My Review of BANS Build A Niche Store
4/20/07
I will be buying this program when the updated version comes out. I don't know when that will be but I hope its soon. I bought a couple of domain names just for this project and I want to get started. Check back later when I will give my review of it and tell you how easy or hard it is to get this up and running.

4/28/07 I Bought the New Version Today
Well I bought this today (version 1.3) and 10 hours later no success in getting it to run. This Build a Niche Store is definitely NOT FOR BEGINNERS. The manual assumes you know at least a fair amount about websites and all the mumbo jumbo that goes along with building them. VERY FRUSTRATING.

My first BANS store is now up. Alot of work needs to be done and I understand there are some bugs in the software. It is not working right in several areas but hopefully that will be fixed soon.
5/4/07
Well everything is on hold as the new script is full of bugs and supposedly they are working on fixes for all the problems. Don't buy this yet! Wait for all the problems to be worked out. Again though, you can check out my store at the link above and if you go to the site section you will notice several of the links don't work. Also right now you can't upload a new header photo. At least you can see a real store up and running.

The update is supposed to happen tomorrow. Hopefully I will then be able to make my store work like it is supposed to. Then I will have to figure out how to get traffic to it.

Its been a long road. I could have never done it without Adam at BANS who personally helped me with both of those sites. It seems there are so many little things that can go wrong. Hopefully the new manual that will be coming out soon will give more in-depth and detailed instructions. My first site is a GPS site/store and my second site is about the Sony PSP. I have made a little over a dollar so far!
The owners Kelvin and Adam are supposed to be working on a better manual that is a little clearer about the installation. I had a lot of problems and wanted to give up. They are also supposedly working on another manual about ideas to get traffic to your sites. Hope that comes out soon. It's now time to start to get traffic to my sites!
Well now I have made over $600 and please go to my website Work From Home Jobs for an often updated continuation of this review. It has been updated through 1/8/08 so there is lots more to read including sales totals for each month.
Great Stuff on CafePress

Nice lens. I have a few websites built with bans now. The one tip new users should always make sure to do is add unique content to each page. Otherwise it willl not rank well in the search engines.
Thanks
