year of hosting at Hostgator. I did the DNS name thingy and now am in the propogation wait for those six sites.

    I am going to be reading every word of this twelve week course, and I appreciate Mark’s and all the students’ generosity in freely sharing this information. I am going to work through all the steps. And if my first six sites turn out to be deadends, I will just start over and move forward!

    Let me raise a glass of soda water and cheer us all to great success, so we can work from home and spend more time with our dear ones!

    Diane
