eBay Partner Network

My goal is to review easy online business opportunities for anyone who wishes to have an online business presence.

In these days of high and still rising prices it is a good idea to start making extra income and from the comfort of your own home. This can be done cheaply and easily.

No need for shopping carts, no need to be technically savvy, anyone can start a business cheaply and easily. If you enjoy learning and are willing to put in some effort, you'll be up and running in no time.

Join the eBay Partner Network

eBay gives everyone the opportunity to make a profit from eBay's revenue.

Your role as an eBay Partner Network affiliate is to be a middleman between customers and eBay. A customer links to eBay from your store and places a winning bid. That's it, you've just made some extra income.

View the eBay Partner Network Getting Started Video Tutorial to give you an idea of the steps involved. If you are new to affiliate marketing you may feel a little intimidated with the information overload, but believe me it is really easy.

How Much Money Can You Make

eBay sellers pay a revenue to eBay each time one is their items is sold.

You in turn get 50% or more from ebay's profit for having referred the customer.

In addition, you get $25.00 each time a new eBay customer signs up for an eBay account and places a bid.

For example: If eBay's revenue is $30.00, your share would be $15.00. If the customer who placed the winning bid had to signup to become a new eBay member, you gain an additional $25.00. You've just made yourself an easy $40.00.

Here is the revenue break down using the USA eBay program:

What Do You Need to Get Started

1. Join the eBay Partner Network.

2. Choose a niche (product) you wish to sell. If you are new to internet marketing, choose something you love such as sailing, golfing, barbecuing, knitting, toys.

3. Get a domain name for your chosen niche. The domain name you choose should relate to your niche. I purchase my domain names through www.GoDaddy.com
.

4. A Hosting Service for your web site. I use Hostgator. Blue Host is another excelling hosting service. Both of these services offer unlimited domains.

5. Create your store. eBay provides free tools to generate eBay listings, but you need to have a web site display the eBay listings. I recommend the BANS (Build a Niche Store) tool which creates eBay affiliate stores within 20 minutes - no kidding!

Here is one of the stores I created using the BANS tool.

See my Build A Niche Store review.

6. The gumption to drive traffic to your web site. Getting visitors/customers to your site is the bread and butter of any type of online business. This is where you need to spend effort and creativity.
